Our Balaklava Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Covered Call (Balaklava Race 4 No. 1)
This four-year-old Adelaide gelding resumed from a spell for 4.3 lengths 5th over 1200m at Murray Bridge where he worked home late, then started favourite but was overpowered in the final 50m for 1.3 lengths 2nd over 1400m at Murray Bridge on 13 June. He is third-up, fitter and ready to break his maiden status.

Each Way
Vivaldi’s Quest (Balaklava Race 9 No. 17)
This eight-year-old Ilovethiscity gelding trained by Matthew Seyers at Murray Bridge has 10 wins from his 51 starts including two wins at this track and distance. He hit the front at the 200m and held on for a 0.3 length win over 1506m at Gawler on 11 May, then was never in it when 8 lengths 8th over 1300m at Balaklava on 8 June. Forgive his last run and he looks a nice each-way bet.

Best Lay
Lady Simone (Balaklava Race 7 No. 5)
This four-year-old All Too Hard mare is the early favourite in this Class 2 Handicap over 1200m. She started favourite and ran 0.3 length 3rd over 1100m at Gawler on 22 May, then started favourite and ran 3.4 lengths 5th over 1200m at Murray Bridge on 13 June. She has been costly for punters and has drawn wide. Willing to risk her.

Key Comments The track is Good and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Lifeisbutadream (Northam Race 2 No. 3) She kept chasing and just missed last start at Ascot on a soft track when resuming. Should improve off that run and be tough to beat Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way I'm Nipote (Northam Race 3 No. 5) He placed last start at this track and trip when wide
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Thursday 16th May 2024
Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. The rail is in the true position. The best bet comes up in the second race with Gibbons to steer. Best Bet Declichy Boulevard (Gosford Race 2 No. 8) Trials have been rock solid. Found open company too slick on debut but also had excuses on the day. Comes out of the right form race, finds Gibbons to ride and looks a major player in this suitable race. Hard to beat. Check odds
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Thursday 16th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 3 metres. This track is ideal for horses that can sustain a long run to the line. The best bet has been subject to early market support and is coming off a strong 2nd placing. Best Bet Only Old Once (Pakenham Race 2 No. 8) Solid effort on debut when running 2nd and has been heavily tried to go one better in this. Allen rides from barrier 3 and there isn't much depth to this maiden. Expecting
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Wednesday 15th May 2024
Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. The rail is in 3 metres. Expecting them to be fanning wide later on in the day. Best Bet Ningaloo Star (Randwick Race 5 No. 2) Brings in some strong highway form and has been subject to plenty of market support. Finds a kind draw and suitable race. This looks well within reach.
