Our Randwick- Kensington Horse Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Ita (Randwick Race 4 No. 6)
This four-year-old All Too Hard mare trained by Bjorn Baker has three wins and four places from her nine starts. She took over in the last 200m and burst away for a soft 5.6 length win over 1400m at Bathurst on 23 August, then took over straightening and kept going for a 1.85 length win over 1600m at Wyong on 3 September. Is flying at the moment and will be hard to beat.

Each Way
A Very Fine Red (Randwick Race 6 No. 9):
This three-year-old Deep Field filly from the Mark Newnham stable has one win and one place from three starts. At the end of last campaign she was run down late for 0.9 length 4th in the Group 2 Percy Sykes Stakes over 1200m at Randwick on 17 April, before an 18 week spell. She resumed for 3.3 lengths 3rd on a heavy track over 1100m at Kensington on 25 August. Blinkers come off for the first time and she looks a nice each-way chance.

Best Lay
Khaalis (Randwick Race 3 No. 6):
This four-year-old Muhaarar gelding trained by Chris Waller is the early favourite in this BM 72 Handicap over 1800m. He battled away in the straight for 4.8 lengths 7th over 1550m at Kensington on 18 August, then kept chasing when clear at the 200m for 1.3 lengths 4th over 1900m at Gosford on 8 September, with the best overall race sectionals. In a very open race he doesn’t offer value.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated Soft 5 and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Phence Sitter (Albany Race 4 No. 7) Resumed after 24 weeks to place at this track and trip. Should take improvement from that run and be very competitive. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Sir Bear A Lot (Albany Race 5 No. 3) Sir Bear A Lot has been in the trifecta at all 8
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 9 metres the entire way. The best bet comes up in the last race of the day and is progressive enough to go right on with things. Best Bet Hypeman (Cranbourne Race 8 No. 6) Won nicely breaking maiden and looks progressive enough to go on with things here. Can bounce to the front from barrier 1 and looks a suitable race for Ethan Brown to take out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
Horse Racing Tips: Happy Valley, Wednesday 15th May 2024
Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the C position for the meeting, and the skies are clear so the track should be a Good 4. The first race is at 6.40pm Hong Kong time which is 8.40pm AEST. Best Bet Turin Warrior (Happy Valley Race 7 No. 3) Last-start winner at this track and distance. He’s drawn well and Karis Teetan sticks. Strong chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
