Our Flemington Horse Racing Tips for Saturday’s meeting.
Alcyone (Flemington Race 3 No. 6)
Godolphin galloper who has two wins and four placings from his ten starts. He won first up at Sandown, was strong to the line second up behind Mr Brightside (strong form), then was very unlucky at a crucial stage in a good form race at Caulfield last time out. He maps in the perfect spot here while his key danger Vitruvius has drawn a tricky barrier out wide. Keen.

Zayydani (Flemington Race 5 No. 8):
Five year old mare trained by Team Hayes. She has not been far away from Floating Artist at her last two starts and that horse has since ran fourth in the Melbourne Cup. Races well here. Looks over the odds at $12 in an even race.

Warning (Flemington Race 2 No. 1):
Warning is the current $2.60 favourite in the Group 3 Queen Elizabeth Stakes. On a day where most of the favourites look to have terrific chances, I think he is the one that looks short enough in early markets. He doesn’t win out of turn and faces the prospect of a slowly run race here which is unlikely to suit.

Key Comments The track is rated good and the rail is in the true position for the 9 race meeting. Best Bet Super Duck (Warwick Race 8 No. 12) He came back from a 14 week spell for a 1.5 length win over 1100m at Beaudesert where he looked to have come back a better horse. Should take improvement from the first-up run and be hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way

Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Thursday 9th May 2024
Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. Keep an eye on the conditions in the lead up and fingers crossed the meeting still goes ahead. Best Bet Self Worth (Grafton Race 1 No. 7) Looks well placed to resume a winner. Concede there has been 17 career starts for Self Worth but it does find a very thin maiden and has enough early speed to find a prominent spot and off set the wide draw. Check odds on SmartB
