Best Bets
Our Canterbury Park Horse Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Ibaraki (Canterbury Race 2 No. 2):
Normally I wouldn’t pick an unraced horse as a best bet, but this three-year-old Darci Brahma gelding trained by Team Hawkes has won both his trials in convincing fashion. He was a 2.8 length winner of a 3YO+ Maiden trial at Rosehill back in December, then won by almost a length in a 900m trial at Rosehill on 4 June where he didn’t look stretched. If he brings his trial form to the races he will win.

Montserrat (Canterbury Race 7 No. 2):
This four-year-old Not A Single Doubt gelding trained by Mark Newnham has three wins and eight place from 17 starts. He was no match for the winner when headed at the 220m but battled on okay for 3.35, 0.04 lengths 3rd over 1600m at Gosford on 8 May, then was headed at the 150m and battled on for 1.8 lengths 2nd over 1900m at Canterbury on 26 May. Both those runs were on soft tracks. He goes down in weight here and is a nice place chance again.

Best Lay
Acrophobic (Canterbury Race 6 No. 1):
This three-year-old Dissident gelding is the early favourite in this BM 72 handicap over 1550m. He was winded in the latter stages when 4.2 lengths 8th in the Group 3 Hawkesbury Guineas over 1400m on 1 May, then kept chasing but couldn’t get past the winner when 0.24 lengths 2nd over 1550m at Kensington on 19 May. He doesn’t offer value at the current price.

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.
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
