Our Devonport Horse Racing Tips for Sunday.
Key Comments
Rail: True (Previously True)
Surface: All-Weather Turf (Synthetic)
Notes: The Devonport track races well and it should be relatively fair, but it’s worth noting that the rail hasn’t been a great place to be in recent times with wear and tear. Any notable bias will largely be tempo dependent. As this is a synthetic tapeta-based surface, weather has minimal effect on how it races.
As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with a slight advantage to those who land forward of midfield and can find a cart into the race from the wider lanes in the straight.
Jockeys to follow:

Best Bet
Espur (Devonport Race 1 No. 3)
Has always shown some ability, but lacked on race day. She looks to have come back a more seasoned mare if her trial against Group 3 horse SIRENE STRYKER is anything to go by. Gets her chance vs a lot of well exposed opposition here.
$4.40
Best Each Way
Egao (Devonport Race 5 No. 8)
Resumed well for new trainer last start in a strong Class 2 contest, finishing 4.4L off the handy TEQUILA SPIRIT. Finds a very even race here where just about any of them could win with the right steer and at the price she looks to have been missed by the market. If Catherine Van Munster can find a position in the front third of the field, this mare can run an honest race and find her way into the money.
$21.00/5.00 (backing on an 1×4 each-way basis)
Best Lay
Chicane (Devonport Race 3 No. 1)
Anchored by his last start SP, CHICANE has gone up short again. Had every possible last start to run past winner CHORIZAMA who was well exposed and not going all that well, and didn’t. Think this is harder and MIHOKO TAKEO should be favourite.

Key Comments Expecting on pace runners to be suited. The best bet is a progressive type coming off a large maiden win and can go right on with things in a suitable step up in grade. Best Bet Perfectly Good (Kilmore Race 6 No. 12) Drawn to perfection and a lot to like about the last start win when backed off the map and winning with ease. Was a real eye catcher and a good thing beaten the start prior and form lines

Key Comments A small 7 race card takes place. Expecting Andrew Mallyon to be the jockey to follow as he rides mostly favourites for the card. Expecting all runners to have their chance on this track. Best Bet Written Fame (Murwillumbah Race 6 No. 5) Written Fame is a consistent runner who is yet to miss the top 4 this prep. This 4yo Gelding is 2/3 on this track and has won fourth up in the past. The only niggle is its record

Key Comments The track is in the good range. The best bet looks very hard to beat with Andrew Gibbons aboard and has been subject to some very strong early market support. Best Bet Calga Power (Tamworth Race 2 No. 9) Strong effort on debut when running a commendable fourth and should get every hope from the solid draw in this. Maps for a tidy run, Gibbons sticks, drops in grade and looks very hard to beat as the market suggests. Check odds

Key Comments On pace runners should be suited. The track is in the good range. The best bet mixes its form but should really appreciate a decent drop in grade and can return to its winning ways. Best Bet Cyclone Harmony (Bairnsdale Race 7 No. 2) Keen on the chances of Cyclone Harmony who is the class runner of the race and capable of a strong run when things fall into place for it. Barrier 6 should ensure a good run and both
