Our Canberra Racing Tips for Friday’s meeting.
If you’re heading for Canberra races today don’t forget to congratulate bookmaker Roger Norton for being recognised for his contribution to racing with a race in Sydney named after him last Saturday.
Miss Ostend (Canberra Race 7 No. 5)
This three-year-old Zoustar filly trained by Norm Gardner won once this preparation at Wagga three runs back and finished 2.1 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Gosford last start on 9 June. She gets a 2kg claim, has won here before and handles soft going. Looks ready to win again.

Each Way
Drummin (Canberra Race 6 No. 7)
Lee & Cherie Curtis train this four-year-old Robick mare who has one win and 10 places from 15 starts. She won her maiden at Canberra back in March and has placed 5 out of 6 on soft going. Perfectly drawn she looks a great each-way bet with that high place rate.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Monday 20th January 2025
Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet comes up towards the end of the day and can resume a winner after a last start flop prior to being sent to the paddock. Best Bet Baggage Handler (Albury Race 7 No. 4) Big win 2 starts back and last time out failed as a very short favourite. Trials have been rock solid since then, including a very good second on this track and looks well placed to take this
Horse Racing Tips: WA Sunday 19th January 2025
Key Comments The feature is the $100,000 Mungrup Sprint over 1300 metres (race 7). The track is rated good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Parc It In Here (Mount Barker Race 3 No. 3) Tends to settle well back in the field and runs home strongly. Won at Albany 2 starts back then was 0.7 length off the winner last start. The rise in distance should suit and he looks the testing material. Check odds on SmartB
