Our Caulfield Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Plein Ciel (Caulfield Race 4 No. 2)
This eight-year-old gelding trained by Danny O’Brien has a liking for Caulfield, with 4 wins and a place from 6 starts here. He chased hard to dead-heat for a win 4 lengths ahead of the third horse over 1600m at Moonee Valley on 13 June, then was outsprinted but chased steadily nearer to the inside for 4.5 lengths 4th in the Listed Winter Championship Final over 1600m at Flemington on 4 July. He has had a six week let-up and should be hard to beat on his favourite track.

Bless Her (Caulfield Race 3 No. 6):
This Street Boss mare has won all four of her starts this campaign for a career record of 4 wins and 3 places from 8 starts. She won two races at Sale then charged to the front at the 200m and finished strongly for a length win over 1000m at Sandown Hillside on heavy going on 24 June. Last start she took the lead inside the 150m and just held on for a 0.1 length win over 1100m at Caulfield on a heavy track. She is certainly worth an each-way bet at the current price.

Propelle (Caulfield Race 2 No. 8):
This Smart Missile mare is the early favourite in this 1000m BM78 handicap. She worked home strong for 3.4 lengths 4th over 1100m at Caulfield on 25 July in the best 600m and 400m sectionals of the day, then chased hard but couldn’t get near the winner when 3.5 lengths 2nd over 100om at Moonee Valley on 1 August. This is a similar race but others look better value.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Are You Joking (Newcastle Race 6 No. 5) Unlucky last start when held up
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments There are 6 races on a Good track. The rail is in the true position. Best Bet Bungarribee Lad (Barcaldine Race 6 No. 3) Bungarribee Lad kept coming but couldn’t reel in the leader for 0.5 length 2nd over 1300m at Rockhampton last start. The extra distance should suit and he rates highly. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Jukebox Lucy (Barcaldine Race 1 No. 6) Jukebox Lucy has been runner-up
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments There are 9 races and the track is rated soft. The rail is +2.5 metres from he 600m to 275m and true for the remainder. Cutaway applies. Best Bet Merchant Flyer (Beaudesert Race 1 No. 3) Merchant Flyer only just missed last start on a heavy track at Ipswich and drops to country level. Should be fitter for 2 starts and can break his maiden here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way
Horse Racing Tips: SA Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The feature races are the Adelaide Guineas (race 6), Queen Elizabeth II Cup (race 7) and the South Australian Derby (race 8). The track is good and the rail is +2 metres from the 1200m to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet The Map (Morphettville Race 7 No. 2) She’s has had a 7 week let-up after just missing in the Adelaide Cup and comes off a trial win at Balaklava. Going really well this campaign and
