Our Wagga Wagga Horse Racing Tips for Fridays meeting.
Day 2 of the Wagga Carnival. Race 7 is the Wagga Cup.
Splendiferous (Wagga Race 4 No.5)
This three-year-old Pride Of Dubai trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott has two wins from six starts. She resumed from a 26 week spell with a 1.91 length win in a maiden handicap over 1200m at Newcastle on 30 March where she ran the best overall race sectionals, then she kept chasing to prevail in the latter stages for a length win in a F&M BM 64 handicap over 1400m at Newcastle on 22 April. She is going for a hat-trick here and looks the likely winner.

Each Way
Island Bay Boy (Wagga Race 6 No. 5):
This three-year-old All Too Hard gelding trained by Tony Sergi at Queanbeyan has three win and one place from five starts. He came off heels soon after straightening and knuckled down in the last 100m to win by 1.09 length over 1300m at Canberra on 31 March, then looked beaten when headed at the 200m but dug deep and rallied in the final stages fighting back for a narrow win in the Guineas Prelude over 1400m at Wagga on 18 April. Drops 3 kg from that run and looks a nice each-way chance in the Wagga Guineas.

Loving Cilla (Wagga Race 3 No. 11):
This four-year-old Reliable Man mare trained by Joseph Ible at Canberra has a win and a place from three starts and is the early favourite in this BM 58 handicap over 1300m. She won the Showcase Country maiden plate by a length over 1400m at Nowra on 6 December, then never really got clear when 4.2 lengths 8th in a Highway Class 2 handicap over 1300m at Randwick on 19 December. Resuming from a 19 week break this is quite a tough race and I’m prepared to risk her.

Key Comments There are 9 races on a Good track. The rail is +2 metres from the 600m to the 300m and true for the remainder. Best Bet Time To Launch (Dalby Race 4 No. 4) This mare has placed at all 4 starts this preparation. She’s drawn ideally and should be able to lose her maiden status.

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
Horse Racing Tips: ACT Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000-380m mark and true for the remainder. Racing on a soft 5 track. The best bet is early on in the day. Best Bet Greaves (Canberra Race 2 No. 1) Capable of a big finish when on song. The map here looks good from barrier 4 and Owen has options. This race suits and last start rates well enough to take this out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
