Swoop Dog (Launceston Race 5 No. 1)
This three-year-old Husson gelding has two wins and a place from four starts,and like all the others in the field he is having his first try at this distance. He was outsprinted when a length 2nd over 1600m at Launceston on 12 December, then swung very wide in the straight and finished best for a 1.5 length win in the Listed Tasmanian Guineas over 1600m at Launceston on 8 January.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Friday 13th December 2024
Key Comments On pace runners typically suited here. Hard to go past many of the short priced favourites on this card so looking to bundle them up and try and land a multi prior to the weekend commencing. Best Bet Zealously (Canterbury Race 6 No. 8) Very promising runner with the form being strongly franked in the mid weeks since. Should be able to land in a prominent spot from the kind draw and keep the good form rolling in this suitable race.
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 13th December 2024
Key Comments Night racing at Moonee Valley and an 8 race card. Expecting those on speed typically to be suited on this track. The best bet has been a model of consistency this prep and can control proceedings from the good draw. Best Bet Jenny The Beaver (Moonee Valley Race 1 No. 5) Very consistent prep so far and was solid last time out in a handy form race. They go over the long staying trip and barrier 1 can be put to
Horse Racing Tips: TAS Wednesday 11th December 2024
Key Comments An 8 race evening meeting with the first race at 6.05 pm. The features are the Listed $125,000 Conquering Stakes (race 6) and the $75,000 3YO Trophy (race 5). The track is rated good and the rail is +7 metres from the 1200m to the winning post and +6 metres for the remainder. Best Bet Silver Dagger (Launceston Race 2 No. 11) She was runner-up at Hobart on debut then was a 2.5 length winner over 1100m at Launceston last start.
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Wednesday 11th December 2024
Key Comments The track is rated heavy and he rail is +8 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Disney Castle (Ipswich Race 2 No. 4) Two starts ago she had a good win at Eagle Farm then last start she jumped awkwardly, was held up tightened, steadied and not fully tested at Doomben. Forget that run. She is good enough to run them all down. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way
