Best Bets
Our Flemington Horse Racing Tips for Saturday’s meeting.
The feature is the Group 3 Aurie’s Star Handicap (race 5).
Nicolini Vito (Flemington Race 8 No. 4)
Nicolini Vito’s performance fresh at 1200m was terrific and he looks very well placed to make it back to back wins here. The extra distance, fitness and map are all in his favour. My only query would be if the track was to reach the heavy range by jump time which at this stage looks unlikely.

Each Way
Veranskova (Flemington Race 3 No. 13):
Have always had plenty of time for this lightly raced five year old mare trained by Cindy Alderson. She was an eye catcher here first up over 1000m when rattling home to just miss Squid Game in a photo finish. Has jumped out very nicely in between runs and can settle much closer with a cleaner jump. The extra 100m in distance suits as does the booking of Mark Zahra. May just be better than these?

Best Lay
King Of Sparta (Flemington Race 5 No. 3):
Was a narrow winner of the Bletchingly Stakes at Caulfield a fortnight ago. That was a solid performance but he started $7.50 in that and we are now being asked to take $2.60 in arguably a harder race which may not be run to suit. One of the chances but is not a betting proposition for me at the current quote.
$2.60

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Monday 29th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet flies on this track and is weighted superbly. Best Bet Steely Girl (Goulburn Race 6 No. 8) Flies here with 6 placings ( and 3 wins ) from 10 attempts. Superbly weighted after the claim and comes into this with a big chance. Slightly awkward draw but will be very hard to beat with even luck. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Steely Girl (Goulburn Race 6 No. 8) Good win last start breaking maiden and may well be able to go on with things here. Maps well, looks a backable price and this race is the next logical step.

Horse Racing Tips: Sha Tin, Sunday 28th April 2024
Key Comments There is a 10-race program with three Group 1 races - the Group 1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1200m), Group 1 Champions Mile (1600m) and Group 1 QEII Cup (2000m) . The rail is in the A position. There is rain forecast but the track should get no worse than Soft. The first race is at 12.45 pm Hong Kong time which is 2.45 pm AEST. Best Bet Golden Sixty (Sha Tin Race 7 No. 1) He’s a special horse with 26
Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 28th April 2024
Key Comments The track is Soft and the rail is +4 metres the entire circuit. 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. Best Bet Sky Land (Hobart Race 1 No. 10) This 2YO filly takes on the older horses here but has been very game
Horse Racing Tips: SA Sunday 28th April 2024
Key Comments There are 7 races on a Good track where the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Lord Valen (Strathalbyn Race 2 No. 3) He’s been runner-up at both starts this campaign, at Murray Bridge then Balaklava. He gets his chance to lose his maiden status here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Tennessee Maggie (Strathalbyn Race 4 No. 12) Tennessee Magic was runner-up at Gawler last start and should
