Flight Deck | (Balaklava Race 3 No. 8)
This isn’t a deep benchmark 62 and this bloke has been taking on much better horses over his last three runs. Three runs back he stepped into open class straight from his maiden win where he flew home for fourth behind the Saturday class Defining and Hopon Harry. Two runs back he went into the Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes where he was majorly outclassed before dropping back slightly to Listed grade where he ran credibly, only fourth lengths off the promising Illation. Back into benchmark 62 grade with a beautiful draw and at a mile, gee he looks well placed.
Current Price: $3.70

Lights of Broadway | (Balaklava Race 5 No.14)
We were on her last start where she was good behind Lakehurst on a soft track at Gawler. She would have improved nicely from that run and coming into this race third-up with another favourable draw is nothing but a positive. I expect her to map well once again and Teagan Vooham would have taken a good note on how to ride this girl last start and will no doubt be savouring the chance to ride her again, but this time at 1400m. Full-field but it’s a long tail, she should get her chance.
Current Price: $3.50

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.
