Our Flemington Horse Racing Tips for Saturday’s meeting.
Kurabui (Flemington Race 5 No. 9)
Very progressive three year old trained by Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr. He is unbeaten in four trips to the races and drew away to beat La Chevalee last start who has since ran well in Sydney. He is only third up here so may have some improvement left and gets in on the minimum weight. Jamie Kah shouldn’t find too much trouble drawn out in barrier ten and I expect him to keep his unbeaten record in tact.

Each Way
Pioneer River (Flemington Race 7 No. 4):
Pioneer River – now a gelding – hit the line really strongly when second here first up behind race favourite Curran. He will derive good benefit from that run and steps to 1200m which should suit. With the inform Ben Melham hopping aboard and a 2kg weight swing he looks a solid each way play at $8 in early markets.
$8
Best Lay
Express Pass (Flemington Race 3 No. 1):
Express Pass is the early favourite in race three. He is a talented sprinter on his day and ran well at Sandown last week but I thought there were queries here dropping back to 1000m and rising in weight. He doesn’t represent any value at the current price.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Sunday 19th May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated Heavy and the rail is +8 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Slippin' Jimmy (Sunshine Coast Race 2 No. 1) Last start winner over 1200m at Kilcoy and has won at Sunshine Coast before. Has drawn the inside barrier and should be hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Merchant Flyer (Sunshine Coast Race 8 No. 5) He made ground late for a 1.3 length
Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 19th May 2024
Key Comments The track is a synthetic tapeta-based surface and weather has minimal effect on how it races. The rail remains in the true position. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with a slight advantage to those who land forward of midfield and can find a cart into the race from the wider lanes in the straight. Best Bet Weldborough (Devonport Race 9 No. 3) Won by 2.5 lengths over
Horse Racing Tips: NT Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The features are the $30,000 Tennant Creek Cup (race 6) and the $21,500 Denis Staunton Memorial Cup (race 5). The sand track is rated good and the rail in in the true position. Best Bet Merseyside (Tennant Creek Race 4 No. 2) Merseyside has been runner-up at her last 2 starts in Darwin and that form looks good enough to win this.

Key Comments The first race is at 4.47pm. The track is rated soft and the rail is +1 metre the entire circuit. Best Bet Discotheque (Toowoomba Race 6 No. 1) Finished 2nd at Beaudesert last start after hitting the lead approaching the turn and being overpowered in the final 100m. Drops back slightly in distance and gets blinkers on. Strong chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Lost My Nightie (Toowoomba Race 3
