Our Sandown Hillside Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting
Dee Keepa (Sandown Hillside Race 4 No. 7)
The Lindsey Smith galloper resumed with a solid 4th over the 1100m at Bendigo. She was then heavily backed, held up and narrowly missed at Donald on Cup Day. She is now ready to peak third up, up to 1400m with the Melbourne Cup winning jockey Jye McNeil going on. Last preparation when third up she won by 3.8 lengths over this distance.

Each Way
Capital Zous (Sandown Hillside Race 6 No. 7):
The four-year-old son of Zoustar began his career with a strong maiden win at Hamilton in May. He was then spelled and resumed on a rain affected Warrnambool track where he had excuses. He put in a much improved effort second up on firmer footing storming home at Ballarat after being held up. Similarly to our best bet, he is third up here with Jye McNeil booked and the best value bet of the day at double figure odds.

Best Lay
Better Kick (Sandown Hillside Race 3 No. 4):
Better Kick did a good job to break his maiden last start at Wangaratta but that was against much easier company. The horse that ran second was previously unplaced in seven attempts. He now has to tackle a strong mid week benchmark 64 featuring six last start winners and I am happy to risk as the favourite in early markets.

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
