Perfect Jewel (Flemington Race 8 No. 6)
This Redoubte’s Choice mare from Perth has won eight of her 25 starts. She won the Group 3 WW Cockram Stakes over 1200m at Caulfield after a nine week let-up then was 3.25 lengths 8th in the G1 Makybe Diva Stakes before a close 2nd in the G2 Stocks Stakes last start. Jockey William Pike has a strike rate of 35% for this trainer and she looks hard to beat.

Each Way
Surprise Baby (Flemington Race 7 No. 3):
This six-year-old Shocking gelding ran 5th in the Melbourne Cup last year, less than a length behind the winner. He resumed for 0.4 length 2nd in the Group 2 John F. Feehan Stakes over 1600m on 5 September where he ran on strongly out wide and is already looking for further. He is unbeaten in two second-up starts and won the Bart Cummings at this race meeting last year. He looks a top each-way bet.

Best Lay
Young Werther (Flemington Race 9 No. 14):
This Tavistock gelding is the early favourite in the Listed UCI Stakes over 1800m. He has only had one start where he ran on strongly to go clear in the last few strides to win by 1.25 lengths in a maiden plate over 1500m at Geelong on 6 September. There are group winners in this race and he does not represent value.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Monday 16th September 2024
Key Comments 7 race card takes place. The best bet comes up in the first and has been subject to plenty of market support and should take beating off the back of a strong run fresh. Best Bet Tycoon Jenny (Corowa Race 7 No. 1) She has been hard to catch lately but form has been back on track and ticks all the boxes for this. Her best is good enough, maps for a good run and is in okay at the weights
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Monday 16th September 2024
Key Comments Racing on a soft track. The best bet comes up later on in the day and should appreciate the drop in grade. It is still looming around healthy odds at time of typing. Best Bet Great Siege (Tamworth Race 6 No. 5) Well placed to be taking this out. Has to lump the weight but drops back in grade off a commendable return on the back of a freshen up. Has won on this track and looks well placed in this
Horse Racing Tips: Hong Kong Sunday 15th September 2024
Key Comments There are 10 races for the Sunday meeting. The rail in the A+3 position and there is no significant rain forecast so the track will be good. The first race is at 1 pm Hong Kong time which is 3 pm AEST. Best Bet Amazing Fun (Sha Tin Race 6 No. 1) He was a winner at his only start back in July. He’s been trialling well, Zac Purton sticks and he’s drawn the inside barrier. Hard to beat. Check odds
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Sunday 15th September 2024
Key Comments Small 7 race cars takes place with the track in the soft range. The best bet has trialled up very nicely and has been subject to strong early market support. Best Bet Pony Soprano (Coffs Harbour Race 2 No. 7) Trials have been very good including a most recent 2.5 length win and the early market support is a positive sign. This 3yo Gelding looks ready for race day and should give this a shake. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
