Our Hawkesbury Horse Racing Tips for Thursdays meeting.
The feature event is the Ladies Day Cup (race 7).
Seduction Queen (Hawkesbury Race 3 No. 1)
This four-year-old Kermadec mare trained by Richard & Michael Freedman has three wins and six places from 15 starts. She came across heels at the 300m and kept chasing for a length 3rd over 1500m a Rosehill on 6 October, then chased hard to prevail in the latter stages for a 1.5 length win over 1800m at Hawkesbury on 21 October.Has won at the track and should handle the extra distance.

Each Way
Major Murphy (Hawkesbury Race 5 No. 3):
This four-year-old Press Statement gelding trained by Andrew Macdonald at Newcastle has two wins and two places from 10 starts. He was hampered at the 350m then chased hard for 0.6 length 2nd over 1100m at Wyong with the best last 600m race sectional on 30 September, then kept battling away for 4.5 lengths 4th over 1100m at Warwick Farm on 13 October. Likely to race off the speed and looks a good each-way chance.
She chased solidly to hit the front at the 200m and kept going for a 1.3 length win over 1200m at Scone on 26 July, then led on the rails and got very tired but just lasted for a 0.3 length win over 1300m at Scone on 3 August. Likely to race on the speed and is a great each-way chance here.

Mr Burgundy (Hawkesbury Race 2 No. 3):
This three-year-old Super One gelding trained by William Freedman at Scone makes his debut here. He has had two trials at Muswellbrook where he was 2nd over 800m on 22 September, then a 6 length winner over 1000m on 6 October. Other runners have race experience and I’m prepared to risk him here.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments There are 9 races including the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (race 8). The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Angel Capital (Doomben Race 6 No. 5) Debuted for a 2.3 length win at Cranbourne where he came from last and wound up from the top of the straight to flash home down the outside. Jamie Kah sticks and he looks a lovely colt. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The main feature is the Group 3 $200,000 Belmont Sprint (race 8). The track is Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Generosity (Belmont Race 5 No. 2) She has had 2 placings this campaign where she’s made a big run from well back in the field. The extra distance will suit and she has won at Belmont before . Top pick. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way
Horse Racing Tips: SA Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments There are 9 races on the Parks circuit. The track is rated good and the rail is +3 metres from the 1000m -to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet Easy Campese (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4) Easy Campese has been runner-up at his last 3 races and is ready to win. With the 2kg claim for Alana Livesay he will only carry 52.5 kg down from 59kg last start and hopefully that will make all the difference.

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
