Another Wednesday means some good midweek racing to get us over the hump. There’s meetings at Randwick-Kensington, Cranbourne and Eagle Farm where we can hopefully find a few winners.
Billy Bestford has had a look across the three meetings and has found his best bets for the day.
Horse Racing Tips: Wednesday, August 4th
Randwick Race 3
(10) Trifaccia resumes to racing today and her form stands out in this sort of field. Was last seen finishing down the track in the Percy Sykes behind Jamaea. Was a nice trial recently with JMac on board and the fact he takes a rare ride for Godolphin today tells me this horse is flying.
Randwick Race 4
(2) Kutayha could not have been more impressive when resuming at this track two weeks ago. He was ridden quietly and went straight past his rivals in a very good win. That was 5 weeks between runs and he will only be better getting out to this trip now.
Randwick Race 6
(7) Mystic Rebel looks a very promising type for Mark Newnham and looks a good chance to progress through her grades here. Put the writing on the wall with at this track on debut before a dominant win in maiden grade over 1400m. This is clearly a tough ask jumping straight to bm72 but if you can trust the placement of the stable, she looks good enough for this.
Eagle Farm Race 3
(7) Word For Word is a serial bridesmaid but won’t get a better chance to win another one here today. Goes very well 2nd up and this looks a much easier task than the last race she tackled. Maps for the gun run for in-form Jimmy Orman and Chris Waller with a rare midweek runner, has a great strike rate up here in QLD.
Eagle Farm Race 6
(4) Night Express is an interesting runner, having 2nd start for the Vandyke yard since joining from Victoria. Has a great 2nd up record and it wouldn’t surprise me to see this horse winning today. Gets onto her much preferred dry surface now and should be able to position up near the front of the field from the low draw.
