Welcome to our horse racing preview and betting tips for racing on Tuesday, August 4th.
After a big start to the week with Darwin Cup day, it's a more subdued afternoon of racing on Tuesday. Luke Krahe has done his best to find a few winners from Pakenham Synthetic and Scone below!
Horse Racing Tips: Tuesday, August 4th
Pakenham Synthetic Race 1 - (Market)
(7) Jenni’s Rainbow is a first-starter for the David Brideoake yard at Mornington, the daughter of More Than Ready has had three jump-outs, the latest was most impressive. At her home track and importantly on the synthetic surface, she was in a four-horse trial and after beginning fairly, sat behind the speed. She angled wide and ran over the top of them without ever being pressured, she looks to have plenty of ability and has shown that she can handle the dirt. It doesn’t look a deep race and any money for her would increase the confidence levels. A replay of that latest jump-out can be found here.

Pakenham Synthetic Race 3 - (Market)
(5) Ocean Blast has had three runs back this campaign, all of them here at the track on the synthetic surface. He stormed home when resuming over the 6 furlongs then had no luck when held-up at a vital stage second-up. Last time he had a beautiful run in transit behind the leader after being well backed into favourite. He had his chance, he layed in down the straight but kept coming and wasn’t beaten far. He gets the winkers on for the first time and sticks at the 1400m, maps beautifully again behind the speed and should be chiming in at the right time.
Scone Race 1 - (Market)
(4) Holy Sunday won his maiden here at Scone last campaign, a nice effort at the next run then was poor in harder grade before going to the paddock. He resumed here in a harder Class 1, was slowly away and settled back in the field. He got to the middle of the track and ran on hard into a place without ever looking the winner. That race has proven a good form reference with a winner coming through it since, stepping up in trip looks to suit and maps to get the right run. (1) Baileys will have support, he wasn’t beaten far in the harder Grafton Guineas last start but will be giving our tip a start. Happy to be on the one with the tactical advantage.
Scone Race 3 - (Market)
The first-starters look to hold the key to this race, (7) Not Another Reiby gets the nod with me. The John Sargent trained gelding had a trial back in January before being sent back to the paddock. He resumed and has had two hit-outs recently, the most recent of those was a Randwick trial win where he led throughout. He has shown speed at all of his trials, from the wide gate should be able to get across and control from the front. If he does land on the bunny early, go again in the run, especially if there is confidence in the betting pre-race.
