Our Hobart Racing Tips for Sundays meeting.
The main races is the $100,000 Elwick Stakes (Race 5).
Hela (Hobart Race 6 No. 3)
This three-year-old Night Of Thunder filly trained by Scott Brunton is unbeaten in three starts. She sat outside the leader to the turn and did best in the straight for a 1.75 length win over 1200m at Launceston on 12 December, then led and out-booted then for a length win over 1400m at Launceston on 8 January. She should handle the extra distance and remain unbeaten.

Each Way
Banca Nip (Hobart Race 8 No. 3):
This six-year-old Ustinov gelding has had 16 starts for four wins and four places, and has won two of his last four starts. He kept coming for a 0.2 length win over 1650m at Devonport Tapeta Synthetic on 20 December, then peaked on his run for 2.75 lengths 2nd over 1880m at Devonport Tapeta Synthetic on 11 January. He is going well this campaign and is worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
I’m A Floozy (Hobart Race 4 No. 4):
This four-year-old Toorak Toff mare is the early favourite in this Class 1 handicap over 1100m. She worked home strongly to just miss for 0.1 length 2nd over 1009m at Devonport Tapeta Synthetic on 6 January, then was leading before being outsprinted to the line and finishing 1.25 lengths 4th over 1220m at Launceston on 16 January. With only one win from 11 starts she offers no value here.

Key Comments 2nd day of the Scone Carnival. Plenty of features including the Woodlands Stakes (race 3), Denise Joy Stakes (race 6), Ortensia Stakes (race 7), the Dark Jewel Classic (race 8) and Luskin Star Stakes (race 9). Best Bet Jedibeel (Scone Race 10 No. 8) Lovely return effort when being backed off the map and showed off a fine turn of foot. Can go right on with things here and should get a nice tow into it from barrier 7. Hard to

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

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down. Should land in a beautiful spot from the draw and no reason to suggest it can't win again on the way to better races. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
