Our Devonport Horse Racing Tips for Sunday.
Rail: True (Previously True)
Surface: All-Weather Turf (Synthetic)
Notes: The Devonport track has raced pretty well all season as we head into the last meeting. 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.

– Brendon McCoull: 22.1%SR @ 9.6% POT @ Devonport

Key Comments
Best Bet
Drinks At Vista (Devonport Race 4 No. 1):
Ex- Danny O’Brien horse who’s first up in TAS. Has landed in the astute Adam Trinder camp and senior rider Brendon McCoull jumps straight on – which is a strong push in itself. Drawn the pole she should get a kind run behind the speed and be looking to run over the top of them late. This is much easier than the races she’s contested in Victoria and I hope she can show her class edge here.
$5.00/2.00 (strong bet on a 2×3 basis)
Best Each Way
Gee Gee Plane (Devonport Race 5 No. 2):
After scratchings this race has lost a lot of speed, leaving GEE GEE PLANE to assume control. He comes out of a strong race behind some in-form gallopers, and was 1st up off a freshen there. Loves the track and has ran well enough at this trip previously, looks an easy bet to have up on-speed.
$10.00/3.00 (backing on a 1×3 each-way basis)
Best Lay
Ozturk (Devonport Race 2 No. 9):
Ran well last start at the 1450m and got pipped late. Looks very short in an even race, not sure jumping back in trip is a positive for a mare who looks very one-paced. Think she should be near twice the price he is early in betting.

Key Comments The track is a synthetic tapeta-based surface and weather has minimal effect on how it races. The rail remains in the true position. 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 Weldborough (Devonport Race 9 No. 3) Won by 2.5 lengths over
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.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 18th May 2024
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
