Our Eagle Farm Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Frontman (Eagle Farm Race 2 No. 8)
This two-year-old Redoubte’s Choice colt trained by Anthony Freedman has had two starts. On debut he settled 5th, got behind the leaders on the turn and chased hard closing through the line for 0.75 length 2nd behind Lightsaber over 1300m at Sandown Hillside on 3 February. At his second start he settled 3rd but was bumped and became unbalanced at the 450m then battled after that for 4.85 lengths 5th over 1400m at Sandown Hillside on 17 February. He resumes from an 11 week let-up, gets the blinkers on for the first time and looks a major chance.

Each Way
Charm Bracelet (Eagle Farm Race 1 No. 6):
This three-year-old Charm Spirit filly has two places from her three starts. She was caught wide with no cover but fought on gamely for 1.5 lengths 2nd over 1100m at Gold Coast on 3 April, then played up before the start but fought hard for 0.5 length 2nd over 1000m at Eagle Faem on 14 April. The 3kg claim will help here and she looks a nice each-way bet.

Best Lay
Designs (Eagle Farm Race 5 No. 10):
This three-year-old Vancouver filly is the early favourite in this QTIS 3YO handicap over 1845m. She over-raced 3 deep and chased hard for 0.3,0.5 length 3rd over 1400m at Pakenham Park on 1 April, then was slowly away and took no part in a 3YO fillies handicap over 1600m at Caulfield on 24 April. Her breeding suggests the extra distance will be no problem, but her habit of being slowly away suggests others have better chances in a race with several last start winners.

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
