Gloved | (Mt Gambier Race 3 No. 8)
The former Tony & Calvin McEvoy trained daughter of Exceed and Excel will have her first start for Will Clarken here, in what looks to be a pretty weak maiden. Since taking over her training, Clarken has sent her to the trials once, which was an impressive trial, second behind Queman, who won at Morphettville on the weekend. She gets the pre-race earmuffs on for the first time and the lugging-bit off, and she is drawn well for this 900m scamper. I expect her to lead and be hard to beat.

Cafe Rizu | (Mt Gambier Race 1 No.3)
Just a small field in the opener here and I thought Café Rizu would be a good chance to gain another win this preparation. The former Mick Price/Michael Kent Jnr galloper won a benchmark 60 two back in nice style before having an irregular heartbeat last start and running a distant fourth. She has since headed back to the trials for a fitness run and she finally gets up to a more suitable distance over the 2000m. Ben Price sticks which will give her 1.5kg weight relief and she should be able to sit wherever she pleases in this small field. She is the one to beat, I just hope they offer a decent price.

Nerrivik | (Mt Gambier Race 6 No. 8)
Taking on this undefeated galloper as I didn’t rate his debut run. I think he has come up well under the odds and I don’t even have him in my top four. Happy to be against it.

Eagles Forever | (Mt Gambier Race 5 No.4)
They will be looking for their third win in a row with this son of Atomic, who looked set to run at Morphettville on the weekend before being a scratched, presumably due to the wide draw. I don’t mind the slight drop back in distance as he goes up in grade here and the draw will certainly help in regard to where he can get to in the run. I see no reason why he can’t run a good race and I expect him to be right in the finish.

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.

Horse Racing Tips: NT Saturday 18th May 2024
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.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 18th May 2024
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. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Calico Kid (Carnarvon Race 3 No. 1) Resumes after 32 weeks and having his first run
