Best Bets
Our Wagga Wagga Horse Racing Tips for Thursdays meeting.
Day 1 of the Wagga Carnival.
Shenandoah (Wagga Race 5 No. 7)
This four-year-old Manhattan Rain gelding trained by Keith Dryden at Canberra has two wins and three places from 11 starts. He battled on well for 3.37 length 4th in a BM 65 handciap over 1300m at Canberra on 31 March, then looked the winner until tiring in the last 100m and finishing 0.24 length 2nd over 1600m at Canberra on 23 April. He was heavily backed on that day and I’m expecting him to be a major contender here.

Each Way
Kermatin (Wagga Race 3 No. 12):
This three-year-old Kermadec filly from Canberra has one win and one place from her five starts. She was slowly away and drifted back until battling away for 3 lengths 5th over 1200m at Canberra on 31 March, then drifted back before working into the race straightening then driving to the front at the 200m and racing away for a 2.76 length win over 1600m at Wagga on 18 April. Rates highly with Jeff Penza aboard again and is a nice each-way bet.

Best Lay
Kibosh (Wagga Race 8 No. 7):
This three-year-old So You Think filly trained by John P Thompson at Randwick has a win and three places from five starts and is the early favourite in this Class 2 handicap over 1400m. She resumed from a 20 week spell for 2.61 lengths 2nd over 1000m at Canberra on 9 April, then led on the rails and kicked away in the straight for a 0.58 length win in a maiden handicap over 1200m at Canberra on 23 April. This is a much harder race and the wide barrier is no help. Prefer others.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 27th April 2024
Key Comments The feature is the Listed Sheila Gwynne Classic for fillies & mares (race 6). The track is Good and the rail is +5 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Siren Assault (Ascot Race 1 No. 1) This filly won 2 in a row before a game 5th in the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate over 1200m here on 20th April. Provided she can handle the 7 day back-up she will be too good for this field. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is on earlier in the day and has been brilliant in its trials. Confident on its chances at what is still a back-able price. Best Bet Night People (Cranbourne Race 2 No. 4) Has been superb in trials and looks very hard to beat here fresh. Newitt steers so expecting some front running tactics and showed plenty in the tank in a most recent trial when hitting the front early. Likeable odds and expecting

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Isle Eight (Mackay Race 2 No. 1) This gelding from Rockhampton has been runner-up at his last 2 starts there. He tends to get back in his races and runs on. Looks ready to win. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Cerared (Mackay Race 3 No. 6) Cerared placed here 3 starts back, then was a

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet was very unlucky last start when flying home and can kick the day off in fashion. Best Bet Bews (Caulfield Heath Race 1 No. 3) This 4yo Gelding has a booming turn of foot but usually requires a bit of luck in its runs. Flew to the line last start and finds a similar assignment here. May need a touch of luck getting off the rails at the right time but has
