Gloved | (Mt Gambier Race 3 No. 8)
The former Tony & Calvin McEvoy trained daughter of Exceed and Excel will have her first start for Will Clarken here, in what looks to be a pretty weak maiden. Since taking over her training, Clarken has sent her to the trials once, which was an impressive trial, second behind Queman, who won at Morphettville on the weekend. She gets the pre-race earmuffs on for the first time and the lugging-bit off, and she is drawn well for this 900m scamper. I expect her to lead and be hard to beat.

Cafe Rizu | (Mt Gambier Race 1 No.3)
Just a small field in the opener here and I thought Café Rizu would be a good chance to gain another win this preparation. The former Mick Price/Michael Kent Jnr galloper won a benchmark 60 two back in nice style before having an irregular heartbeat last start and running a distant fourth. She has since headed back to the trials for a fitness run and she finally gets up to a more suitable distance over the 2000m. Ben Price sticks which will give her 1.5kg weight relief and she should be able to sit wherever she pleases in this small field. She is the one to beat, I just hope they offer a decent price.

Nerrivik | (Mt Gambier Race 6 No. 8)
Taking on this undefeated galloper as I didn’t rate his debut run. I think he has come up well under the odds and I don’t even have him in my top four. Happy to be against it.

Eagles Forever | (Mt Gambier Race 5 No.4)
They will be looking for their third win in a row with this son of Atomic, who looked set to run at Morphettville on the weekend before being a scratched, presumably due to the wide draw. I don’t mind the slight drop back in distance as he goes up in grade here and the draw will certainly help in regard to where he can get to in the run. I see no reason why he can’t run a good race and I expect him to be right in the finish.

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
Horse Racing Tips: Happy Valley, Wednesday 8th May 2024
Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the B position for the meeting, and the rain is forecast to stop before racing starts so the track should be an improving Soft 5. The first race is at 6.40pm Hong Kong time which is 8.40pm AEST. Best Bet Super Joy N Fun (Happy Valley Race 9 No. 8) Resumes after 10 weeks and has won both of his starts. He came 2nd at a
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
