Our Gawler Racing Tips for the weekend.
Ichibansan (Gawler Race 4 No. 4)
After winning his last three races in a row, this four-year-old gelding from the Leon Macdonald & Andrew Gluyas stable is the favourite in this BM 76 Handicap over 2106m. He got a big break ahead of the field and never looked in doubt when he won by 2.2 lengths over 1800m at Morphettville on 17 December, then he chased solidly to get there late for a 0.1 length win over 2040m at Morphettville on 17 December. Looks set to continue his winning streak.

Each Way
Fighting Mclaren (Gawler Race 7 No. 3):
This four-year-old Fighting Sun gelding trained by Ryan Balfour has three wins and two places from six starts. He resumed from an 11 week break to win by 1.1 lengths over Morphettville on 17 December, then worked home solidly from too far back for 1.5 lengths 5th over 1050m at Morphettville on 26 December. Forgive his last run. He looks a nice each-way bet.

Best Lay
Tequila Time (Gawler Race 6 No. 1):
This six-year-old Stratum gelding is the early favourite in this BM 82 handicap over 1100m. He was a length winner over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 20 November, then chased hard for 1.6 lengths 4th in the Listed Kensington Stakes over 1000m at Flemington on 11 December. Has a massive weight rise from that run and I’m prepared to risk him here.

Key Comments 2nd day of the Scone Carnival. Plenty of features including the Woodlands Stakes (race 3), Denise Joy Stakes (race 6), Ortensia Stakes (race 7), the Dark Jewel Classic (race 8) and Luskin Star Stakes (race 9). Best Bet Jedibeel (Scone Race 10 No. 8) Lovely return effort when being backed off the map and showed off a fine turn of foot. Can go right on with things here and should get a nice tow into it from barrier 7. Hard to

Key Comments There are 9 races on the Parks circuit. The track is rated good and the rail is +3 metres from the 1000m -to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet Easy Campese (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4) Easy Campese has been runner-up at his last 3 races and is ready to win. With the 2kg claim for Alana Livesay he will only carry 52.5 kg down from 59kg last start and hopefully that will make all the difference.

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down. Should land in a beautiful spot from the draw and no reason to suggest it can't win again on the way to better races. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
