Our Launceston Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
The main races is the $150,000 Gold Sovereign Stakes (Race 5).
Sparkling One (Launceston Race 4 No. 6)
This four-year-old mare has two wins and three places from eight starts. She resumed from a 16 week spell with a 6.5 length win over 1150m at Devonport Tapeta Synthetic on 11 January, then raced away for a 5.75 length win over 1100m at Hobart on 24 January. Drops 2.5 kg from last run and looks too quick for these.

Each Way
We Need A Star (Launceston Race 3 No. 1):
This five-year-old Needs Further gelding has had 13 starts for one win and six places. He worked home from well back for 4.35 lengths 6th over 1220m at Launceston on 16 January, then was last to the turn and chased hard for 2.5 lengths 2nd over 1220m at Launceston on 27 January. The extra distance should be in his favour and he looks worth an each-way bet.
$8.50
Best Lay
Tough Boy (Launceston Race 7 No. 3):
This four-year-old gelding is the early favourite in this BM 74 handicap over 1600m. He finished 1, 0.5 lengths 3rd over 1400m at Launceston on 8 January on 8 January, then was outsprinted to the line for 2.1 lengths 4th over 1220m at Launceston on 16 January. He is untried at the distance and others offer better value.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The features are the Dalrello Stakes (race 6), Victory Stakes (race 8) and the Queensland Guineas (race 9). The track is soft and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Typhoon Taavi (Eagle Farm Race 3 No. 3) This mare from the Tony Gollan stable has won her last 2 races by big margins. She has heaps of natural speed and gets a 3kg claim for Tahlia Fenton who has had success on her before. Leading hope. Check
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 3rd May 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is off the back of a strong second placing and looks hard to hold out launching from the good draw. Best Bet Red Red Wine (Echuca Race 8 No. 5) He has been hard to catch lately but was keen on him earlier this prep when he was smashed in the market and ran on well in a higher grade than this. Gets his chance in this field and should relish the drop in
Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The feature is the Group 3 WA Sires' Produce Stakes (race 7). The track is rated Soft and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Profit Pocket (Ascot Race 2 No. 3) She’s won all 3 starts this campaign at Esperance, Ascot and Pinjarra At her last 2 wins she’s raced outside the leader before taking over for dominant wins. Think she can do it again. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 8 metres. The track played well last time. Suspect with the rail out that far it may suit those on speed. The best bet looks double the price it should be. Best Bet Cadmus (Caulfield Heath Race 3 No. 1) Hard to beat. Brilliant return up a few grades than this and looks superbly treated in this with the drop in grade. Smart move with the claim and is 1/1 over this trip. Check odds on
