Our Randwick Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Harpo Marx (Randwick Race 2 No. 1):
This five-year-old Galileo gelding trained by Bjorn Baker has five wins and six places from 22 starts. He came from last to run on strongly on the heavy track and win by 1.84 lengths over 2000m at Randwick on 10 July, then ran on from well back for 2.09 lengths 5th over 2400m at Rosehill with the best last 600m race sectional. Powers home and should win.

Each Way
Fastconi (Randwick Race 9 No. 4):
This four-year-old Nicconi gelding from the Chris Waller stable has three wins and seven places from 15 starts. He kept chasing but was no match for the winner late when 0.32 length 2nd over 1100m at Rosehill on 3 July, then ran on strongly to find the front at the 100m and raced away for a 2 length win over 1200m at Randwick on 17 July. Hasn’t finished worse than 4th in seven starts this campaign and looks a great each-way chance.

Best Lay
Bazooka (Randwick Race 5 No. 9):
This four-year-old Smart Missile gelding trained by David Payne is the early favourite in this Midway BM 72 handicap over 1800m. He only battled in the straight on the heavy track for 5.8 lengths 3rd over 1300m at Randwick on 10 July, then came from well back in the field for 2.96 lengths 2nd over 1500m at Rosehill on 24 July. Will run his usual honest race but with only one win from 20 starts I am prepared to risk him here.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Wednesday 8th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 9 metres. The track is in the good range. The best bet comes up earlier in the day and didn't have much luck last run. Best Bet Lady Di Di (Sandown Race 2 No. 6) Rock solid effort last start from this 4yo Mare who had no luck but still hit the line well behind Fasuto. That form should hold strong for this kind of race and expect it should get every chance from barrier 5. Open

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is on the first of the day and looks well placed to notch up its maiden win. Best Bet Superior Zara (Benalla Race 1 No. 8) Hard to beat resuming and the market should tell the story late. This 3yo Filly strikes the ideal race to break through and brings a strong ratings profile in comparison to the field. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker

Key Comments .The track is rated soft and the rail is +4.5 metres from the 1000m to the winning post and +3 metres for the remainder. Best Bet Missile Thunder (Townsville Race 6 No. 8) He came from last for a 1.5 length win over 950m at Cairns last outing and has won 6 of 11 races at Townsville. Proven on soft going and will be hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each

Key Comments There are 7 races on a good track where the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Xpresso (Ipswich Race 5 No. 3) Won at this track and distance first-up this campaign then put in a good run at Eagle Farm second-up where he was bumped and struck interference. Should race on the speed and be hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way All's Fair (Ipswich Race 6
