Our Ascot Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Blackwater Bay (Ascot Race 4 No. 3)
This four-year-old Blackfriars gelding has had four starts for a win and a place and is resuming after 26 weeks. He ran on strongly for 0.14 length 2nd over 1500m at Ascot on 15 April, then built momentun from the turn and took over at the 125m for a strong 3.11 length win in a 1600m maiden race at Ascot on 25 April. He has had two trials leading into this where he looked great and should be hard to beat.

Each Way
Time Scale (Ascot Race 5 No. 10):
This three-year-old Press Statement filly led into the straight but faded late for 3.65 lengths 7th over 1200m at Belmont on 2 September and was slow to recover. She ran wide and edged ahead at the 200m and won by 0.55 length over 1100m at Northam on 17 September. She has had a five week let-up and looks to have potential so is worth an each-way bet.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated Soft 5 and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Phence Sitter (Albany Race 4 No. 7) Resumed after 24 weeks to place at this track and trip. Should take improvement from that run and be very competitive. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Sir Bear A Lot (Albany Race 5 No. 3) Sir Bear A Lot has been in the trifecta at all 8
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 9 metres the entire way. The best bet comes up in the last race of the day and is progressive enough to go right on with things. Best Bet Hypeman (Cranbourne Race 8 No. 6) Won nicely breaking maiden and looks progressive enough to go on with things here. Can bounce to the front from barrier 1 and looks a suitable race for Ethan Brown to take out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
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
