Our Canberra Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Californian (Canberra Race 5 No. 9)
This three-year-old Savabeel filly trained by Bjorn Baker at Warwick Farm has one wins and one place from two starts. On debut she led until the 150m where she got winded and finished 0.2, 1 length 3rd over 1400m at Kembla Grange on 2 March, then she worked her way to the front and held on for a 0.61 length win over 1600m at Orange on 21 March. She has drawn nicely in barrier 2 and has a great chance of getting back-to-back wins.

Timperley (Canberra Race 6 No. 9):
This six-year-old Rothesay gelding has only had one win but has seven places from his 17 starts. At the end of last campaign he ran 1.25, 0.1 length 3rd over 1200m at Ipswich on 17 May 2019, then he resumed after 94 weeks for 3.16, 0.69 lengths 3rd in a Class 1 Handicap over 1200m at Wyong on 9 March. He is fitter now and looks a good each-way chance again.

Best Lay
Reelclass (Canberra Race 7 No. 10):
This three-year-old filly is the early favourite in this BM 60 handicap over 1600m. She won a maiden plate by 1.22 lengths over 1400m at Gooulburn on 25 January, then was winded in the last 400m for 5.93 lengths 4th over 1400m at Goulburn on 7 February. Her opposition looks tougher here and she offers no value.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Wednesday 8th May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +11 metres for the 9 race card. Best Bet Metalart (Eagle Farm Race 9 No. 9) Unbeaten at both his starts and should be running near the front. Both runs have been on soft going and he should be hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Thesecondatportsea (Eagle Farm Race 4 No. 4) She’s won 3 of her 5 starts
Horse Racing Tips: SA Wednesday 8th May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +7 metres from the 800m to 400m and +6 for the remainder. Best Bet Chosen Miss (Gawler Race 4 No. 1) Last start she was 0.5 length 2nd at Strathalbyn and the start before was a 4 length winner at Balaklava. She’s in form and gets a 3kg claim for Tala Hutchinson. Nicely placed. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way High On
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Thursday 9th May 2024
Key Comments The track is in the heavy 10 range. The rail is in 3 metres. The best bet has heavy form and looks a big hope with Gibbons steering. Best Bet Bellascent (Wyong Race 4 No. 6) Excellent run last start almost pulling off the win at decent odds. That was on heavy ground and it got within .2 of the winner. Should get conditions to suit again here and by this time of the day being drawn wide may not be
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Thursday 9th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet had no luck last run when a $101 chance and will start much shorter this time around. Best Bet Themoonsaballoon (Pakenham Race 4 No. 5) Remarkable effort to remain standing and hit the line like it did after the horse took a poor step and the jockey wasn't far off falling off. Picked up momentum regardless and steamed to the finish to just miss out on the win. This 6yo was $101.00 that day
