Our Rosehill Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature races are the Group 1 Coolmore Classic (race 7), the Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes for 3YOs (race 6) and the Group 2 Ajax Stakes (race 8).
Criaderas (Rosehill Race 8 No. 11)
This four-year-old Lonhro gelding trained by James Cummings has four wins and four places from nine starts. At the end of last campaign he ran on strongly from well back for 0.4, 0.1 lengths 3rd in the Group 2 Villiers Stakes over 1600m at Randwick on 12 December where he had the best overall race sectionals. First-up after an 11 week spell he was heavily backed and ran on from well back for 0.2 length 2nd in the Group 3 Liverpool City Cup over 1300m at Randwick on 27 February. Drawn in barrier 1 and carrying minimum weight he should be winning.

Each Way
Spirit Ridge (Rosehill Race 4 No. 6):
This six-year-old gelding trained by Mark Newnham at Warwick Farm has five wins and four places from 13 starts and has won twice at this distance. He chased hard to get ahead late and win by 0.2 lengths in the Group 3 Summer Cup over 2000m at Randwick on 26 December, then he chased hard to find the front at the 200m and came away to win by 0.8 lengths in the Listed January Cup over 2000m at Randwick on 9 January. He hasn’t raced at Rosehill before but looks a great each-way chance.

Hungry Heart (Rosehill Race 6 No. 6):
This three-year-old Frankel filly trained by Chris Waller is the early favourite in the Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes for 3YOs over 1500m. She resumed after 18 weeks for 2 lengths 7th in the Group 2 Light Fingers Stakes over 1200m at Randwick on 13 February, then kept chasing between runners for 5.6 lengths 8th in the Group 1 Surround Stakes over 1400m at Randwick on 27 February. Other runners have better recent form and I don’t think she can win.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Wednesday 8th May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +11 metres for the 9 race card. Best Bet Metalart (Eagle Farm Race 9 No. 9) Unbeaten at both his starts and should be running near the front. Both runs have been on soft going and he should be hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Thesecondatportsea (Eagle Farm Race 4 No. 4) She’s won 3 of her 5 starts
Horse Racing Tips: SA Wednesday 8th May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +7 metres from the 800m to 400m and +6 for the remainder. Best Bet Chosen Miss (Gawler Race 4 No. 1) Last start she was 0.5 length 2nd at Strathalbyn and the start before was a 4 length winner at Balaklava. She’s in form and gets a 3kg claim for Tala Hutchinson. Nicely placed. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way High On

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet had no luck last run when a $101 chance and will start much shorter this time around. Best Bet Themoonsaballoon (Pakenham Race 4 No. 5) Remarkable effort to remain standing and hit the line like it did after the horse took a poor step and the jockey wasn't far off falling off. Picked up momentum regardless and steamed to the finish to just miss out on the win. This 6yo was $101.00 that day
Horse Racing Tips: WA Wednesday 8th May 2024
Key Comments There are 10 races today. The track is rated Soft and the rail is +16 metres and a cutaway applies. Best Bet Masamune (Ascot Race 5 No. 1) Resumes after a 21 week spell and showed a sharp turn of foot to win a recent trial. He has the inside draw and should be very hard to beat.
