Our Murray Bridge Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Quietly Discreet (Murray Bridge Race 3 No. 8)
This five-year-old Exceed And Excel mare trained by Dan Clarken & Oopy MacGillivray has five wins and a place from 14 starts. At the end of last campaign she led narrowly on a strong tempo before dropping right out late for 15 lengths 6th over 1200m at Morphettville Parks, then was spelled for 17 weeks. She resumed with a 1.7 length win over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 23 July and will appreciate the cut in the ground. Looks a big chance.

Each Way
Stern Idol (Murray Bridge Race 2 No. 5)
This five-year-old Raven’s Pass gelding trained by Ciaron Maher & David Eustace has four wins from 16 starts and has been going extremely well in hurdle races. He got to a big lead and bolted in for a 27 length win in a hurdle race over 3200m at Warrnambool on 3 July, then ran a similar race for a 15 length hurdle win over 3200m at Pakenham on 17 July. Going for a hat-trick and looks a great each-way chance on the flat.

Rapid Raiser (Murray Bridge Race 6 No. 4)
This seven-year-old Rebel Raider gelding is the early favourite in this BM 60 handicap over 1800m. He peeled out wide from the back half of the field and moved up to finish 2.9 lengths 3rd over 2100m at Gawler on 9 July, then took over at the 250m but was grabbed late for 0.2 length 2nd over 2000m at Mildura on 22 July. Has had three wins at this track but has never won beyond 1600m so I an prepared to risk him.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The Quokka (race 8) has $5 million prizemoney making it WA's richest race. There is also the Group 2 Karrrakatta Plate (race 7). The track is Good and the rail is +3 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Yarralea (Ascot Race 2 No. 3) Last-start winner over 1500m at Ascot and draws to do no work. Should be hard to beat.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000m-380m mark and true for the remainder. The best bet looks primed to break through. Best Bet Elba ( Cranbourne Race 2 No. 6 ) Boasts 4 placings to date, all of them in some decent company and now Elba gets its chance to breakthrough. Tackles this off a freshen up, comes up with the pole position and looks poised to give this race a red hot shake. Analyst: Bryce Parker
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The feature races are the Ascot Quality Handicap (race 8) and the Daybreak Lover (race 9). The track is Good and the rail is +1 metre the entire circuit. Best Bet Iverson (Eagle Farm Race 4 No. 10) Iverson has had 3 starts since joining the Robert Heathcote stable for 2 wins and a runner-up. He won by 2.5 lengths here last start and should go well again with a 2kg claim and good barrier. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments There's a massive 10 race meeting. The track is Soft and the rail is +0.5 metres from the 700m-300m and true for the remainder. Best Bet Unleash (Gatton Race 5 No. 6) Unleash was a winner at Toowoomba two starts back then got in all sorts of bother last start when she was slowly away, over-raced, bumped and held-up but still managed to grab 3rd. If she is ridden forward she should be hard to catch. Check odds on SmartB
