Our Hobart Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Campeao (Hobart Race 3 No. 2)
Very very keen to get involved here. Not often an Ex-Chris Waller horse lands in Tassie and we get one here for Julie Richards in CAMPEAO. This horse has placed in 5 of his 6 career starts across both UK and AUS and can register his first win here for Julie Richards, who has had some great success with tried horses of late including Jaja Chaboogie and goes at 21% SR. Better than $1.70 looks a spoil, in a very weak race. MOVES LIKE JAGGER can be thereabouts but just hasn’t put it together this prep and gets a negative jockey switch here. HER THOUGHTS always seems to find one better and don’t think rising to 1400m will serve her any better.
BACK Campeao for 3 units at $1.70+
Each Way
Tiesto (Hobart Race 4 No. 4):
Pretty even race here but thought TIESTO represented some value at a price. He was disappointing last start but looked to be given little hope when only beaten 1.9L in a race taken out by YARRA MASTER, who comes up fave here. TIESTO was quite good the start prior when Pires took the reigns, and he jumps back on here after riding YARRA MASTER last start. Expecting an improved performance from the gelding, who should land near the speed. YARRA MASTER and AMANCAYA have come up a touch skinny given their relative set ups for this race. FOUR LETTER WORD will be rattling home, forgiving her last start performance she’s a chance.
BACK Tiesto for 1 unit (EW) at $5.00/2.00+
Best Lay
Tarkine Eagle (Hobart Race 2 No. 2):
Pretty weak maiden here with a lot of horses with plenty of convictions. Can see why TARKINE EAGLE is fave but the price looks a bit skinny given he’s 6th up, back in trip, coming off a gut buster and gets the services of Codi Jordan who hasn’t ridden a winner in over a month, despite leading the premiership – now that I’m writing this it should turn her form around. NINA CARMELLA has gone unsighted at the trials but is on debut for Tony Romeo and gets Siggy Carr straight on along with a stack of early market money – all things indicate she’s ready to go. BROADWAY BABE was sold after 14 starts without a win and looks bound for a North Queensland campaign, given she gets a long way back I can’t see her winning until she lands at Rockhampton’s long straight, she’ll likely leave Tasmania as a maiden, but can be thereabouts here.

Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 5th May 2024
Key Comments The track is a synthetic tapeta-based surface and weather has minimal effect on how it races. The rail remains in the true position. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with a slight advantage to those who land forward of midfield and can find a cart into the race from the wider lanes in the straight.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Sunday 5th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet is in the first and was explosive on debut. Expecting all to have their chance on this track that usually plays fair. Best Bet What A Cross (Sale Race 1 No. 10) Big finale on debut and looms at likeable odds here. Was smacked in betting then and almost pulled off the plunge when flying to the line. Looks a huge chance here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
