Our Doomben Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Reloaded (Doomben Race 5 No. 3)
This four-year-old Snitzel gelding trained by Chris Waller has one win and five places from 14 starts. At the end of last campaign he chased hard when clear for 2.5 lengths 6th in the Group 2 Villiers Stakes over 1600m at Randwick on 12 December. He resumed from an 11 week spell for 6 lengths 9th in the Group 3 Liverpool City Cup over 1300m at Randwick on 27 February where he was winded late on the soft track and the rider was 1 kg over. This is a huge drop in grade and he will be hard to beat.

Emma’s Jet (Doomben Race 7 No. 2):
This four-year-old Jet Spur gelding has three wins and four places from 13 starts. He settled back in the field then fought on for 1.4 lengths 8th over 1200m at Doomben on 4 February, then was headed at the 250m and fought on for 3 lengths 2nd over 1350m on soft going at Ipswich on 24 February. The blinkers come off for the first time and he looks worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Iolite (Doomben Race 8 No. 9):
This three-year-old Bel Esprit gelding has two wins from four starts and is the early favourite in this Class 2 handicap over 1110m. He began well but was headed at the 50m and faded for 1.65 lengths 4th over 1050m at Doomben on 11 December before spelling. Resuming after 11 weeks he was the early leader but faded for 2.5 lengths 5th over 1000m at Sunshine Coast on 27 February. There are other runners with better form and he offers no value.

Horse Racing Tips: ACT Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. Racing on the synthetic. The best bet comes up in the first and just needs even luck from the barrier to be winning. Best Bet Howgoodisvegas (Canberra Race 1 No. 1) 2 wins on the trot and both of them have been convincing. Should be able to slide forward from the wide draw and make It three in a row.

Horse Racing Tips: SA Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The dirt track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Sairyn Fawke and Caitlin Tootell both have some good rides. Best Bet Shalaga (Port Augusta Race 4 No. 1) Shalaga has won his last 2 races (both at this track and distance) and won the latest by 6.5 lengths. Carries 0.5 kg more than last outing and Caitlin Tootell retains the ride. Top pick. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
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
