Our Gawler Racing Tips for Saturdays meeting.
Miss Jane (Gawler Race 1 No. 4)
This seven-year-old mare has had 27 starts for six wins and eight places. She was the early leader but weakened in the final 200m to finish 3.4 lengths 5th over 1200m at Morphettville on 5 December, then she hit the front at the 200m but was beaten off for 2 lengths 4th over 1200m at Morphettville on 26 December. She is on a seven day back-up, goes well at Gawler and can win here.

Each Way
Stan The Caddy (Gawler Race 8 No. 2):
This four-year-old Rebel Raider gelding has two wins and two places from nine starts. He was well supported in the betting but didn’t come on as expected and finished 3 lengths 6th over 1600m at Balaklava on 9 December, then fought on gamely for a narrow win over 1900m at Oakbank on 23 December. Drops 1.5 kg in weight and Kayla Crowther sticks with him. Looks a good each-way chance.

Exalted Zoe (Gawler Race 7 No. 6):
This four-year-old mare is the early favourite in this BM 60 handicap over 1100m. She jumped awkwardly and battled steadily on the fence for 3.2 lengths 4th over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 25 November, then didn’t come on as expected when she started favourite and finished 6.7 lengths 6th over 1050m at Morphettville on 5 December. She hasn’t raced here before and others look to have better chances.

Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 19th May 2024
Key Comments The track is a synthetic tapeta-based surface and weather has minimal effect on how it races. The rail remains in the true position. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with a slight advantage to those who land forward of midfield and can find a cart into the race from the wider lanes in the straight. Best Bet Weldborough (Devonport Race 9 No. 3) Won by 2.5 lengths over
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Sunday 19th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet is in the first and looks awfully hard to beat the short quote. The track has been favouring those on speed lately. Best Bet Coffin Dodger (Sale Race 1 No. 2) So hard to beat here off the back of 2 superb runs. The latest they put a huge gap on third and will not get a better chance to break maiden than this.

Horse Racing Tips: NT Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The features are the $30,000 Tennant Creek Cup (race 6) and the $21,500 Denis Staunton Memorial Cup (race 5). The sand track is rated good and the rail in in the true position. Best Bet Merseyside (Tennant Creek Race 4 No. 2) Merseyside has been runner-up at her last 2 starts in Darwin and that form looks good enough to win this.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The first race is at 4.47pm. The track is rated soft and the rail is +1 metre the entire circuit. Best Bet Discotheque (Toowoomba Race 6 No. 1) Finished 2nd at Beaudesert last start after hitting the lead approaching the turn and being overpowered in the final 100m. Drops back slightly in distance and gets blinkers on. Strong chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Lost My Nightie (Toowoomba Race 3
