Our Hobart Horse Racing Tips for Sunday’s meeting.
Key Comments
Track: Currently a Soft 5 but there’s a touch of rain on the forecast and some wind expected.
Rail: +9m (Previously in the +5m position)
Notes:
The 2022/2023 season comes to a close at Hobart, with the track holding up beautifully.
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.
David Pires and Brendon McCoull provide a nice subplot for the meeting as they fight out the TAS Jockey’s Premiership.
Jockeys to follow:
– Brendon McCoull: 27%SR @ 6.1% POT L100 Runners
– David Pires: 18%SR @ 21.6% POT L100 Runners
Trainers to follow:
– lmogen Miller: 15%SR @ 15% POT@ Hobart
– Scott Brunton: Career 19.1%SR @ 0.3% POT @ Hobart
Best Bet
Alvarinho (Hobart Race 6 No. 6):
Looks a class above these after a pleasing trip to Melbourne where running 2nd at Sandown. Tick-over trial was good enough to be winning here off a 70-day break.
$2.30
Best Each Way
Rodrick’s Secret (Hobart Race 7 No. 8):
Closed well last start when held up. Gets nice weight relief here and should get a kind run in behind the speed to factor in the finish.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Monday 20th January 2025
Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet comes up towards the end of the day and can resume a winner after a last start flop prior to being sent to the paddock. Best Bet Baggage Handler (Albury Race 7 No. 4) Big win 2 starts back and last time out failed as a very short favourite. Trials have been rock solid since then, including a very good second on this track and looks well placed to take this
Horse Racing Tips: WA Sunday 19th January 2025
Key Comments The feature is the $100,000 Mungrup Sprint over 1300 metres (race 7). The track is rated good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Parc It In Here (Mount Barker Race 3 No. 3) Tends to settle well back in the field and runs home strongly. Won at Albany 2 starts back then was 0.7 length off the winner last start. The rise in distance should suit and he looks the testing material. Check odds on SmartB
