Rising From Ashes | (Happy Valley Race 8 No.9)
After two minor placings in his last two runs, a win is on the horizon for this Shamus Award three-year-old. Two runs back he ran a slashing third behind Whiz Kid and Special M, running the quickest final 200m of the entire meeting before finishing a narrow second to Namjong Sings last time out. In that race, he laid in a touch in the straight which may have cost him the race considering he was in the top three for 600m, 400m, and 200m sectionals for the entire meeting. Joao Moreira jumps aboard and the cheekpieces are added, which are two ideal changes plus he has drawn ideally. He will be hard to hold out.
Current Price: $2.15
Best Each Way
Universal Crown | (Happy Valley Race 4 No.9)
I think we are getting a price due to the forced jockey change plus he goes up in grade, but there was plenty to like about his win last time out. He led the whole way and then some, saluting by just over two lengths in Class 5 company. Ruan Maia is a good jockey and an ideal substitution for Hewitson here, and from a nice draw, he can once again take up a forward running. Brilliant each-way bet.
Current Price: $12.00/$3.70

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The features are the Dalrello Stakes (race 6), Victory Stakes (race 8) and the Queensland Guineas (race 9). The track is soft and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Typhoon Taavi (Eagle Farm Race 3 No. 3) This mare from the Tony Gollan stable has won her last 2 races by big margins. She has heaps of natural speed and gets a 3kg claim for Tahlia Fenton who has had success on her before. Leading hope. Check
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 3rd May 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is off the back of a strong second placing and looks hard to hold out launching from the good draw. Best Bet Red Red Wine (Echuca Race 8 No. 5) He has been hard to catch lately but was keen on him earlier this prep when he was smashed in the market and ran on well in a higher grade than this. Gets his chance in this field and should relish the drop in
Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The feature is the Group 3 WA Sires' Produce Stakes (race 7). The track is rated Soft and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Profit Pocket (Ascot Race 2 No. 3) She’s won all 3 starts this campaign at Esperance, Ascot and Pinjarra At her last 2 wins she’s raced outside the leader before taking over for dominant wins. Think she can do it again. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The rail is out 8 metres. The track played well last time. Suspect with the rail out that far it may suit those on speed. The best bet looks double the price it should be. Best Bet Cadmus (Caulfield Heath Race 3 No. 1) Hard to beat. Brilliant return up a few grades than this and looks superbly treated in this with the drop in grade. Smart move with the claim and is 1/1 over this trip. Check odds on
