Our Canberra Racing Tips for Tuesday’s meeting on Melbourne Cup day.
Best Bet
Prophet’s Pride (Canberra Race 8 No. 7)
This four-year-old Divine Prophet mare trained by Matthew Kelley has three wins and two places from eight starts. She resumed for a 1.8 length win over 1100m at Bathurst on 18 October, where she got a nice trail on the rails behind the speed and drove through a gap in the last 100m to finish best. Has won on Soft and on Heavy going and will be tough to beat.

Each Way
Almost Persuaded (Canberra Race 9 No. 3)
Rob Potter trains this five-year-old Casino Prince mare who has three wins and seven places from 14 starts. She finished a length 3rd over 1200m on a Heavy track at Moruya on 30 September, then worked to the outside rail when straightening and took over for a 3.4 length win over 1400m on a Heavy track at Goulburn on 11 October. The track conditions won’t worry her and she should at least place here.
$6
Best Lay
Sandastan (Canberra Race 2 No. 1)
This four-year-old Epaulette gelding trained by Richard Litt at Warwick Farm is the early favourite in this BM 60 Handicap over 2000m. He is going well but doesn’t look like a wet-tracker, and as I write this in Canberra on a monday afternoon the rain has been falling all day and the ground is waterlogged. He has top weight of 59.5kg to lug around in the mud, and in these conditions I am prepared to risk him.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Tuesday 30th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet can land us a win in the first. Best Bet Pee Dee (Quirindi Race 2 No. 1) Has been sound in both efforts to date and this race lacks any depth. The 5th last start is better than it reads on paper and that is in a race much harder than this. Goes in the mix here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bhakti Dave Each Way

Key Comments A big 10 race card takes place. The rail is in 3 metres. The track usually suits those who can sustain a long run to the line. That will suit the best bet who loves racing here and comes up later in the day. Best Bet Flame Tree Star (Grafton Race 1 No. 1) Has a booming turn of foot and while Swanston doesn't have the easiest pattern to catch, this track does suit and that shows with the 9 placings

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet flies on this track and is weighted superbly. Best Bet Bedouin Bear (Goulburn Race 1 No. 1) Flies here with 6 placings ( and 3 wins ) from 10 attempts. Superbly weighted after the claim and comes into this with a big chance. Slightly awkward draw but will be very hard to beat with even luck. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bhakti Dave Each Way
