Our Gold Coast Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Ranch Hand (Gold Coast Race 5 No. 4)
This two-year-old Fastnet Rock colt trained by Chris Waller has raced three times for a win and a place, and his win was on soft going. He faded late for 0.4,0.2 length 3rd over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 16 January, then settled mid-field and worked home for 3.45 lengths 5th in the $2M Magic Million 2YO Classic over 1200m at Gold Coast on 16 January. He resumes after a 16 week spell and won a recent Rosehill trial. Should win.

Each Way
Grace And Harmony (Gold Coast Race 6 No. 7):
This three-year-old Sebring filly has two wins and a place from four starts. She resumed from a 15 week spell for a 1.84 length win in a maiden handicap over 1400m at Newcastle on 10 April, then won by 1.3 lengths in a BM 64 handicap over 1550m at Kensington on 25 April. She has drawn very wide but is still worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Marboosha (Gold Coast Race 7 No. 12):
This Dream Ahead filly trained by Peter & Paul Snowden has three wins and four places from eight starts and is the early favourite in the Group 3 Gold Coast Guineas over 1200m. She battled away for 2.8 lengths 4th in the Listed Darby Munro Stakes over 1200m at Rosehill on 27 March, then chased hard and nearly got there for 0.1 length 2nd in the Group 3 P J Bell Stakes over 1200m at Randwick on 10 April. Has drawn the outside barrier and is untried on heavy going so I am prepared to risk her as favourite.

Horse Racing Tips: HK Wednesday 24th April 2024
Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the C+3 position for the meeting, and there is heavy rain forecast in the lead-up so the track could deteriorate. The first race is at 6.40pm Hong Kong time which is 8.40pm AEST. Best Bet Snowalot (Happy Valley Race 6 No. 2) Snowalot was a 0.5 length winner at this track and distance last start after being taken back from a wide barrier and running on

Key Comments The rail is true for the 8 race card on Anzac Day. The best bet got too far back on career start number 2 but hit the line hard and looks to get things to suit in its upcoming run. Best Bet Wembanyama (Randwick Race 8 No. 4) Loved the way it hit the line last start when not suited coming from barrier 12 on the tight Wyong track. Drawn better in this, maps for a lovely run and has the

Key Comments The rail is true for the 8 race program on ANZAC Day. The feature races include the Anzac Day Stakes (race 5) and the Vrc St Leger (race 6). The best bet comes up in race 4 and looks to be a very promising type who can justify its odds on quote. Best Bet Liberty State (Flemington Race 4 No. 9) A lot to like about the last 2 wins this prep including a lass start 5 length romping in a

Key Comments The track is rated Soft and the rail is +3 metres from the 1550m to 500m and true for the remainder. Best Bet Dreamzel (Mount Gambier Race 1 No. 7) Dreamzel ran 2nd on debut at Ballarat and has only had 2 runs. Resumes from a 20 week break and gets a 3kg claim. Hard to beat.
