Our Gawler Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Betta Eddie (Gawler Race 7 No. 1)
This four-year-old Barbados gelding trained by Darren Magro has placed at his last three starts and is ready for a win. He was bumped several times in the final 200m and finished 0.9 length 2nd over 1200m at Gawler on heavy going on 22 June, then had a tough run before finishing 2 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Balaklava on 29 June. Gets a 2kg claim and looks ready to win.

King Of Avalon (Gawler Race 3 No. 3):
This four-year-old Mongolian Khan gelding trained by John Macmillan at Goolwa is coming off a win to break his maiden at Gawler on a heavy track. He made some ground from well back in the field for 2.5 lengths 4th over 1600m at Balaklava on 8 June, then got to 2nd at the 800m and went stride for stride getting the bob in on the line for a 0.1 length win over 2121m in heavy going at Gawler on 22 June. Goes well in the wet and hasn’t finished worse than 4th in his last six starts. Looks a solid each-way bet.

Halifax Road (Gawler Race 4 No. 6):
This three-year-old Fighting Sun gelding trained by Peter Hardacre is the early favourite in this BM 58 Handicap over 1700m. He resumed from a spell for 2.1 lengths 8th over 1400m at Murray Bridge on 13 June, then worked home solidly to grab 2nd over 1500m at Gawler on 9 July. He was 1.8 lengths behind the winner and other runners offer better value.

Key Comments There are 9 races including the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (race 8). The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Angel Capital (Doomben Race 6 No. 5) Debuted for a 2.3 length win at Cranbourne where he came from last and wound up from the top of the straight to flash home down the outside. Jamie Kah sticks and he looks a lovely colt. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

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.
