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.

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.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Sunday 19th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet is in the first and looks awfully hard to beat the short quote. The track has been favouring those on speed lately. Best Bet Coffin Dodger (Sale Race 1 No. 2) So hard to beat here off the back of 2 superb runs. The latest they put a huge gap on third and will not get a better chance to break maiden than this.

Horse Racing Tips: NT Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The features are the $30,000 Tennant Creek Cup (race 6) and the $21,500 Denis Staunton Memorial Cup (race 5). The sand track is rated good and the rail in in the true position. Best Bet Merseyside (Tennant Creek Race 4 No. 2) Merseyside has been runner-up at her last 2 starts in Darwin and that form looks good enough to win this.

Key Comments The first race is at 4.47pm. The track is rated soft and the rail is +1 metre the entire circuit. Best Bet Discotheque (Toowoomba Race 6 No. 1) Finished 2nd at Beaudesert last start after hitting the lead approaching the turn and being overpowered in the final 100m. Drops back slightly in distance and gets blinkers on. Strong chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Lost My Nightie (Toowoomba Race 3

Key Comments The dirt track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Crystal Vain (Carnarvon Race 4 No. 2) Had 2 good runs before falling at Narrogin last start. Has had a 4 week let-up and is drawn wide but still looks a wining chance.
