ZEROING IN

We go about finding a weekend special from a statistical angle.

Canterbury Race 8 - 5 Avonaco

Not often you can go wrong siding with the Chris Waller/Hugh Bowman combination and hence happy to stick with Avonaco on the weekend.

A distinct model of consistency this time in he has continued to raise the bar and appears well placed dropping back in trip on Saturday.

With 21 days between runs he should be fresh enough to sprint well over the shorter journey while he still has the fitness edge on his side in what could prove testing conditions.

In five attempts at Canterbury Avonaco has only missed the money once and has placed in four of six attempts over this trip.

From the inside draw he looks to receive all the favours and if able to hold his form he looks to set a decent standard for his rivals.
