Our Canberra ACT Racing Tips for Sunday’s meeting.
The feature races are the National Sprint (race 7) and the Black Opal Stakes (race 8).
Best Bet
Kimura (Canberra Race 5 No. 7)
This three-year-old filly resumes here after a 19 week spell. She won a maiden handicap over 13000m at Newcastle on 15 October, then was a narrow winner over 1400m at Newcastle on 29 October. Has had 2 trials and looks well-placed here.

Each Way
Shores Of Avalon (Canberra Race 6 No. 6)
This 6YO mare has been very consistent this campaign and has placed at her last 3 starts. She finished 2nd in the Wagga Scamper over 1000m at Wagga on 26 January, then ran 1.2 lengths 3rd in the National Sprint Preview over 1200m at Canberra on 24 February when she was mowed down late. Back to 1000m suits and she looks a nice each-way bet.
$5.50
Best Lay
Jumeirah Beach (Race 4 No. 2)
This 4YO is the early favourite in this BM 65 Handicap over 1400m. He won 2 races in a row at the end of last year at Muswellbrook and Mudgee. He resumed from a 9 week break for 4.3 lengths 11th over 1280m at Muswellbrook where he was eased down late. He is drawn wide, up in weight and looks too short a price in this field.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Monday 20th January 2025
Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet comes up towards the end of the day and can resume a winner after a last start flop prior to being sent to the paddock. Best Bet Baggage Handler (Albury Race 7 No. 4) Big win 2 starts back and last time out failed as a very short favourite. Trials have been rock solid since then, including a very good second on this track and looks well placed to take this
Horse Racing Tips: WA Sunday 19th January 2025
Key Comments The feature is the $100,000 Mungrup Sprint over 1300 metres (race 7). The track is rated good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Parc It In Here (Mount Barker Race 3 No. 3) Tends to settle well back in the field and runs home strongly. Won at Albany 2 starts back then was 0.7 length off the winner last start. The rise in distance should suit and he looks the testing material. Check odds on SmartB
