Horse Racing Tips: Thursday, July 2nd

July 2nd 2020, 12:01am, By: Luke Krahe

Welcome to our horse racing preview and betting tips for racing on Thursday, July 2nd.

Thursday sees five meetings take place around Australia, three of those being at Cranbourne, Murwillumbah and Hawkesbury. Luke Krahe has tipped up his best bets for each of those tracks in his preview below.

Horse Racing Tips: Thursday, July 2nd

Cranbourne Race 2 - (Market)

(2) Dunvegan is a first-starter for the Matt Laurie stable at Mornington, the son of Wandjina has had four jump-outs, three of them this time in. He placed at the first two and the latest at his home tyrack was most encouraging. He was well away but eased to take cover, racing in restricted room he lost a length of momentum approaching the turn before angling into the clear nicely. He showed good awareness for an un-raced horse and love the way he accelerated and was going as good as any through the line. A replay of the latest jump-out can be found here. He looks a good play at each-way odds.

Murwillumbah Race 1 - (Market)

There are plenty of unknowns here with four first-starters but am happy to be against them unless there is some serious money for one or two. (2) Hollywood Dreaming is trained by the region's best trainer Matty Dunn, she has had three starts and improved at each of them. She debuted at Kembla and although she only beat three home, she did run on well enough from the back. Three weeks between runs and it was over to Ballina, she showed a lot more speed and over-raced badly in front. She stuck on ok for second but was well beaten. Last time against the girls at Casino, she was poorly away and forced to work early to lead. She kicked away and was run down late, this certainly looks no harder. After not running out the 6 furlongs at her last couple I like the fact she is coming back to the 1000m. Camped up on the speed she should be a maiden no longer after today.

Murwillumbah Race 3 - (Market)

We are again with Belinda Hodder, hopefully she bags a double with (1) Dash For Van in the staying race of the day. The son of Dash For Cash has been up forever but you will find that runner’s in this class that are over this kind of trip, its either horses in form, or up-and-comers that could improve. Dash For Van is a last start winner here at the track and trip, he was forced to do all the work sitting outside the leader and was still too good in the run home. He stays at the same 58 grade, gets the same conditions and should have no issue carrying the extra couple of kg’s. If he does land on the bunny and first across to the rail, bet again in the run.

(1) Dash For Van

Hawkesbury Race 5 - (Market)

(4) Capri Of Tuffy won her maiden before going to the padock, she was given a 4-month break and has been ok at three runs since. She put in a howler on the heavy track at Warwick Farm but she is not the first, and won’t be the last, to put in a shocker there on a rain-affected surface. Last start at Kembla she sat up outside the leader after being well backed, kept chasing and stuck on well to place in a race no easier than this. Love the jockey change going from Latham to Nash, look for him to stamp the filly urgent early and rolling straight to the top.
