Signore Fox (Gosford Race 6 No. 1)
This five year old Exceed And Excel horse trained by Peter & Paul Snowden has nine wins and three places from 32 starts.When resuming from a 20 week spell he chased hard for a 1.3 length win in the Group 3 Star Kingdom Stakes over 1200m at Rosehill on 3 April, then jumped awkwardly before looking for a run straightening and kept chasing for 1.3 lengths 5th in the Group 3 Hallmark Stakes over 1200m at Randwick on 24 April. He rates highly with Tommy Berry and should be hard to beat.

The Lord Mayor (Gosford Race 7 No. 11):
This six-year-old gelding trained by Chris Waller has seven wins and 11 places from 43 starts. He settled mid-field and just plugged away for 11.75 lengths 11th over 2400m at Caulfield on 10 April, then chased steadily for 4.75, 0.75 lengths 3rd over 2000m at Caulfield on 24 April.

Parry Sound (Gosford Race 5 No. 1):
This five-year-old Pierro gelding trained by Bjorn Baker at Warwick Farm has four wins and eight places from 20 starts and is the early favourite in this BM 78 Handicap over 2100m. On resuming from an 11 week break he settled at the rear and made some ground for 4.6 lengths 8th over 1550m at Canterbury Park on 7 April, then he chased hard with the best last 800m race sectional for 1.5, 0.1 length 3rd over 1800m at Kensington on 25 April. He has the topweight of 62.5 kg and even with a 3kg claim still carries more than any other runner. Others are better value.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down. Should land in a beautiful spot from the draw and no reason to suggest it can't win again on the way to better races. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:

Key Comments The rail is true. Racing on the synthetic. The best bet comes up in the first and just needs even luck from the barrier to be winning. Best Bet Howgoodisvegas (Canberra Race 1 No. 1) 2 wins on the trot and both of them have been convincing. Should be able to slide forward from the wide draw and make It three in a row.
