Our Balaklava Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Kalamon (Balaklava Race 7 No. 2)
This four-year-old Husson gelding has had 22 starts for four wins and four places and three of those wins were at this track and distance. He jumped awkwardly and drifted back before finishing 2.8 lengths 5th over 1540m at Morphettville on 20 February, then hit the lead at the 200m and kept going strongly for a 1.5 length win over 1600m at Balaklava on 28 February. This looks no stronger than last start and he can win again.

Each Way
Trivago Girl (Balaklava Race 5 No. 6):
This four-year-old Stryker mare has two wins and one place from 12 starts. She worked home solidly for 1.2 lengths 2nd over 1360m at Kingscote on 18 February, then took over at the 100m and held off a late challenge for a 0.7 length win over 1360m at Kingscote on 20 February. She is going well at the moment and is worth an each-way wager.

Our Benevento (Balaklava Race 6 No. 4):
This six-year-old Helmet mare is the early favourite in this BM 54 handicap over 1200m. She was well-supported in the betting when 4.5 lengths 5th over 1200m at Naracoorte on 27 December, then she was sent out as favourite and led on the rails before being overpowered in the final 100m and finishing 1.7 lengths 4th over 1050m at Balaklava on 28 February. She hasn’t won over this distance in 15 attempts and I don’t expect that to change here.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 27th April 2024
Key Comments The feature is the Listed Sheila Gwynne Classic for fillies & mares (race 6). The track is Good and the rail is +5 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Siren Assault (Ascot Race 1 No. 1) This filly won 2 in a row before a game 5th in the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate over 1200m here on 20th April. Provided she can handle the 7 day back-up she will be too good for this field. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Friday 26th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. The best bet is halfway through the day and surprised about the odds on offer for it still. Needs to lug weight but is a huge hope against this field. Best Bet Arctic Legend (Tamworth Race 5 No. 2) Steps up in grade but was nothing short of brilliant when resuming from a long break. Suited to this field. Should be able to go right on with things here and
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 26th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is on earlier in the day and has been brilliant in its trials. Confident on its chances at what is still a back-able price. Best Bet Night People (Cranbourne Race 2 No. 4) Has been superb in trials and looks very hard to beat here fresh. Newitt steers so expecting some front running tactics and showed plenty in the tank in a most recent trial when hitting the front early. Likeable odds and expecting

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Isle Eight (Mackay Race 2 No. 1) This gelding from Rockhampton has been runner-up at his last 2 starts there. He tends to get back in his races and runs on. Looks ready to win. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Cerared (Mackay Race 3 No. 6) Cerared placed here 3 starts back, then was a
