Our Strathalbyn Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Possum Born (Strathalbyn Race 6 No. 3)
Last start this five-year-old Fast ‘n’ Famous mare looked unlucky not to have won and should be able to change that on her home track. She was taken out very wide and didn’t come on in the straight when 5.2 lengths 7th over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 13 November, then ran well and was grabbed right on the line for a close 2nd over 1200m at Gawler on 1 December. Ready to win.

Each Way
Modric (Strathalbyn Race 8 No. 7):
This five-year-old Stryker gelding trained by Ryan Balfour has one win and two places from nine starts. Resuming from a 14 week let-up he battled on evenly for 3.5 lengths 5th over 1300m at Morphettville Parks on 4 December, then was a 0.5 length winner of a maiden plate over 1200m at Strathalbyn on 15 December. Should be capable of placing here.

Best Lay
Muffla (Strathalbyn Race 2 No. 4):
This four-year-old Free Eagle gelding is the early favourite in this BM 58 handicap over 2050m. He took over at the 400m but was unable to hold off the winner at the 100m and finished 1.5 lengths 2nd over 2200m at Balaklava on 8 December, then was there until the final 150m and finished 2.9 lengths 3rd over 2150m at Oakbank on 22 December. Willing to risk him here.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated Soft 5 and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Phence Sitter (Albany Race 4 No. 7) Resumed after 24 weeks to place at this track and trip. Should take improvement from that run and be very competitive. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Sir Bear A Lot (Albany Race 5 No. 3) Sir Bear A Lot has been in the trifecta at all 8
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 9 metres the entire way. The best bet comes up in the last race of the day and is progressive enough to go right on with things. Best Bet Hypeman (Cranbourne Race 8 No. 6) Won nicely breaking maiden and looks progressive enough to go on with things here. Can bounce to the front from barrier 1 and looks a suitable race for Ethan Brown to take out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The feature race is the Scone Cup (race 8). The rail is in the true position. The best bet looks a sure thing. Best Bet La Pleine Lune (Scone Race 5 No. 3) Absolutely romped in on debut. Concede it was in the right part of the track when the rail as hot however the race rated well, it had plenty more to give and the runner up has walked in since. Looks the good thing of all good things.
Horse Racing Tips: Happy Valley, Wednesday 15th May 2024
Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the C position for the meeting, and the skies are clear so the track should be a Good 4. The first race is at 6.40pm Hong Kong time which is 8.40pm AEST. Best Bet Turin Warrior (Happy Valley Race 7 No. 3) Last-start winner at this track and distance. He’s drawn well and Karis Teetan sticks. Strong chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
