Our Randwick Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Harpo Marx (Randwick Race 2 No. 1):
This five-year-old Galileo gelding trained by Bjorn Baker has five wins and six places from 22 starts. He came from last to run on strongly on the heavy track and win by 1.84 lengths over 2000m at Randwick on 10 July, then ran on from well back for 2.09 lengths 5th over 2400m at Rosehill with the best last 600m race sectional. Powers home and should win.

Each Way
Fastconi (Randwick Race 9 No. 4):
This four-year-old Nicconi gelding from the Chris Waller stable has three wins and seven places from 15 starts. He kept chasing but was no match for the winner late when 0.32 length 2nd over 1100m at Rosehill on 3 July, then ran on strongly to find the front at the 100m and raced away for a 2 length win over 1200m at Randwick on 17 July. Hasn’t finished worse than 4th in seven starts this campaign and looks a great each-way chance.

Bazooka (Randwick Race 5 No. 9):
This four-year-old Smart Missile gelding trained by David Payne is the early favourite in this Midway BM 72 handicap over 1800m. He only battled in the straight on the heavy track for 5.8 lengths 3rd over 1300m at Randwick on 10 July, then came from well back in the field for 2.96 lengths 2nd over 1500m at Rosehill on 24 July. Will run his usual honest race but with only one win from 20 starts I am prepared to risk him here.

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
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Thursday 9th May 2024
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.
