Shaquero (Randwick Race 2 No. 1)
This two-year-old colt is one of three Chris Waller runners in the Skyline Stakes and has two wins and a place from his four starts. He finished a close 2nd over 1100m at Gold Coast on 9 January, then showed plenty of fight to win the Magic Millions 2YO Classic over 1200m at Gold Coast on 16 January. He has won at Randwick before and looks perfectly placed.

La Mexicana (Randwick Race 7 No. 9):
This three-year-old I Am Invincible filly trained by Anthony Freedman has five wins and two places from seven starts and has done all her racing in Victoria. She chased hard along the inside to win by 0.5 length over 1100m at Caulfield on 26 January, then she took over at the 150m and held on for a 0.1 length win in the Group 3 Kevin Hayes Stakes over 1200m at Caulfield on 6 February. She is a lovely type and is worth an each-way wager.

Best Lay
Icebath (Randwick Race 5 No. 7):
This four-year-old Sacred Falls mare is the early favourite in the Group 2 Guy Walter Stakes over 1400m. She finished last campaign with a close 2nd in the Golden Eagle on a heavy track over 1500m at Rosehill on 31 October, then resumed for 0.4, 1.3 lengths 3rd in the Group 3 Triscay Stakes over 1200m at Randwick on 13 February. She goes well on softer tracks, but this is a race full of good mares and I think her price is too short.

Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000m-380m mark and true for the remainder. The best bet looks primed to break through. Best Bet Elba ( Cranbourne Race 2 No. 6 ) Boasts 4 placings to date, all of them in some decent company and now Elba gets its chance to breakthrough. Tackles this off a freshen up, comes up with the pole position and looks poised to give this race a red hot shake. Analyst: Bryce Parker

Key Comments The feature races are the Ascot Quality Handicap (race 8) and the Daybreak Lover (race 9). The track is Good and the rail is +1 metre the entire circuit. Best Bet Iverson (Eagle Farm Race 4 No. 10) Iverson has had 3 starts since joining the Robert Heathcote stable for 2 wins and a runner-up. He won by 2.5 lengths here last start and should go well again with a 2kg claim and good barrier. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:

Key Comments The feature is the H C Nitschke Stakes (race 8). The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Fancify (Morphettville Race 9 No. 8) Fancify resumes after 20 weeks and was won both her previous first-up starts. She’s only missed the quinella once in 7 starts and should be hard to catch. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Trumpsta (Morphettville Race 3 No. 7)
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments There's a massive 10 race meeting. The track is Soft and the rail is +0.5 metres from the 700m-300m and true for the remainder. Best Bet Unleash (Gatton Race 5 No. 6) Unleash was a winner at Toowoomba two starts back then got in all sorts of bother last start when she was slowly away, over-raced, bumped and held-up but still managed to grab 3rd. If she is ridden forward she should be hard to catch. Check odds on SmartB
