Our Darwin Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Shenanigan City (Darwin Race 3 No. 1)
This five-year-old Ilovethiscity gelding has two wins and three places from 11 starts. He chased solidly along the rails for 2 lengths 3rd over 1106m at Sale on 20 December, then just plugged when 8.7 lengths 7th over 1200m at Caulfield on 13 January. Resumes here after a 28 week spell and is having his first start for this trainer. Both his wins have been first up and he can win here.

Each Way
Newmatic Sands (Darwin Race 4 No. 5):
This five-year-old Written Tycoon mare has four places from her 12 starts. She dropped out a long last and did well to run on for 7.7 lengths 6th of 10 over 1100m at Darwin on 12 June, then improved to finish 2.5 lengths 2nd over 1300m at Darwin on 26 June. Looks a nice each-way chance again.

Best Lay
Tugga War (Darwin Race 1 No. 4):
This five-year-old chestnut mare trained by Gary Clarke is the early favourite in this BM 0-62 handicap over 1600m. Resuming from a 24 week spell she finished 3.8 lengths 2nd over 1100m at Darwin on 12 June, then ran on steadily for 6.1 lengths 5th over 1200m at Darwin on 26 June. Will appreciate the extra distance, but others look to have better chances.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Are You Joking (Newcastle Race 6 No. 5) Unlucky last start when held up
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments There are 6 races on a Good track. The rail is in the true position. Best Bet Bungarribee Lad (Barcaldine Race 6 No. 3) Bungarribee Lad kept coming but couldn’t reel in the leader for 0.5 length 2nd over 1300m at Rockhampton last start. The extra distance should suit and he rates highly. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Jukebox Lucy (Barcaldine Race 1 No. 6) Jukebox Lucy has been runner-up
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments There are 9 races and the track is rated soft. The rail is +2.5 metres from he 600m to 275m and true for the remainder. Cutaway applies. Best Bet Merchant Flyer (Beaudesert Race 1 No. 3) Merchant Flyer only just missed last start on a heavy track at Ipswich and drops to country level. Should be fitter for 2 starts and can break his maiden here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way
Horse Racing Tips: SA Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The feature races are the Adelaide Guineas (race 6), Queen Elizabeth II Cup (race 7) and the South Australian Derby (race 8). The track is good and the rail is +2 metres from the 1200m to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet The Map (Morphettville Race 7 No. 2) She’s has had a 7 week let-up after just missing in the Adelaide Cup and comes off a trial win at Balaklava. Going really well this campaign and
