Best Bets for Canterbury by Mick Gannon 10/9/25

Race 3 #6 Night Agent $3.70

Debuting for Kris Lees, Night Agent brings the right profile off two sharp trials this prep.

Importantly, James McDonald was aboard in the first trial at Gosford and sticks here, a strong signal of intent.

The Lees–McDonald partnership has been lethal in the past 12 months, striking at 35.3% with a 40.3% POT, so the market will pay close attention.

From barrier 2, the son of Brutal maps to land midfield before being produced into clear air on straightening.

With a $100,000 Inglis bonus also up for grabs, expect J-Mac to have him primed for a big debut performance.

 

Race 4 #8 Luskaire 42.70

The son of American Pharoah has been knocking on the door this prep and looks ideally placed fifth-up.

He rises in grade but gains the services of J-Mac and maps to roll forward from barrier 4 to sit on speed in this small field.

Importantly, he relishes rain-affected ground and with conditions to suit, Luskaire should give a huge sight in a very winnable race.
