Our Naracoorte Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Monteferrante (Naracoorte Race 6 No. 5)
This five-year-old Pierro mare trained by Tony McEvoy has had 22 starts for two wins and 10 places and has been racing at metropolitan tracks. She settled well back and battled on steadily for 5.9 lengths 6th over 2400m at Sandown Hillside on 24 February, then came from well back to look the likely winner at the 100m before being caught and finishing 0.5 length 2nd over 1950m at Morphettville Parks on 20 March. Looks very well placed here.

Each Way
Turf Tapper (Naracoorte Race 4 No. 6):
This seven-year-old Dream Ahead gelding has six wins and 10 places from 43 starts, and came 2nd at his only previous run at this track. He was taken out wide and didn’t come on in the straight when 4.2 lengths 8th over 1200m at Gawler on 2 January before a 12 week spell, then resumed for 2.4 lengths 4th over 1100m at Oakbank on 31 March. Generally goes well second-up and looks a nice each-way chance.

Best Lay
Stryke In Style (Naracoorte Race 5 No. 4):
This five-year-old Stryker gelding is the early favourite in this benchmark 64 handicap over 1430m. He resumed from a 14 week spell for 0.2, 0.9 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Morphettville on 8 March, then was fighting hard but pulled-up lame when 3.1 lengths 6th over 1400m at Oakbank on 28 March. His third-up record is poor and I’m willing to risk him here.

Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Ocean Alps (Beaudesert Race 6 No. 1) Won 3 in a row before 4th at Eagle Farm on Saturday. On a 2 day back-up but with the 2kg claim for Corey Sutherland this looks a winnable race. Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Platinum Gift (Beaudesert Race 4 No. 6) Led all the way to win

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet comes up in the last. Best Bet Dune And Dusted (Grafton Race 9 No. 2) Put the writing on the wall last time out running a game second. Strikes a suitable affair here and takes off weight thanks to the claim. Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Cosmic Fortune (Grafton Race 6 No. 9) The drift is concerning but form is
