Our Doomben Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Platinum Euros (Doomben Race 3 No. 10)
This five-year-old Eurozone gelding trained by Natalie McCall has four wins and a place from six starts. He won by 3 lengths over 1000m at Sunshine Coast on 3 January, then won by 3 lengths over 1000m at Sunshine Coast on 12 March. Resumes from a 29 week break and has been trialling well. Can win first-up and will be hard to beat

Each Way
Irish Sequel (Doomben Race 4 No. 9):
This six -year-old Invincible Spirit gelding trained by Chris Waller has two wins and four places from 15 starts. Resuming after a 19 week spell he did his best work late when 0.6 lengths 3rd over 1400m at Eagle Farm on 4 September, then fought on for 1.5 lengths 5th over 1800m at Gold Coast on 18 September. He should get a soft run from barrier 2 and looks a good each-way chance.

Best Lay
Spaceboy (Doomben Race 8 No. 5):
This five-year-old Deep Field gelding trained by Gary Portelli is the early favourite in this Open Quality Handicap over 1050m. He was leading straightening but was run down late for 0.4 length 2nd over 1100m at Randwick on 31 July, then led early but finished 3.5 lengths 9th in the Group 3 The Heath 1100 over 1100m at Caulfield on 28 August. That was a little disappointing and I’m prepared to risk him here.

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: NSW Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet comes up in the first race at a short price and is a good multi banker. Best Bet Snippety Star (Orange Race 1 No. 10) All runs to date have been solid and Snippety Star won't get a better chance to win than this. Latham does the riding and the depth here is thin. This race suits and is a good multi banker for the weekend. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
