Our Rockhampton Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Bustedup (Rockhampton Race 8 No. 1)
This four-year-old gelding has had three starts for one win. He made some ground for 3.7 lengths 6th over 1200m at Ipswich on 13 April, then resumed after 35 weeks for a 5.8 length win over 1100m at Mackay on 19 December. That was a good win and with Justin Stanley retaining the ride and a good barrier, he looks the one to beat.

Each Way
Belzu (Rockhampton Race 7 No. 5):
This five-year-old Bel Esprit gelding has two wins at this track and distance combination. He finished 1.5, 2 lengths 3rd over 850m at Gladstone on 3 November, then hit the lead at the 250m and kept going for a 1.5 length win over 1050m at Rockhampton on 29 December. He goes up 2 kg from that run but still looks worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Lady Lowburn (Rockhampton Race 3 No. 14):
This three-year-old Falvelon filly is the early favourite in this 3YO maiden handicap over 1200m. She tired late for 4.5 lengths 7th over 1100m at Rockhampton on 18 December, then finished 0.2 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Rockhampton on 6 January. She is on a seven-day backup but has been well found in the market.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The feature race is the Scone Cup (race 8). The rail is in the true position. The best bet looks a sure thing. Best Bet La Pleine Lune (Scone Race 5 No. 3) Absolutely romped in on debut. Concede it was in the right part of the track when the rail as hot however the race rated well, it had plenty more to give and the runner up has walked in since. Looks the good thing of all good things.
Horse Racing Tips: Happy Valley, Wednesday 15th May 2024
Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the C position for the meeting, and the skies are clear so the track should be a Good 4. The first race is at 6.40pm Hong Kong time which is 8.40pm AEST. Best Bet Turin Warrior (Happy Valley Race 7 No. 3) Last-start winner at this track and distance. He’s drawn well and Karis Teetan sticks. Strong chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The track is Good and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Lifeisbutadream (Northam Race 2 No. 3) She kept chasing and just missed last start at Ascot on a soft track when resuming. Should improve off that run and be tough to beat Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way I'm Nipote (Northam Race 3 No. 5) He placed last start at this track and trip when wide
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Thursday 16th May 2024
Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. The rail is in the true position. The best bet comes up in the second race with Gibbons to steer. Best Bet Declichy Boulevard (Gosford Race 2 No. 8) Trials have been rock solid. Found open company too slick on debut but also had excuses on the day. Comes out of the right form race, finds Gibbons to ride and looks a major player in this suitable race. Hard to beat. Check odds
