Our Canberra Racing Tips for Friday’s meeting.
Molly Nails (Canberra Race 7 No. 3)
This four-year-old Tavistock mare trained by Matthew Dale resumes here after a 25 week break. She hung on for a narrow win over 1200m at Moruya on 3 January, then battled away for 1.6 lengths 4th over 1400m at Warwick Farm on 26 January where she bled and was banned for 3 months. She has excellent first-up statistics (2 wins and 2 places from 4 runs) and is good enough to win this.

Rafha’s Choice (Canberra Race 2 No. 3)
Nick Olive trains this eight-year-old I Am Invincible gelding who has been racing in Sydney. He led until the 200m and faded late to finish 4.6 lengths 4th over 1100m at Kensington on 15 June, then was never comfortable on the heavy 10 when 11 lengths 6th over 1100m at Warwick Farm on 13 July. Should race on the speed and looks a good each-way bet.

Euphrates Dream (Canberra Race 8 No. 1)
This three-year-old Pride of Dubai filly trained by Matthew Smith at Warwick Farm is the early favourite in this Class 1 Handicap over 1000m. She resumed from a spell for 2.3 lengths 6th over 1000m at Muswellbrook on 22 May, then kept chasing for 0.7 length 2nd over 1000m at Hawkesbury on 30 June. She has topweight of 59kg to carry and has drawn the widest barrier. Other runners offer better value.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments There are 9 races including the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (race 8). The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Angel Capital (Doomben Race 6 No. 5) Debuted for a 2.3 length win at Cranbourne where he came from last and wound up from the top of the straight to flash home down the outside. Jamie Kah sticks and he looks a lovely colt. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The main feature is the Group 3 $200,000 Belmont Sprint (race 8). The track is Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Generosity (Belmont Race 5 No. 2) She has had 2 placings this campaign where she’s made a big run from well back in the field. The extra distance will suit and she has won at Belmont before . Top pick. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way

Key Comments 2nd day of the Scone Carnival. Plenty of features including the Woodlands Stakes (race 3), Denise Joy Stakes (race 6), Ortensia Stakes (race 7), the Dark Jewel Classic (race 8) and Luskin Star Stakes (race 9). Best Bet Jedibeel (Scone Race 10 No. 8) Lovely return effort when being backed off the map and showed off a fine turn of foot. Can go right on with things here and should get a nice tow into it from barrier 7. Hard to

Key Comments There are 9 races on the Parks circuit. The track is rated good and the rail is +3 metres from the 1000m -to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet Easy Campese (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4) Easy Campese has been runner-up at his last 3 races and is ready to win. With the 2kg claim for Alana Livesay he will only carry 52.5 kg down from 59kg last start and hopefully that will make all the difference.
