Our Belmont Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Irritable Rodnee (Belmont Race 5 No. 3)
This four-year-old Zoffany gelding trained by Stephen Miller has two wins and three 2nd places from nine starts. At the end of last campaign he finished 4 lengths 9th over 1400m at Ascot on 20 January, then was spelled for 24 weeks. He resumed with a 2.23 length win over 1400m at Pinjarra Park on 8 July on a heavy track. That was a tough win and he has won second-up before. Looks the likely winner.

Each Way
Diablerie (Belmont Race 7 No. 4):
This eight-year-old New Approach gelding has eight wins and 17 places from 65 starts. He ran on strongly for 0.16, 1.58 lengths 3rd over 1200m on soft going at Ascot on 12 May, then had an eight week let-up. He was slowly away and held up in traffic before making some ground in the straight for 6.12 lengths 6th over 1200m at Belmont on 10 July. Normally goes well second-up and looks worth an each-way bet here.

Best Lay
Ghobella (Belmont Race 2 No. 4):
This three-year-old Blackfriars filly is the early favourite in this Class 1 Handicap over 1700m. She got back 2nd last on the rails and weaved through the field for 0.78, 0.57 lengths 3rd over 1400m at Northam on 1 July, then raced up to hit the lead at the top of the straight and fought gamely but was swamped in the final 50m to finish 1.3 lengths 4th over 1400m on a heavy track at Belmont on 14 July. She will probably place again but with only one win from 11 starts I am prepared to risk her at this price.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments An 8 race meeting on the synthetic Poly Track where the rail is in the true position. Best Bet I Am Amazes (Gold Coast Poly Race 1 No. 7) This mare has been runner-up at her last 2 starts, both at this track. Should be ready to lose her maiden status.

Key Comments 8 race card on a good 4 track. The best bet is in the first and looks placed to win off the back of a sound return off a long break. Best Bet Media World (Kembla Grange Race 1 No. 3) This 2yo Colt was sound first up without much luck and looks set for better races than this. Can get the dream run from barrier 1 and break maiden in what is a handy field. Check odds on SmartB
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 3 metres and the track is heavy. Just 6 races on the small card and the best bet is in the first. Best Bet Grand Horizon (Taree Race 1 No. 3) Gets barrier 1 and this 4yo Mare boasts 2 placings on the track and looks nicely placed against this bunch. Set to peak and looks primed to get another win and should do no work from the draw. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet comes up in race 3 and only needs a pinch of luck from the barrier to be breaking maiden. Best Bet Beautiful View (Horsham Race 3 No. 1) Needs luck from out there but has been around the mark all this prep and Fry is an ideal booking. Does find the right race here and still looms at backable odds. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each
