Our Balaklava Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Turn Table (Balaklava Race 1 No. 4)
This four-year-old Rebel Raider gelding trained by Jake Stephens at Victor Harbour resumes here. He debuted with 0.4 length 3rd over 1516m at Gawler on 19 August on a heavy track, then over-raced early and worked home where the tempo didn’t suit for a length 4th over 1500m at Gawler on 2 September. He has been spelled for 34 weeks and is the top pick in this maiden plate.

Each Way
Dawn Salute (Balaklava Race 7 No. 3):
This four-year-old Hussonet gelding has two wins and three places from 13 starts. He resumed from a 20 week spell for 5.5 lengths 4th over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 19 February where he never looked likely, then he ran three wide with no cover before tiring in the final 200m to finish 8.1 lengths 13th over 1200m at Murray Bridge on 27 February. He has had an eight week let-up and with barrier 1 and Kayla Crowther loks a good each way chance over the 1050m distance.

Best Lay
Koruto (Balaklava Race 6 No. 2):
This three-year-old Written Tycoon gelding is the early favourite in this 0-58 handicap over 1300m. He ran 3rd three times in a row before a 1.1 length win in a maiden plate over 1100m at Strathalbyn on 24 March, then made ground late for 1.8 lengths 5th over 1100m at Strathalbyn on 18 April. Others look better placed and he offers no value.

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

Key Comments The rail is true. The 10 race card shapes up to be a good one. The best bet comes up in the third and has very good claims fresh off a break and has been trialling well. Best Bet Unusual Legacy (Rosehill Race 3 No. 9) Went in leaps and bounds last prep including not having a race to suit at Canterbury at the end of the prep and still flying to the line to win. May need the run but
