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.

Each Way
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: 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
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Sunday 19th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet is in the first and looks awfully hard to beat the short quote. The track has been favouring those on speed lately. Best Bet Coffin Dodger (Sale Race 1 No. 2) So hard to beat here off the back of 2 superb runs. The latest they put a huge gap on third and will not get a better chance to break maiden than this.

Horse Racing Tips: NT Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The features are the $30,000 Tennant Creek Cup (race 6) and the $21,500 Denis Staunton Memorial Cup (race 5). The sand track is rated good and the rail in in the true position. Best Bet Merseyside (Tennant Creek Race 4 No. 2) Merseyside has been runner-up at her last 2 starts in Darwin and that form looks good enough to win this.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The first race is at 4.47pm. The track is rated soft and the rail is +1 metre the entire circuit. Best Bet Discotheque (Toowoomba Race 6 No. 1) Finished 2nd at Beaudesert last start after hitting the lead approaching the turn and being overpowered in the final 100m. Drops back slightly in distance and gets blinkers on. Strong chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Lost My Nightie (Toowoomba Race 3
