Best Bets
Our Flemington Horse Racing Tips for Saturday’s meeting.
The feature is the Group 3 Aurie’s Star Handicap (race 5).
Nicolini Vito (Flemington Race 8 No. 4)
Nicolini Vito’s performance fresh at 1200m was terrific and he looks very well placed to make it back to back wins here. The extra distance, fitness and map are all in his favour. My only query would be if the track was to reach the heavy range by jump time which at this stage looks unlikely.

Each Way
Veranskova (Flemington Race 3 No. 13):
Have always had plenty of time for this lightly raced five year old mare trained by Cindy Alderson. She was an eye catcher here first up over 1000m when rattling home to just miss Squid Game in a photo finish. Has jumped out very nicely in between runs and can settle much closer with a cleaner jump. The extra 100m in distance suits as does the booking of Mark Zahra. May just be better than these?
$4
Best Lay
King Of Sparta (Flemington Race 5 No. 3):
Was a narrow winner of the Bletchingly Stakes at Caulfield a fortnight ago. That was a solid performance but he started $7.50 in that and we are now being asked to take $2.60 in arguably a harder race which may not be run to suit. One of the chances but is not a betting proposition for me at the current quote.
$2.60

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
