The Magic Millions Carnival just keeps getting better and this is an outstanding card as a prelude to next week. Gold Coast is a tight, tricky track and there is some rain around which should make for a soft surface and have them heading to the centre of the track in the straight. With the rail true those that can take a position in the first half…

Only seven races but a Saturday level prizemoney two-year-old race which has attracted some Magic Millions hopefuls certainly brightens the Sunday meeting. The track should be good and with the rail out eight metres all horses will get their chance. BEST BET: TRACY'S SPIRIT (Race 3 No 5) NEXT BEST: NATALIEANN (Race 4 No 4) VALUE BET: LEORED (Race 5…

Best Bet: Race 2 No.4 THE IRISHMAN Best Value: Race 9 No.16 ROCK Quaddie Leg 1: 3,8,16 Leg 2: 1,2,3,5 Leg 3: 1,2,10,16,18,19,20,21 Leg 4: 3,6,17 The Championships are here! Randwick plays host to my favourite day of racing in Sydney and one of my favourite races of the year, the Group 1 Doncaster Mile. Rail true and a few showers during the week…

The big track at the Sunshine Coast takes centre stage in Queensland on Saturday with good depth in most races. BEST BET HILLCREST AVENUE (Race 2 No. 9) NEXT BEST GREEN REIGN (Race 4 No. 4) VALUE BET TAPILDOODLEDO (Race 3 No. 3) Quaddie numbers are: Race 6 - 5.9,11 Race 7 - 2,4,6,9 Race 8 - 5,8,10,16 Race 9 - 6,9,11 144…

Trainer Chris Anderson thought he had never brought a better longshot to the races than Rubiquitous in Saturday's Listed Mick Dittman Plate at Doomben, and he was proved right, but he had to survive a protest first. Early markets had the three-year-old rated a 50-1 chance, while punters flocked to the likes of Prince Of Boom, Startantes, Alpine…

The winter carnival reaches its zenith with Stradbroke day at Eagle Farm and with the track playing fairly all horses will get their chance. Recent history shows that with the rail out four metres they can come from anywhere to win but on big days staying with top riders and trainers is usually profitable. Race 1- Oxlade Stakes (Two-Years-Old…

Ipswich has been getting plenty of racing and with the rail out between eight and 10 metres that will make it tough for those drawn in the boondocks. The tight track favours front-runners and with a bit of light rain around to take the sting out of the ground I want to be on those that can make their own luck.

The third midweek in a row at Ipswich and we can expect an upset or two on the tricky track with weather likely to play a part. The tight track favours front-runners and with the rail out between four and six metres I want to be on those ridden by in-form jockeys that can take luck out of the equation. BEST BET: SOLAROSA (Race 1 No 6) NEXT…

Some interesting Southern invaders muddy the waters but previous form on the track proved a good guide at Eagle Farm last week and I expect much of same for this big 10-race card featuring the Queensland Cup. They were coming from everywhere to win last week and on a good surface with the rail out two metres there will be few excuses.

The time-honoured Weetwood and Toowoomba Cups along with the first two-year-old race of the season herald the start of spring racing in Queensland. The undulating track can pose issues for visitors and it pays to be wary of the local trainers on what is their big day. Some rain is forecast but with the rail true all horses should get their chance…

It is Lismore Cup Day when racing heads to the Lismore Turf Club on Thursday afternoon, and HorseBetting's New South Wales form expert presents his betting preview for the eight-race card. Despite the track coming up a Good 3 as of Wednesday morning, there is plenty of rain forecast in the lead-up to the meeting, so it will be pay dividends to back…

Pink Ribbon race day is always a big occasion though with track renovations underway field sizes have been reduced. A prospect of fair weather will help though on this tight circuit I will be looking for those that can make their own luck and aren't going to get caught in traffic.
