Our Strathalbyn Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Lutz (Strathalbyn Race 7 No. 2)
This three-year-old Panzer Division gelding trained by Richard and Chantelle Jolly has one win and one place from five starts. He worked home well making ground in the final 175m but was unable to reel in leader and finished 2.5 lengths 2nd over 1506m at Gawler on 16 May, then hit the front at the turn and came clear for a 4 length win over 2055m at Strathalbyn on 26 May to break his maiden. Jake Toerek retains the ride and he is a leading chance.

Each Way
Canidae (Strathalbyn Race 8 No. 6):
This five-year-old Foxwedge gelding trained by John Hickmott at Murray Bridge has five wins and 14 places from 46 starts. He made some ground without threatening for 2.5 lengths 5th over 1600m at Balaklava on 12 May, then worked home strongly to gather in the leaders in the closing stages for a 0.8 length win over 1550m at Bordertown on 19 May. Has placed in 3 of his 4 previous runs at Strathalbyn and looks a good each-way chance again.

Sanbuck (Strathalbyn Race 6 No. 1):
This four-year-old Reward For Effort gelding is the early favourite in this BM 54 handicap over 1100m. He wasn’t fully tested late when 2.8 lengths 5th over 1050m at Balaklava on 12 May, then was held up from the turn to te 200m and battled evenly once clear for 3.1 lengths 5th over 1100m at Strathalbyn on 26 May. He has only won once from 20 starts and I’m prepared to risk him here.

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
