Our Flemington Horse Racing Tips for Thursday’s meeting. The feature is the Group 1 VRC Crown Oaks.
Espiona (Flemington Race 5 No. 16)
The lethal partnership of Chis Waller and James McDonald combine with Espiona in race five on the card. She justified the short quote to win very impressively on debut at Warwick Farm by 3.5 lengths. Is drawn well here and is proven on soft ground. Can go on with it.

A Very Fine Red (Flemington Race 9 No. 11):
This daughter of Deep Field has two wins and a placing from six starts. She was good over this distance behind the impressive winner of the Coolmore Stud Stakes Home Affairs two starts ago. If she reproduces something close to that effort she will be in this for a long way.
$8.50
Best Lay
Elusive Express (Flemington Race 8 No. 1):
Elusive Express is the current $3.80 favourite in the Group 1 VRC Crown Oaks. She ran well in the Thousand Guineas last start but I have big question marks over the form out of that race and recent history saids the best lead up to this race is a 2000m run in either the Ethereal Stakes or Wakeful Stakes.

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

Key Comments The dirt track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Crystal Vain (Carnarvon Race 4 No. 2) Had 2 good runs before falling at Narrogin last start. Has had a 4 week let-up and is drawn wide but still looks a wining chance.
