There’s holiday magic in the air as two ultra-consistent country sprinters lock horns in a potential campaign-defining showdown in Canterbury.

Two ultra-consistent and high-class country sprinters lock horns in a potential campaign-defining showdown at Monday’s Canterbury meeting.

They lock horns in a very competitive Benchmark 88 Hcp over 1100m on a surface that is slowly drying out, and expected to reach Heavy 8, or even Soft 7, by well into Monday. That form reads well for this, given he is unbeaten from two second-up runs, has built a smart record on rain-affected going, and drops 3.5kg for this test, with leading jockey Tim Clark taking over in the saddle.But drawn further out and coming off an impressive first-up BM 78 win over the Scone carnival, Dollar Magic looms as a huge threat from the Scott Singleton yard.

Throw in smart Hawkesbury four-year-old Jedibeel, a BM 72 winner on the Kensington track two starts back, and rejuvenated wet tracker Cigar Flick who charged home to win a BM 72 at Rosehill, and punters await a potential magical form reference heading deeper into winter.The meeting kicks off with consecutive two-year-old races at set weights, and among a host of lightly raced and exciting debutants Rubick filly Tessy Tee could be the one making early headlines.
