Our Devonport Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Michbar (Devonport Race 5 No. 1)
It’s been three wins and three places from 10 starts for this four-year-old Whittington gelding trained by Adam Trinder. He faded and peaked on his run for 6.3 lengths 7th over 1220m at Launceston, then got pipped on the post for 0.1 length 2nd over 1150m at Devonport on 3 December. He has very good form on this synthetic track and looks the leading chance.

Each Way
Sir Simon (Devonport Race 7 No. 5):
This eight-year-old Tickets gelding trained by Scott Brunton has nine wins and five places from 22 starts. He was an easy 2.3 length winner over 1400m at Launceston on 3 November, then chased solidly the entire straight for 1.7 lengths 6th in the Listed Kilmore Cup over 1600m on 21 November. Has won two from three this campaign and looks a good each-way bet.

Best Lay
Vallabar (Devonport Race 8 No. 2):
This six-year-old gelding is the early favourite in this BM 68 handicap over 1880m. He finished 2.4 lengths 3rd when favourite over 1400m at Hobart on 14 November, then was outsprinted for 2.1 lengths 5th over 1650m at Devonport on 3 December. He hasn’t won beyond 1600m and I’m prepared to risk him here.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 3rd May 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is off the back of a strong second placing and looks hard to hold out launching from the good draw. Best Bet Red Red Wine (Echuca Race 8 No. 5) He has been hard to catch lately but was keen on him earlier this prep when he was smashed in the market and ran on well in a higher grade than this. Gets his chance in this field and should relish the drop in
Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The feature is the Group 3 WA Sires' Produce Stakes (race 7). The track is rated Soft and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Profit Pocket (Ascot Race 2 No. 3) She’s won all 3 starts this campaign at Esperance, Ascot and Pinjarra At her last 2 wins she’s raced outside the leader before taking over for dominant wins. Think she can do it again. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 8 metres. The track played well last time. Suspect with the rail out that far it may suit those on speed. The best bet looks double the price it should be. Best Bet Cadmus (Caulfield Heath Race 3 No. 1) Hard to beat. Brilliant return up a few grades than this and looks superbly treated in this with the drop in grade. Smart move with the claim and is 1/1 over this trip. Check odds on
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Friday 3rd May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is in true position for the 10 race meeting. Best Bet Flying D'amore (Kilcoy Race 4 No. 5) Filly from the Annabel Neasham stable who resumed for 5th over 1200m at Doomben on 17th April. Will find this easier and looks the leading chance.
