Our Belmont Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Conquered Zone (Belmont Race 6 No. 3)
This five-year-old Eurozone gelding trained by Grant & Alana Williams has four wins and four places from 19 starts. He was well back in the field and made some ground through the ruck for 2.56 lengths 6th over 1700m at Belmont on 23 June, then was shuffled back to las at he 600m before getting clear at the top of the stright and holdingon for a 0.4 length win over 1700m at Belmont on 14 July. Has William Pike aboard again and looks a great chance here.

Each Way
Verdandi (Belmont Race 4 No. 6):
This six-year-old Musket mare has one win and six places from 13 starts. She looked the winner at the 200m but went down late for 0.78 length 2nd over 1400m at Northam on 1 July, then weaved through a narrow gap at the 200m and grabbed 3rd over 1300m at Northam on 15 July. Has a 3 kg claim and looks a a good each-way prospect.

Best Lay
Bollinger Boy (Belmont Race 7 No. 5):
This seven-year-old Blackfriars gelding is the early favourite in this No Metro Wins Last Year Handicap over 1700m. He kept coming steadily between runners for 1.9 lengths 3rd over 1600m at Belmont on 3 July, then battled on one paced for 6.48 lengths 6th over 1700m at Belmont on 14 July. Others offer better value and I am prepared to risk him.

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
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Thursday 16th May 2024
Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. The rail is in the true position. The best bet comes up in the second race with Gibbons to steer. Best Bet Declichy Boulevard (Gosford Race 2 No. 8) Trials have been rock solid. Found open company too slick on debut but also had excuses on the day. Comes out of the right form race, finds Gibbons to ride and looks a major player in this suitable race. Hard to beat. Check odds
