I’m Kenny | (Port Augusta Race 4 No.2)
After three consecutive second placings, this guy is ready now to finally jump back into the winner’s circle. His last start effort was good when running 2.37 lengths back in second, but he did over-race in the middle stages which didn’t help his cause. I love the wide draw for him here on the dirt track and with the other speed horses drawn to his outside, I see no reason why he can’t get to the rail. Lachlan Overall sticks with him for the fourth time this preparation and again his 3kg claim is going to come in handy. He generally races well here at Port Augusta, so we should be in for another show, hopefully, this time, it’s a victory.

Into The Fury | (Port Augusta Race 1 No.2)
This bloke is clearly the best horse in this race, he just needs the luck to show it. His latest run at Port Lincoln was very good behind Perfect Zed, going down by 0.3 of a length on the line. He had a host of gear changes on the day, and he also laid in in the straight, which did cost him a little in his run to the line, but he hit the line really well, so the step up here to 1200m is ideal. With all the speed drawn to his inside, I expect him to come across nicely into a trailing position around fourth or fifth before Ryan Hurdle makes his move on the bend.

Hard Ransom | (Port Augusta Race 6 No.1)
Despite having early pace, he has pace to his inside and outside which could cause a problem. Even though he has won here before, he was in form and in maiden grade. The first-up run has me wondering if he has come back alright. Happy to risk.

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.

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.

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

Key Comments The dirt track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Crystal Vain (Carnarvon Race 4 No. 2) Had 2 good runs before falling at Narrogin last start. Has had a 4 week let-up and is drawn wide but still looks a wining chance.
