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: NSW Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Are You Joking (Newcastle Race 6 No. 5) Unlucky last start when held up
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments There are 6 races on a Good track. The rail is in the true position. Best Bet Bungarribee Lad (Barcaldine Race 6 No. 3) Bungarribee Lad kept coming but couldn’t reel in the leader for 0.5 length 2nd over 1300m at Rockhampton last start. The extra distance should suit and he rates highly. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Jukebox Lucy (Barcaldine Race 1 No. 6) Jukebox Lucy has been runner-up
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments There are 9 races and the track is rated soft. The rail is +2.5 metres from he 600m to 275m and true for the remainder. Cutaway applies. Best Bet Merchant Flyer (Beaudesert Race 1 No. 3) Merchant Flyer only just missed last start on a heavy track at Ipswich and drops to country level. Should be fitter for 2 starts and can break his maiden here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way
Horse Racing Tips: SA Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The feature races are the Adelaide Guineas (race 6), Queen Elizabeth II Cup (race 7) and the South Australian Derby (race 8). The track is good and the rail is +2 metres from the 1200m to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet The Map (Morphettville Race 7 No. 2) She’s has had a 7 week let-up after just missing in the Adelaide Cup and comes off a trial win at Balaklava. Going really well this campaign and
