Our Devonport Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Michbar (Devonport Race 5 No. 1)
It’s been three wins and three places from 10 starts for this four-year-old Whittington gelding trained by Adam Trinder. He faded and peaked on his run for 6.3 lengths 7th over 1220m at Launceston, then got pipped on the post for 0.1 length 2nd over 1150m at Devonport on 3 December. He has very good form on this synthetic track and looks the leading chance.

Each Way
Sir Simon (Devonport Race 7 No. 5):
This eight-year-old Tickets gelding trained by Scott Brunton has nine wins and five places from 22 starts. He was an easy 2.3 length winner over 1400m at Launceston on 3 November, then chased solidly the entire straight for 1.7 lengths 6th in the Listed Kilmore Cup over 1600m on 21 November. Has won two from three this campaign and looks a good each-way bet.

Vallabar (Devonport Race 8 No. 2):
This six-year-old gelding is the early favourite in this BM 68 handicap over 1880m. He finished 2.4 lengths 3rd when favourite over 1400m at Hobart on 14 November, then was outsprinted for 2.1 lengths 5th over 1650m at Devonport on 3 December. He hasn’t won beyond 1600m and I’m prepared to risk him here.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The Quokka (race 8) has $5 million prizemoney making it WA's richest race. There is also the Group 2 Karrrakatta Plate (race 7). The track is Good and the rail is +3 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Yarralea (Ascot Race 2 No. 3) Last-start winner over 1500m at Ascot and draws to do no work. Should be hard to beat.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000m-380m mark and true for the remainder. The best bet looks primed to break through. Best Bet Elba ( Cranbourne Race 2 No. 6 ) Boasts 4 placings to date, all of them in some decent company and now Elba gets its chance to breakthrough. Tackles this off a freshen up, comes up with the pole position and looks poised to give this race a red hot shake. Analyst: Bryce Parker
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The feature races are the Ascot Quality Handicap (race 8) and the Daybreak Lover (race 9). The track is Good and the rail is +1 metre the entire circuit. Best Bet Iverson (Eagle Farm Race 4 No. 10) Iverson has had 3 starts since joining the Robert Heathcote stable for 2 wins and a runner-up. He won by 2.5 lengths here last start and should go well again with a 2kg claim and good barrier. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
Horse Racing Tips: SA Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The feature is the H C Nitschke Stakes (race 8). The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Fancify (Morphettville Race 9 No. 8) Fancify resumes after 20 weeks and was won both her previous first-up starts. She’s only missed the quinella once in 7 starts and should be hard to catch. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Trumpsta (Morphettville Race 3 No. 7)
