Canterbury Racing Tips for Monday, June 8th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Canterbury on Monday, which includes eight races at the quality meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the New South Wales meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (12:15) E Security Group Maiden (1250m)

#3 – Excelluna @ $4.60

Excelluna hasn’t been too far away from breaking through this preparation after posting placings at Muswellbrook and Kembla Grange.

The Freedman-trained filly ran fifth at Warwick Farm last time out, and slight improvement should take her close.

It’s not a tough field, so the each-way odds appeal.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (12:50) Drinkwise Maiden (1250m)

#6 – Klocke @ $3.80

BET NOW

Big bets have come for Klocke, who opened at $7.50 before firming considerably over the weekend.

The Chris Waller-trained colt looked good when winning a trial at Rosehill, which should have him in good order for this race.

We’re happy to follow the betting moves with the favourite.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:25) Schweppes BM64 (1250m)

#1 – Hello Captain @ $2.20

BET NOW

Hello Captain showed good fight to score fresh up at Warwick Farm, and he’s a runner worth sticking with throughout the winter.

The Waller-trained three-year-old is hoping to make it three on the bounce after winning either side of a spell, and he’s strong enough to carry 62kg to victory.

Include him in horse racing multis on King’s Birthday.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 4. (14:00) The Agency Real Estate BM64 (1550m)

#4 – Rach @ $7.00

BET NOW

Rach scored a quality win at Newcastle last start, and something close to that is enough to handle this field.

She is another Waller-trained runner with an excellent chance to win, and she will get through the conditions better than most.

The $7 odds are better than expected, so snap up the value.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (14:35) All Too Hard at Vinery Stud BM72 (1900m)

#3 – Sting in the Tail @ $8.50

BET NOW

Punters get value odds for Sting in the Tail, who is better than what she showed at Warwick Farm last start.

The five-year-old mare has a better record at Canterbury with eight starts for a win and two placings, and getting back to this track helps.

It’s an even field, so the $8.50 odds are generous.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:10) Toyota Forklifts BM72 (1550m)

#3 – Audrey’s Lane @ $3.30

BET NOW

Looking to bounce back from a tough run at Randwick is Audrey’s Lane, who was much better when scoring a win and three placings earlier this prep.

The five-year-old mare by Pierro runs best on soft tracks, and she should get every chance to beat this field with 3kg coming off her back.

The $3.30 odds are warranted, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (15:45) Tab BM88 (1100m)

#5 – World Alliance @ $8.50

BET NOW

Matthew Smith lines up World Alliance, who owns six wins and seven placings overall, and he could add to his record on Monday.

The six-year-old son of Rubick has yet to finish worse than second in two starts at Canterbury, and he only needs luck from a wide draw to go close.

Look for him to settle handy and give a good kick in the straight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:20) Ranvet BM72 (1250m)

#1 – Mafia @ $6.00

BET NOW

Seeking consecutive wins is Mafia, who was too good for a tidy field at Randwick last start when scoring by a length.

The five-year-old has been given a big weight to carry, but 3kg comes off his back, and that should see him be competitive in an even field.

Barrier two is ideal, so take the drifting odds.

Stake: 1 Unit
