Beauty Tycoon (Happy Valley Race 4 No.5)
I found this a two-horse race between this bloke and Yo Beauty. Our bloke was an impressive winner two back when he won by 1.2 lengths at Sha Tin over the 1200m in Class 4, carrying 58kg. Last start he went close again up to Class 3 with 55.5kg but finished half a length off King Land in third, in a race that had Enchanting Ibis, Midori Beauty, and the weekend’s winner in Victor The Winner, all finish within 1.3 lengths of each other. This is a much easier Class 3 and once again I am with the Purton/Size combo as Purton jumps aboard him. He trialed a fortnight ago where he ran on to win nicely so he will be ready fourth-up here. They have drawn beautifully with their main rival Yo Beauty leading them up with the 4.5kg claim and the inside draw, so I expect Zac to tag him before making the strategic move on the bend. He has better form than the rest of these and should be winning this.
Current Price: $3.00

Shining Fortune (Happy Valley Race 7 No.12)
This bloke finished second to our pick in Race 6 last time out, he looked like the winner late before being beaten close to the line. His runs prior read poorly as he ran sixth and eighth, though they had excuses from poor draws and things going wrong in the run. A couple of things give me some hope here despite the fact they have drawn the widest gate. In his latest trial which was last week, he went forward and sat on the pace, which he has done previously, so I expect them to have the plan to go forward here with the lack of pace engaged. They have the right man on in Zac Purton, he will likely assess the situation well. I love the blinkers going on for the first time with this bloke, and the stable has a positive strike rate and return when they make this sort of move. This is a risk and we should get a price to find out (I hope) providing they don’t overplay the Zac booking.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 5th October 2024
Key Comments Today’s feature is the Listed $150,000 Kalgoorlie Cup over 2300m (race 8). The track is rated good and the rail remains in the true position. William Pike and Lucy Fiore are the jockeys to follow. Best Bet Starry Heights (Kalgoorlie Race 8 No. 2) Won the Boulder Cup by 4 lengths last start and William Pike sticks. Just missed in the Coolgardie Cup the start before. Will be very hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Friday 4th October 2024
Key Comments The track is soft and the rail is +0.5 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Greylist (Rockhampton Race 3 No. 1) Greylist has only had one start and was a 0.8 length winner over 1050m at Mackay on 5th September. He drew clear late after racing greenly and should take natural improvement from that run. Winning chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Call Me Marilyn (Rockhampton Race 7 No. 5)
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 5th October 2024
Key Comments Monitor track conditions closer to the date with potential rain expected. Good odds about the best bet who will relish a drop in grade and can give a big sight over the 900. Best Bet Border Control (Newcastle Race 5 No. 1) Hasn't shown up this prep but looks suited back in grade and is 1/1 over this track and trip. Form last prep is superior to what these can produce and the odds are big to see if it can
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Friday 4th October 2024
Key Comments The track is in the good range. The best bet bobs up in the last race of the day and does find a significant drop in grade from its previous runs. Best Bet Canamble (Dubbo Race 8 No. 7) This is a decent drop in grade from last start and love the form prior when running third when well in the market in the Wellington Boot. Has the talent to overcome the wide draw and give this a shake. Check odds
