Our Hobart Racing Tips for Sundays meeting.
The main races are the $250,000 Group 3 Hobart Cup (Race 9), Group 3 Bow Mistress Trophy (race 8), Listed Thomas Lyons Stakes (race 6) and Listed Strutt Stakes (race 7).
Hela (Hobart Race 7 No. 2)
This three-year-old Night Of Thunder filly trained by Scott Brunton is unbeaten in four starts and looks the likely winner of the Group 3 Strutt Stakes. She led and out-booted them for a length win over 1400m at Launceston on 8 January, then sat outside the leader before racing away around the turn for a dominant 4 length win in the Thousand Guineas over 1600m at Hobart on 24 January. She should handle the extra distance and remain unbeaten.

Each Way
Toorak Affair (Hobart Race 9 No. 4):
This seven-year-old Toorak Toff mare trained by Michael Trinder won the Hobart Cup last year and is looking for back-to-back wins. She won the Listed Tasmanian Stakes by 0.3 length over 1600m at Launceston on 8 January, before finishing 3 lengths 4th in the Summer Cup over 2200m at Hobart on 24 January, She can handle soft tracks and looks a nice each-way bet.

Odin’s Folly (Hobart Race 10 No. 1):
This six-year-old mare is the early favourite in this BM 66 handicap over 2100m, as 3 of her 4 wins have been at this distance range. She managed to out-stay the runner-up for a 0.5 length win over 2100m at Launceston on 16 December, then didn’t get clear running and was eased down for 4.9 lengths 9th in the Brighton Cup over 2100m at Launceston on 8 January. Even with a 2kg claim for apprentice Thomas Doyle she will carry 4kg more than last outing and offers no value.

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
