Our Gold Coast Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Test Of War (Gold Coast Race 8 No. 7)
This five-year-old Testa Rossa gelding has had 19 starts for four wins and three places. He briefly hit the front at the top of the straight but was overpowered in the final 200m and finished 6 lengths 7th over 1350m at Cessnock on 2 June before spelling. After a 23 week spell he resumed with a 2.75 length win over 1200m at Gold Coast on 14 November, where he looked very strong. Has the speed to overcome the wide barrier and should race on the speed.

Each Way
Kateru (Gold Coast Race 5 No. 4):
This four-year-old Sepoy gelding has two wins and three places from nine starts. He ran on strongly for 2.33 lengths 2nd over 1400m at Newcastle on 20 June then settled towards the rear and only battled in the straight for 5.7 lengths 8th on a heavy track over 1500m at Rosehill on 11 July. Resumes here after 20 weeks and has placed at both previous first-up starts so is worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Kandanga Miss (Gold Coast Race 2 No. 10):
This four-year-old More Than Ready mare is the early favourite in this maiden plate over 1400m. She finished 1, 0.2 lengths 3rd over 1100m at Gold Coast on 31 October, then was 2, 1.5 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Ipswich on 18 November. She offers no value in a race with many chances.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments 8 race card on a good 4 track. The best bet is in the first and looks placed to win off the back of a sound return off a long break. Best Bet Media World (Kembla Grange Race 1 No. 3) This 2yo Colt was sound first up without much luck and looks set for better races than this. Can get the dream run from barrier 1 and break maiden in what is a handy field. Check odds on SmartB
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 3 metres and the track is heavy. Just 6 races on the small card and the best bet is in the first. Best Bet Grand Horizon (Taree Race 1 No. 3) Gets barrier 1 and this 4yo Mare boasts 2 placings on the track and looks nicely placed against this bunch. Set to peak and looks primed to get another win and should do no work from the draw. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet comes up in race 3 and only needs a pinch of luck from the barrier to be breaking maiden. Best Bet Beautiful View (Horsham Race 3 No. 1) Needs luck from out there but has been around the mark all this prep and Fry is an ideal booking. Does find the right race here and still looms at backable odds. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each
Horse Racing Tips: ACT Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000-380m mark and true for the remainder. Racing on a soft 5 track. The best bet is early on in the day. Best Bet Greaves (Canberra Race 2 No. 1) Capable of a big finish when on song. The map here looks good from barrier 4 and Owen has options. This race suits and last start rates well enough to take this out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
