Our Flemington Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
There are two Group 1 races – the $2,000,000 Mackinnon Stakes and the $1,500,000 VRC Sprint Classic.
Right You Are (Flemington Race 4 No. 5)
This four-year-old So You Think gelding trained by Mick Price has four wins and three places from seven starts. He finished 0.4 length 2nd over 2000m at Flemington on 20 June with a big gap to 3rd, then got up in the last couple of strides for a 0.1 length win over 1600m at Flemington on 18 July. He resumes here after a 16 week spell and goes well first up. Rates highly and can win.

Each Way
Santa Ana Lane (Flemington Race 6 No. 1):
He resumed from a 20 week spell to come from last for 2.05 lengths 5th in the Group 2 Gilgai Stakes over 1200m at Flemington on 3 October, then he produced the quickest last 200m of The Everest despite finishing 3.6L from the winner. He should be at his peak at his third run from a spell and looks a great each-way chance.

Best Lay
Almania (Flemington Race 1 No. 1):
This five-year-old gelding trained by Kris Lees is the early favourite in the Grand Handicap over 2000m. He is having his first start in Australia and has not trialled. His last two starts were 6.1 lengths 4th over 2406m on 26 July, then 15.2 lengths 4th in a Group 3 race over 2413m. With six last-start winners in the race he does not look like 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

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

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:
