Our Oakbank Racing Tips for Saturdays meeting.
Sisstar (Oakbank Race 7 No. 2)
This four-year-old Zoustar mare trained by Tony McEvoy has had 14 starts for five wins and two places. At the end of last campaign she was a 0.4 length winner of the Magic Millions 3&$YO Classic over 1100m at Ballarat and then was spelled. Resuming after 16 weeks she won by 0.5 lengths over 955m at Moonee Valley on 19 March. She looks well-placed for another win.

Each Way
Ourkhani (Oakbank Race 6 No. 5):
This five-year-old Dalakhani gelding trained by Richard and Chantelle Jolly has placed at four of his five starts this campaign. He worked home solidly for 0.1 length 2nd where the rider dropped his whip at the 100m and he was outbobbed on the line over 2500m at Murray Bridge on 27 February, then he lost his position when onto heels before battling away for 2.5 lengths 2nd over 2400m at Morphettville Parks on 20 March. He is worth an each-way bet again.

Liam’s The Boss (Oakbank Race 8 No. 10):
This four-year-old gelding is the early favourite in this Country Cup BM 72 handicap over 1900m. He finished 4.9 lengths 9th over 1600m at Kembla Grange on 2 March, then was winded late for 4.49 lengths 5th over 1900m at Gosford on 13 March. He is having his first start for a new trainer and has only won once in 15 starts. I am happy to risk him here.

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

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet comes up in the first race at a short price and is a good multi banker. Best Bet Snippety Star (Orange Race 1 No. 10) All runs to date have been solid and Snippety Star won't get a better chance to win than this. Latham does the riding and the depth here is thin. This race suits and is a good multi banker for the weekend. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker

Key Comments The rail is out from 7 metres from the 1000m post and true for the remainder. The feature races include the J B Carr Stakes (race 3), Frank Packer Plate (race 4), Hall Mark Stakes (race 5), Jra Plate (race 6), Champagne Stakes (race 7) and the All Aged Stakes (race 8). Have to wait until the last race for the best bet. Best Bet Kibou (Randwick Race 10 No. 3) Smart runner who resumes off a break, has the gun
