Our Strathalbyn Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Possum Born (Strathalbyn Race 6 No. 3)
Last start this five-year-old Fast ‘n’ Famous mare looked unlucky not to have won and should be able to change that on her home track. She was taken out very wide and didn’t come on in the straight when 5.2 lengths 7th over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 13 November, then ran well and was grabbed right on the line for a close 2nd over 1200m at Gawler on 1 December. Ready to win.

Each Way
Modric (Strathalbyn Race 8 No. 7):
This five-year-old Stryker gelding trained by Ryan Balfour has one win and two places from nine starts. Resuming from a 14 week let-up he battled on evenly for 3.5 lengths 5th over 1300m at Morphettville Parks on 4 December, then was a 0.5 length winner of a maiden plate over 1200m at Strathalbyn on 15 December. Should be capable of placing here.

Best Lay
Muffla (Strathalbyn Race 2 No. 4):
This four-year-old Free Eagle gelding is the early favourite in this BM 58 handicap over 2050m. He took over at the 400m but was unable to hold off the winner at the 100m and finished 1.5 lengths 2nd over 2200m at Balaklava on 8 December, then was there until the final 150m and finished 2.9 lengths 3rd over 2150m at Oakbank on 22 December. Willing 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.
