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.

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Geeijo (Strathalbyn Race 2 No. 7) Did a lot wrong before making late ground for 4th at Murray Bridge when fresh. Was runner-up at Gawler at his only second-up attempt and looks well-placed here.

Key Comments 7 race card with the best and next best in the final 2 races of the day. Budler has a strong book and is the jockey to follow. Best Bet Prophet Time (Queanbeyan Race 7 No. 9) Good last start win in a Class 1 and has been subject to strong market support. Should giver this race a shake and while the record at the track is a worry it is showing much more form these days. Check odds on

Key Comments The track is rated Heavy and the rail is +8 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Slippin' Jimmy (Sunshine Coast Race 2 No. 1) Last start winner over 1200m at Kilcoy and has won at Sunshine Coast before. Has drawn the inside barrier and should be hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Merchant Flyer (Sunshine Coast Race 8 No. 5) He made ground late for a 1.3 length
Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 19th 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. Best Bet Weldborough (Devonport Race 9 No. 3) Won by 2.5 lengths over
