Flight Deck | (Balaklava Race 3 No. 8)
This isn’t a deep benchmark 62 and this bloke has been taking on much better horses over his last three runs. Three runs back he stepped into open class straight from his maiden win where he flew home for fourth behind the Saturday class Defining and Hopon Harry. Two runs back he went into the Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes where he was majorly outclassed before dropping back slightly to Listed grade where he ran credibly, only fourth lengths off the promising Illation. Back into benchmark 62 grade with a beautiful draw and at a mile, gee he looks well placed.
Current Price: $3.70

Lights of Broadway | (Balaklava Race 5 No.14)
We were on her last start where she was good behind Lakehurst on a soft track at Gawler. She would have improved nicely from that run and coming into this race third-up with another favourable draw is nothing but a positive. I expect her to map well once again and Teagan Vooham would have taken a good note on how to ride this girl last start and will no doubt be savouring the chance to ride her again, but this time at 1400m. Full-field but it’s a long tail, she should get her chance.
Current Price: $3.50

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000m-380m mark and true for the remainder. The best bet looks primed to break through. Best Bet Elba ( Cranbourne Race 2 No. 6 ) Boasts 4 placings to date, all of them in some decent company and now Elba gets its chance to breakthrough. Tackles this off a freshen up, comes up with the pole position and looks poised to give this race a red hot shake. Analyst: Bryce Parker
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The feature races are the Ascot Quality Handicap (race 8) and the Daybreak Lover (race 9). The track is Good and the rail is +1 metre the entire circuit. Best Bet Iverson (Eagle Farm Race 4 No. 10) Iverson has had 3 starts since joining the Robert Heathcote stable for 2 wins and a runner-up. He won by 2.5 lengths here last start and should go well again with a 2kg claim and good barrier. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments There's a massive 10 race meeting. The track is Soft and the rail is +0.5 metres from the 700m-300m and true for the remainder. Best Bet Unleash (Gatton Race 5 No. 6) Unleash was a winner at Toowoomba two starts back then got in all sorts of bother last start when she was slowly away, over-raced, bumped and held-up but still managed to grab 3rd. If she is ridden forward she should be hard to catch. Check odds on SmartB
Horse Racing Tips: WA Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments The track is Soft and the rail is in the true position for the 7 race card. Best Bet Good Song (Albany Race 2 No. 2) He resumed from a 15 week spell to be runner-up over 1100m at Albany on 11th April. Should race on the speed and looks the testing material.
