Our Launceston Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting. The feature is the Listed Tasmanian Newmarket Handicap (race 5).
Turk Warrior (Launceston Race 4 No. 1)
This three-year-old Outreach gelding trained by Glenn Stevenson is unbeaten, with six wins from six starts. He outsprinted the field for a 3.25 length win over 1200m at Hobart on 2 May, then ran a similar race for a 2 length win in the Tasmanian Sires Produce over 1400m at Hobart on 16 May.Resumes here after 28 weeks and won a Launceston trial by 4.5 lengths. Should continue on his winning way.

Each Way
I’m Wesley (Launceston Race 5 No. 2):
This I Am Invincible gelding is nine-years-old now and has 15 wins and 14 places from 47 starts. Three of those wins were the 2017, 2018 and 2019 editions of this race which makes him the only horse to have won the Tasmanian Newmarket Handicap three times. He hasn’t raced for 94 weeks but has won three lead-up trials. Maybe I’m being sentimental but I think he will go well and am making him my best each-way bet.

Schauffele (Launceston Race 2 No. 2):
This four-year-old Redente gelding trained by Tanya Hanson at Longford has placed once from six starts and is the early favourite in this 3YO & up Maiden over 1200m. He battled on steadily for 6.7 lengths 6th over 1247m at Geelong then had a 14 week let-up before running home nicely for 3.6 lengths 8th over 1100m at Launceston on 27 October. Offers no value and others look better bets.

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
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Friday 3rd May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is in true position for the 10 race meeting. Best Bet Flying D'amore (Kilcoy Race 4 No. 5) Filly from the Annabel Neasham stable who resumed for 5th over 1200m at Doomben on 17th April. Will find this easier and looks the leading chance.
