Canterbury Racing Tips for Friday, November 13th 2026

First race in 21h 34m

Night racing returns to Canterbury, and there are always some quality horses in action. The eight-card card is set to run on a good 4 surface, so the conditions are ideal, and punters have already come for a few runners on the card.

Race 1. (18:00) Schweppes Maiden (1100m)

#4 - Water City @ $1.95

BET NOW

Looking to justify the betting support is Water City, who hasn’t been too far away from the prize in two runs at Hawkesbury.

The three-year-old filly by I Am Invincible was a touch too far back in the run last time out, but she picked up nicely close to the line.

The inside draw with James McDonald riding helps her chances.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (18:30) Piccolo Me Maiden (1250m)

#8 - Esteemed @ $3.70

BET NOW

Chris Waller lines up Esteemed, who comes off a fourth at the trials, and we liked her action in that trial.

The three-year-old filly gets the services of James McDonald in the saddle, and barrier three gives her an ideal trip in transit.

Race day betting will be key, so keep an eye on markets.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (19:00) Ooshman Maiden (1550m)

#8 - Ligularia @ $5.50

BET NOW

We’re taking the each-way odds for Ligularia, who ran second on debut before resuming this prep with two solid efforts.

The Joe Pride-trained mare comes off a fourth at Warwick Farm behind Horologist, and we like that form going forward.

She has drawn well, so she should give punters a sight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (19:30) Char'd Charcoal Chicken BM72 (1900m)

#3 - Koolibah @ $1.70

BET NOW

A runner who should appreciate the drop in class is Koolibah, who ran in BM78 grade when placing last time out.

The Waller-trained mare owns two wins and three placings from eight starts overall, and she is good enough to put this field away.

The odds are on the shorter side of value, but she’s a good multi bet pick.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 5. (20:00) Super Nash Bros BM72 (1550m)

#6 - It's a Wonder @ $11.00

BET NOW

There isn’t much between this field, so It’s a Wonder is worth including in picks at double-figure odds.

The six-year-old mare by Dundeel should appreciate the rise in distance after running at 1400m last start, and 55kg is ideal.

She’s an upset chance, so include her at value odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (20:30) Kerbside BM78 (1100m)

#4 - Just Awesome @ $3.30

BET NOW

Looking to post three consecutive wins is Just Awesome, who scored his last two wins at Newcastle.

The four-year-old son of Written Tycoon is a four-time winner from nine starts overall, and although there is more depth to this field, his confidence levels are high.

Getting 3kg off his back is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (21:00) Kia Evening Star BM72 (1250m)

#9 - Easiest Choice @ $6.50

BET NOW

The favourite will be tough to beat, but punters get value odds for Easiest Choice, who runs well fresh up with a win and a placing.

She looked good when winning at Wyong last preparation, and she only needs to replicate that effort to take her close.

At the odds, she is worth including in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (21:30) Metro Petroleum BM72 (1250m)

#2 - Beneath the Rock @ $2.20

BET NOW

Kris Lees lines up Beneath the Rock, who won at Newcastle fresh up before placing at Warwick Farm last time out.

The four-year-old mare by Unite and Conquer has yet to finish worse than third in four attempts, so she’s a consistent type.

The inside draw is ideal, and she gets 2kg off her back, so she’ll get her chance.

Stake: 2 Units
