Valiant Elegance | (Happy Valley Race 6 No.11)

This son of Salade was fantastic last start after almost two months off, winning in tremendous fashion by 1.8 lengths. What makes the win even better was the 59kg he carried in the race and he was still able to put them away with ease, thanks to the brilliant Hewitson/Whyte combination. He steps up to Class 3 now which means he drops to 52kg and the draw isn’t the work as he should still be able to sit in the front four. He is an attractive price and well worth a chance.

Current Price: $7.50 / $2.60

Best Each Way

Casa Kingdom | (Happy Valley Race 4 No.10)

Casa Kingdom is another I like who is stepping up in grade following a nice win. The son of Dundeel was also first-up when winning his Class 5 event by 0.8 of a length after coming from the second half of the field. Karis Teetan will take the reins here as he drops to 52kg and a favourable draw might see him settle a touch closer in the run. This isn’t a very deep Class 4, and I see him as a terrific chance at each-way odds.

Current Price: $13.00/$3.80

Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 23rd March 2025

Key Comments ​The track is rated soft and the rail is +10 metres the entire circuit. 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 Al Maximus (Hobart Race 4 No. 1) Chased well to win by 0.5 length over 1880m at Devonport Synthetic
