Our Canberra Tips for Friday’s meeting.
Best Bets
Diamond City (Canberra Race 1 No. 5)
Diamond City returns to the races and looks nicely placed in this field. Last seen running 4th in open company with Zougotcha not far off in front of it. That kind of form looks far too good for a BM60 and it trialled nicely behind Mazu the other day. Well placed.

Each Way
Essential Sky (Canberra Race 4 No. 9)
Essential Sky is the one to beat in this field. Its last run in a highway was more than a pass mark for this kind of race. Jeff Penza is 2/4 aboard and it handles the heavy conditions just fine. The $2.90 appeals.

Allgemeine (Canberra Race 7 No. 10)
Happy to take on the favourite in this race. It likes the track and trip and gets a nice weight drop but Ten Bells brings in some stronger form and there is some quality gallopers in this field. The $2.50 is short enough in this field.

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
