Our Strathalbyn Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Inspired Sun (Strathalbyn Race 6 No. 1)
Won at this track and distance last outing. This five-year-old Fighting Sun gelding trained by David Jolly chased strongly and hit the line hard for 0.4 length 2nd over 1200m at Strathalbyn on 30 January, then got the blinkers back on and took over at the 125m for a 0.7 length win over 1200m here on 16 February. Rates highly and can win again.

Each Way
Alphaeus (Strathalbyn Race 5 No. 4):
This five-year-old Zebedee gelding trained by Darren Magro at Gawler has one win and seven places from 18 starts. He got to a narrow lead early but was headed and boxed on solidly for 1.9 lengths 4th over 1600m at Strathalbyn on 29 December, then had a seven week let-up. He resumed for 0.1 length 2nd in a BM 58 over 1360m at Kingscote on 19 February. Has three placings from five runs this preparation and with the 2kg claim looks a nice each-way chance.

Best Lay
Conconi (Strathalbyn Race 8 No. 8):
This seven-year-old Bianconi mare is the early favourite in this Fillies and Mares BM 58 handicap over 1200m. She came from last to work home nicely late for 1.7 lengths 5th over 1200m at Murray Bridge on 26 January, then wound up from the top of the straight to storm home down the outside for 0.8 length 2nd over 1400m at Balaklava on 13 February. Returns to a shorter trip and willing to risk him

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:

Key Comments The feature is the H C Nitschke Stakes (race 8). The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Fancify (Morphettville Race 9 No. 8) Fancify resumes after 20 weeks and was won both her previous first-up starts. She’s only missed the quinella once in 7 starts and should be hard to catch. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Trumpsta (Morphettville Race 3 No. 7)
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
