Rattan Kingdom (Happy Valley Race 5 No.9)
Tonight is the night for this bloke as he has finally drawn a nice gate. He was very good first up when drawing barrier seven, finishing a length off Lucky Gor in second before drawing wide last start with Purton going on. They dropped back due to the poor draw and did a lot wrong in the run, but still managed to finish the race off nicely, running the quickest rated final 400m and 200m of the entire meeting whilst cracking the top five for both final 800 and 600m. They have drawn barrier four now which is ideal, Purton remains aboard and he can get into a nice position with his main danger Flaming Passion to his inside, which should be able to give him a nice cart into the race. He just needs luck and He should be winning this race.
Current Price: $2.00
Best Each Way
Lucky Diamond (Happy Valley Race 8 No.11)
Another tough way to finish the card with an 1800m race but there is next to no pace on paper, so I reckon Lucky Diamond each way is the value play of the night. He won well first up over 1800m here at the Valley before stepping up to Class 3 where he ran a respectable 1.7 length fourth to Intrepid Winner, Ensured, and Savvy Kingman, all of who he faces again tonight. He meets 2.5kg better off and Savvy Kingman 1kg better off for that loss, which had excuses as he began tardy and had to use a bit of energy to get into a nice position, which was further back than what he is used to riding. He came home well, despite copping a bump in the straight and losing a little bit of momentum. He has drawn beautifully here in barrier two and with no pace engaged, I expect him in the front two. He has recorded all four of his wins here at the Valley and three of the four wins were over this distance. Great each way bet in the last.

Key Comments The sand track is rated Good and the weather is overcast. Best Bet Altar Boy (Alice Springs Race 7 No. 3) Won 4 in a row at this track before runner-up last start.

Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. Looking for runners that will handle the conditions. The best bet has the pole position and will take beating in what is a suitable race. The feature race is the Bathurst Cup (race 7). Best Bet Phobos (Bathurst Race 2 No. 1) Maps for a dream run from the pole position with J-Vo riding. This race looks very much within reach and ran a credible fourth when resuming. Wouldn't have to improve much to
Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 15th September 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.
