Swoop Dog (Launceston Race 5 No. 1)
This three-year-old Husson gelding has two wins and a place from four starts,and like all the others in the field he is having his first try at this distance. He was outsprinted when a length 2nd over 1600m at Launceston on 12 December, then swung very wide in the straight and finished best for a 1.5 length win in the Listed Tasmanian Guineas over 1600m at Launceston on 8 January. He’s is going well and looks the likely winner.

This five-year-old Needs Further gelding has had 18 starts for three wins and seven places, including two wins and five places at this track. He laboured and died on his run in the straight to finish 7.95 lengths 7th over 1200m at Launceston on 16 December, then ground home for 6.5 lengths 7th over 1150m at Devonport Tapeta Synthetic on 6 Janaury.

Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 5th May 2024
Key Comments The track is a synthetic tapeta-based surface and weather has minimal effect on how it races. The rail remains in the true position. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with a slight advantage to those who land forward of midfield and can find a cart into the race from the wider lanes in the straight.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Sunday 5th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet is in the first and was explosive on debut. Expecting all to have their chance on this track that usually plays fair. Best Bet What A Cross (Sale Race 1 No. 10) Big finale on debut and looms at likeable odds here. Was smacked in betting then and almost pulled off the plunge when flying to the line. Looks a huge chance here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
