Rockhampton Best Bets & Preview | January 29
We're back racing at Rocky on Thursday after missing a couple of meetings due to the floods, and while there are small fields across the afternoon as a result, there's a couple of good bets to be had. We're on a Good 4, while the rail is out 0.5m the entire. Race 1: 2YO Handicap (1100M) Craiglea Monnie debuted in a really hot 2YO race, before tackling the older horses in maiden grade at her next two starts. She wasn't disgraced two back at big odds, then went to Thangool over

Eagle Farm Best Bets + Preview | January 28
Headquarters on a Wednesday, gee whiz feels good to be back at Eagle Farm. An eight race card and probably an absolutely rock hard track with the heat wave we have had this past week. We find ourselves on what will surely be a good 4 track with the rail out eight metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.38pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (1840M) Fair bit of exposed form for this race but it just looks like a few fairly low animals battling it out for their first victory,

Ipswich | January 21
Well, fair to say I don’t think the mugs may ever come down off this high, but if there is one way to do it, its take us out to Ipswich on a steamy Wednesday for the midweek racing. Sir Carter may not be racing there for the fortunes off the weekend but the Hulbert’s are and look a good chance. We find ourselves on a soft 6 track with the rail out seven metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.38pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (1700M) This maiden does not exactly scream

Rockhampton Best Bets & Preview | November 27
Eight races are set for decision at Callaghan Park this afternoon, with the first to be run at 1:10pm local time. We're starting the meeting on a Soft 5, while the rail is out 3.5m the entire. Here's hoping we go on with the job after four winners at the last Rocky meeting. Race 1: 3YO Handicap (1050M) Rinse and repeat from a fortnight ago here. Sunzora bolted in by 24L in his first trial (yes, 24L, don't believe everything you read on the internet [TAB App])... He backed t

Ipswich | November 26
Mugs, Mugs, the rains are here. We head to Ipswich for more of the mid-week magic and not only is it a shortened card, its also going to be a slop fest. We find ourselves on a heavy 9 track with the rail out seven metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.38pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (2190M) Making Eyes looks to be the one here from barrier two and I am taking on the odds on shot. Heavy track will leave a lot to be desired with almost no attempts on this kind of tra

Doomben Best Bets + Preview | November 19
We are back in Brisbane for more of the mid-week magic and fair to say we need to lift after last week. The Group ones are over in Perth on the weekend but forget that lets find a winner locally. We find ourselves on a soft 5 track with the rail out five metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.43pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (1350M) Not keen this race pretty even field, happy to keep the cue in the rack till later in the day. Race 2: MAIDEN (1110M) Wooten Hyde , thr

Rockhampton Best Bets & Preview | November 14
We've got eight of the best out of Callaghan Park this afternoon, with the first kicking off at 1:32pm. We're starting the day on a Soft 5, but there is a bit of rain around so it could deteriorate, while the rail is out 1.5m the entire. Race 1: 3YO Maiden Handicap (1050M) It was only a trial. but Senzora won his heat by 24L, so it's hard to turn a blind eye to that. While he may not have beaten much in the trial, he ran around 2.5secs quicker thhan any of the other three 8

Eagle Farm | November 12
The spring carnival is over, and we are a few weeks away from the Summer Carnival in Queensland. We find ourselves on a soft 5 track with the rail out nine metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 2.18pm. Race 1: Class 1 (1000M) Interesting race this with a few non-winners Amosu comes through some very solid form lines here and with the pace drawn out here she will get a good run in behind and will need the gaps late but should be good enough to win this with

Ipswich | November 6
Cup day has been run and won and what a day it was for the Australian bread now champion in Haf Yours. While this meant no mid-week racing here in Queensland we have decided to treat you to a set of Oaks day tips at Ipswich. We find ourselves on a soft 5 track with the rail will back in the true position for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.02pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (1666M) Pretty smart way to start the day here, Ben Thompson on the favourite Hard as Brok, drawn lo

Rockhampton Best Bets + Preview | October 30
Eight races are scheduled for Rockhampton this afternoon. We’re starting on a Soft 7, with the rail out 6.5m the entire. There is a little bit of rain forecast around lunchtime, but other than that, it looks relatively good drying weather, so an upgrade throughout the day won’t shock, especially if the rain misses. The first is set to go at 11:46am local time. Race 1: BM70 (1050m) Not overly keen to play here, but Pretty Slick seems to be the only one going any good. She’s

Cup week is here and so apparently are hail storms, half of Birsbane without power and thirty-eight degree days. While all that is going on however we have a cracker mid-week card at Doomben that we need to assess. We find ourselves on a heavy 9 track with potentially more rain and the possibility of a down grade through the day. The rail will be out ten and a half metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.08pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (2070M) Not an absolute lick of

Well we are well and truly in Spring and nothing sais Spring like a tiny seven race card at Eagle Farm on a Wednesday with all the superstars arriving in Melbourne for the Cox Plate. We find ourselves on a soft 5 track throughout the day with the rail out ten and a half metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.33pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (1600M) We start the day with a maiden over the mile which is an interesting race on paper. The usual suspects are all here and T

Everest week is here, Caufield Cup as well but we have benchmark racing at Doomben and we know what the mugs prefer, midweek madness. We find ourselves on a soft 5 track throughout the day with the rail out eight and a half metres for entire course and the first race to jump at 1.23pm. Race 1: MAIDEN (1200M) Happy to keep it in the holster early here at Doomben, open maiden with no standouts, follow the general maiden rule, drawn low and money push. Race 2: MAIDEN (1200M)
