Our Gold Coast Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Jadentom (Gold Coast Race 7 No. 4)
This seven-year-old Rothesay mare trained by Lindsay Hatch at Toowoomba has 12 wins and six places from 29 starts and has won on heavy going. She was held up at the 300m and took a run between horses at the 250m then hit the front at the 100m and ran away for a 2.25 length win over 1200m at Doomben on 10 October, then was caught wide and ran on for 0.5, 0.4 lengths 3rd in a Listed fillies and mares race over 1200m at Doomben on 28 November. Resuming here after 15 weeks she has won 5 of her 7 first-up starts, has a great record at this distance, and looks the likely winner.

Each Way
I’ve Gotta Nell (Gold Coast Race 3 No. 3):
This seven-year-old Sequalo gelding has a great record at this track with four wins and three places from nine starts here. He faded in the straight for 1.65 lengths 4th over 1000m at Eagle Farm on 20 February, then led from the 800m and won by a comfortable 2.5 length margin over 1100m at Gold Coast on 6 March. He is on a short back-up of seven days and looks a great each-way bet on a track where he goes so well.

Best Lay
Ventura Ocean (Gold Coast Race 9 No. 9):
This Raven’s Pass gelding trained by Kris Lees is the early favourite in this BM 85 handicap over 1300m. He is a British import who has only had one start in Australia for a 0.2 length win over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 20 February. He has not won second-up before and has no form on heavy going. With so many unknowns he looks a risk here and other runners offer better value..

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments 8 race card on a good 4 track. The best bet is in the first and looks placed to win off the back of a sound return off a long break. Best Bet Media World (Kembla Grange Race 1 No. 3) This 2yo Colt was sound first up without much luck and looks set for better races than this. Can get the dream run from barrier 1 and break maiden in what is a handy field. Check odds on SmartB
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 3 metres and the track is heavy. Just 6 races on the small card and the best bet is in the first. Best Bet Grand Horizon (Taree Race 1 No. 3) Gets barrier 1 and this 4yo Mare boasts 2 placings on the track and looks nicely placed against this bunch. Set to peak and looks primed to get another win and should do no work from the draw. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet comes up in race 3 and only needs a pinch of luck from the barrier to be breaking maiden. Best Bet Beautiful View (Horsham Race 3 No. 1) Needs luck from out there but has been around the mark all this prep and Fry is an ideal booking. Does find the right race here and still looms at backable odds. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each
Horse Racing Tips: ACT Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000-380m mark and true for the remainder. Racing on a soft 5 track. The best bet is early on in the day. Best Bet Greaves (Canberra Race 2 No. 1) Capable of a big finish when on song. The map here looks good from barrier 4 and Owen has options. This race suits and last start rates well enough to take this out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
