Our Ipswich Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
See Marie (Ipswich Race 7 No. 11)
Desleigh Forster trains this four-year-old Sebring mare who has four wins and four places from 13 starts. At the end of last campaign she was always well back and didn’t run on when 14.8 lengths 14th in the Group 2 The Roses over 2000m at Doomben on 22 May. She resumed with a 3 length win over 1400m on the Sunshine Coast Poly Track on 1 December. Her second-up record is 2 wins from 3 starts. Ridden by Jim Byrne and looks hard to beat.

Each Way
Neptune’s Choice (Ipswich Race 5 No. 3):
This five-year-old Kingman gelding trained by Boris Thornton has four wins and six places from 27 starts. He was doing his best work late when he ran on but couldn’t reel in the leaders for 0.7 length 3rd over 1800m at the Gold Coast on 30 October, then ran on from last for 3.2 lengths 3rd over 2000m at Doomben on 13 November. Has a great record at this track with two wins from three runs here, and both wins were at this distance. Looks a solid each-way bet.

Best Lay
Harlequin Field (Ipswich Race 4 No. 8):
This four-year-old Deep Field gelding trained by Matthew Dunn is the early favourite in this BM 68 Handicap over 1200m. He battled away for 0.9 length 3rd in a BM 64 Hcp over 1200m at Kembla Grange on 2 November, then fought hard for a win on nearly a length when favourite in a Class 1 over 1200m at Grafton on 19 November. This looks harder and I’m willing to risk him.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated Soft 5 and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Phence Sitter (Albany Race 4 No. 7) Resumed after 24 weeks to place at this track and trip. Should take improvement from that run and be very competitive. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Sir Bear A Lot (Albany Race 5 No. 3) Sir Bear A Lot has been in the trifecta at all 8
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 9 metres the entire way. The best bet comes up in the last race of the day and is progressive enough to go right on with things. Best Bet Hypeman (Cranbourne Race 8 No. 6) Won nicely breaking maiden and looks progressive enough to go on with things here. Can bounce to the front from barrier 1 and looks a suitable race for Ethan Brown to take out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
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
