Our Belmont Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Sketta (Belmont Race 7 No. 4)
This four-year-old Thorn Dancer mare trained by Fred Kersley has two wins and a place from five starts. She kept coming gamely for 0.3 length 2nd over 1000m at Belmont on 17 July with a good final 400m sectional, then petered out for 2.6 lengths 4th over 1200m at Belmont on 31 July. Resumes from a 24 week spell and won first-up last campaign. Will take a power of beating.

Each Way
Fire Goddess (Belmont Race 4 No. 9):
Todd Harvey trains this five-year-old Playing God mare that has three wins and three places from 17 starts. When resuming from a 27 week spell she ran on strongly getting there on the line for a 0.3 length win over 1190m at Narrogin on 18 December, then she was held up from the turn to the 200m before hitting the line well for 2 lengths 5th over 1400m at Belmont. Should race on the speed and is a solid each-way chance in this Class 3 handicap.

Best Lay
American Troop (Belmont Race 2 No. 4):
This three-year-old King’s Troop gelding trained by Chris & Michael Gangemi is the early favourite in this maiden race over 1400m. At the end of last campaign he finished 4 lengths 5th over 1400m at Belmont before a 22 week spell. He resumed for 3.5 lengths 4th over 1300m at Belmont on 5 January. Should improve from last start but rate others better.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Are You Joking (Newcastle Race 6 No. 5) Unlucky last start when held up
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments There are 6 races on a Good track. The rail is in the true position. Best Bet Bungarribee Lad (Barcaldine Race 6 No. 3) Bungarribee Lad kept coming but couldn’t reel in the leader for 0.5 length 2nd over 1300m at Rockhampton last start. The extra distance should suit and he rates highly. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Jukebox Lucy (Barcaldine Race 1 No. 6) Jukebox Lucy has been runner-up
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments There are 9 races and the track is rated soft. The rail is +2.5 metres from he 600m to 275m and true for the remainder. Cutaway applies. Best Bet Merchant Flyer (Beaudesert Race 1 No. 3) Merchant Flyer only just missed last start on a heavy track at Ipswich and drops to country level. Should be fitter for 2 starts and can break his maiden here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way
Horse Racing Tips: SA Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The feature races are the Adelaide Guineas (race 6), Queen Elizabeth II Cup (race 7) and the South Australian Derby (race 8). The track is good and the rail is +2 metres from the 1200m to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet The Map (Morphettville Race 7 No. 2) She’s has had a 7 week let-up after just missing in the Adelaide Cup and comes off a trial win at Balaklava. Going really well this campaign and
