Our Canberra Racing Tips for Sundays Black Opal meeting.
Remarque (Canberra Race 7 No. 2)
This two-year-old Snitzel colt trained by team Hawkes has raced once for an impressive win. He started favourite on debut because he had won both lead-up trials in good style and he duly saluted with a 2 length win over 1100m at Rosehill on 16 January. He has had a seven week let-up with a trial to keep him sharp. He has drawn well in barrier 2 and looks ready to win the 2021 Black Opal Stakes.

Gem Dealer (Canberra Race 1 No. 6):
This five-year-old Dundeel mare has had four wins and three places from 21 starts. She resumed from a 12 week spell for a 4 length win on a heavy track over 1300m at Canberra on 7 August, then led early but faded for 2.6 lengths 7th over 1400m at Kembla Grange on 29 August. Resuming from a spell of 27 weeks she has won two of five first-up attempts and that combined with a trial placing on 19 February gives confidence to back her each-way on her home track.

Underground Music (Canberra Race 3 No. 10):
This four-year-old Your Song mare is the early favourite in this BM 65 handicap over 1400m. She resumed from a long spell for 1.17 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Canberra on 5 February, then battled hard for a 0.13 length win over 1300m in a Class 1 at Canberra on 19 February. The opposition is much tougher in this field and I am happy to risk her.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 27th April 2024
Key Comments The feature is the Listed Sheila Gwynne Classic for fillies & mares (race 6). The track is Good and the rail is +5 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Siren Assault (Ascot Race 1 No. 1) This filly won 2 in a row before a game 5th in the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate over 1200m here on 20th April. Provided she can handle the 7 day back-up she will be too good for this field. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Friday 26th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. The best bet is halfway through the day and surprised about the odds on offer for it still. Needs to lug weight but is a huge hope against this field. Best Bet Arctic Legend (Tamworth Race 5 No. 2) Steps up in grade but was nothing short of brilliant when resuming from a long break. Suited to this field. Should be able to go right on with things here and
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 26th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is on earlier in the day and has been brilliant in its trials. Confident on its chances at what is still a back-able price. Best Bet Night People (Cranbourne Race 2 No. 4) Has been superb in trials and looks very hard to beat here fresh. Newitt steers so expecting some front running tactics and showed plenty in the tank in a most recent trial when hitting the front early. Likeable odds and expecting

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Isle Eight (Mackay Race 2 No. 1) This gelding from Rockhampton has been runner-up at his last 2 starts there. He tends to get back in his races and runs on. Looks ready to win. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Cerared (Mackay Race 3 No. 6) Cerared placed here 3 starts back, then was a
