Sweet Encounter (Sha Tin Race 8 No.11)
No spoils in this one. This looks like an ideal opportunity for him to atone for his last start second over the 1400m here at Sha Tin. There were a lot of errors by the pilot last start when favourite but he still managed to finish the race off well behind the eventual winner Stunning Impact. This was his first race start where he ended up behind horses and I thought he did a pretty good job for such a lightly raced horse. He is at peak fitness now, and goes up to the mile, Zac Purton is on and he has drawn barrier 5 in a race that lacks serious pace so I expect them to either lead or box seat throughout. He should get a very soft run regardless and providing he handles the mile, he is going to be mighty hard to beat, hence why he is my best bet on the card.
Current Price: $2.00

Speed Fay Fay (Sha Tin Race 6 No.10)
He has had two nice placings so far this season. First up he finished a close-up third behind Sweet Encounter and Blissful Star before having the blinkers taken off and again running a 1.9-length third over this track and distance behind Marado and Casa Legend. The blinkers go back on which is the right move, Jerry Chau gets a kilo off thanks to his claim and he has drawn ideally in barrier two. He should be near peak fitness now and looks a nice each-way bet.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Monday 13th May 2024
Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. The rail is in 3 metres from the 1000m mark to the 300m mark. The cutaway applies. The best bet looks a really strong chance and should be hitting the line hard. Best Bet Major Makeover (Muswellbrook Race 7 No. 2) Superb hitting the line hard behind a smart one last start and jumps up in trip which he is 1/1 over. Looks very good placement here by connections and should be suited to

Key Comments The track usually favours those on speed. Having a strong run with best bets lately and looking to keep the momentum going. The best bet is short but has been nothing short of brilliant at its trials and Damian Lane riding race day is a big push. Best Bet Ten Deep (Mornington Race 3 No. 11) Trials have been superb. Comes across from Ireland and finds Damian Lane to ride on debut so that is a decent push in its self.

Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 900m-600m mark and true for the remainder. The best bet looks well placed to bounce back with a drop in grade and the leading country rider aboard. Best Bet D'oro Choice (Mudgee Race 2 No. 2) Good run 2 starts back 2nd in this grade behind a handy one. Always ideal to have Bullock booked in these kinds of races and he can overcome the wide draw and top weight. Drops back in

Key Comments An 8 race meeting on the synthetic Poly Track where the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Tavistorm (Sunshine Coast Poly Track Race 4 No. 6) On a 7 day back-up after being runner-up here in a photo finish. He was slowly away then had the race best closing splits. Main hope.
