Our Canberra Racing Tips for Friday’s meeting.
Molly Nails (Canberra Race 7 No. 3)
This four-year-old Tavistock mare trained by Matthew Dale resumes here after a 25 week break. She hung on for a narrow win over 1200m at Moruya on 3 January, then battled away for 1.6 lengths 4th over 1400m at Warwick Farm on 26 January where she bled and was banned for 3 months. She has excellent first-up statistics (2 wins and 2 places from 4 runs) and is good enough to win this.

Rafha’s Choice (Canberra Race 2 No. 3)
Nick Olive trains this eight-year-old I Am Invincible gelding who has been racing in Sydney. He led until the 200m and faded late to finish 4.6 lengths 4th over 1100m at Kensington on 15 June, then was never comfortable on the heavy 10 when 11 lengths 6th over 1100m at Warwick Farm on 13 July. Should race on the speed and looks a good each-way bet.

Euphrates Dream (Canberra Race 8 No. 1)
This three-year-old Pride of Dubai filly trained by Matthew Smith at Warwick Farm is the early favourite in this Class 1 Handicap over 1000m. She resumed from a spell for 2.3 lengths 6th over 1000m at Muswellbrook on 22 May, then kept chasing for 0.7 length 2nd over 1000m at Hawkesbury on 30 June. She has topweight of 59kg to carry and has drawn the widest barrier. Other runners offer better value.

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.

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
