Our Ipswich Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Better Get Set (Ipswich Race 2 No. 1)
This four-year-old Better Than Ready mare trained by Steven O’Dea & Matthew Hoysted has two wins and five places from 13 starts. She only battled to finish 5.3 lengths 6th in the Listed Princess Stakes over 1630m at Doomben on 24 April, then was spelled for 19 weeks. She resumed for 1.75 lengths 2nd over 1000m at Eagle Farm on 8 September. Should race on the speed and rates highly here.

Daltoro (Ipswich Race 7 No. 1):
This five-year-old Toronado gelding has had three wins and seven places from 13 starts. When resuming from a 23 week spell he was steadied off heels then finished 5.8 lengths 7th over 1007m at Taree on 27 August. Last start he fought on near the rail for 0.9 length 3rd over 1000m at Eagle Farm on 17 September. Should run fitter for two previous outings and is worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Karlstad (Ipswich Race 3 No. 8):
This four-year-old Sacred Falls gelding trained by Chris Waller is the early favourite in this BM 68 handicap over 1690m. When resuming from a 15 week break he only battled out wide for 4.1 lengths 8th over 1350m at Doomben on 1 September, then led narrowly into the straight but faded late for 2 lengths 4th over 1800m at Eagle Farm on 17 September. Others offer better value.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down. Should land in a beautiful spot from the draw and no reason to suggest it can't win again on the way to better races. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
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.

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
