Our Flemington Horse Racing Tips for Saturday’s meeting.
September Run (Flemington Race 6 No. 14)
September Run comes here second up off the back of a cracking first up run in the Lightning Stakes. She was beaten for speed early but charged home to run second in the fastest last 400m split of the meeting. Mounting yard watchers have indicated she had plenty of improvement to come too which only adds to her performance. She is unbeaten over 1200m at Flemington (3/3) and this is a weaker field than what she faced first up. Think only bad luck beats her on Saturday.

Each Way
Moonlight Maid (Flemington Race 7 No. 4):
Making Moonlight Maid the best each way of the day. We added her to black book following on from her first up run at Caulfield which was much better than the last place in the form guide suggests. Visually she was very strong through the line and this was backed up on the clock – she posted the fastest last 200m split of the race. The step up to 1600m suits as does the bigger track.

Best Lay
La Rocque (Flemington Race 1 No. 3):
John McArdle’s filly La Rocque has come up as a short price in race one on the card. Her debut win at Pakenham was good but I’m always cautious of Pakenham form away from Pakenham. It’s also her first time racing down the Flemington straight which is a whole new challenge, especially for a two year-old. She can win but not for me at that price.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The feature race is the Scone Cup (race 8). The rail is in the true position. The best bet looks a sure thing. Best Bet La Pleine Lune (Scone Race 5 No. 3) Absolutely romped in on debut. Concede it was in the right part of the track when the rail as hot however the race rated well, it had plenty more to give and the runner up has walked in since. Looks the good thing of all good things.
Horse Racing Tips: Happy Valley, Wednesday 15th May 2024
Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the C position for the meeting, and the skies are clear so the track should be a Good 4. The first race is at 6.40pm Hong Kong time which is 8.40pm AEST. Best Bet Turin Warrior (Happy Valley Race 7 No. 3) Last-start winner at this track and distance. He’s drawn well and Karis Teetan sticks. Strong chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The track is Good and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Lifeisbutadream (Northam Race 2 No. 3) She kept chasing and just missed last start at Ascot on a soft track when resuming. Should improve off that run and be tough to beat Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way I'm Nipote (Northam Race 3 No. 5) He placed last start at this track and trip when wide
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Thursday 16th May 2024
Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. The rail is in the true position. The best bet comes up in the second race with Gibbons to steer. Best Bet Declichy Boulevard (Gosford Race 2 No. 8) Trials have been rock solid. Found open company too slick on debut but also had excuses on the day. Comes out of the right form race, finds Gibbons to ride and looks a major player in this suitable race. Hard to beat. Check odds
