Tamworth racing tips

—

Race 1. (13:30) Krakatini River Ridge Handicap (1000m)

#3 – Miners Mate @ $5.00

BET NOW

Miners Mate got a pass mark for his debut effort at Scone, but we expect quick improvement.

The two-year-old son of Anders was always going to improve with the run under his belt, and there is less depth to this field.

Punters should expect him to figure in the finish.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (14:05) PRD Real Estate Liverpool Plains C1 (1600m)

#4 – Visualise @ $2.00

BET NOW

Visualise has been close to posting a win this preparation after four attempts, and this race looks well within his reach.

The four-year-old son of So You Think is bred to win more than one race, which is why his odds have firmed since opening.

55.5kg on his back is enough to see his winning form return.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (14:40) Evergreen Turf Maiden (1400m)

#1 – Magic Merlin @ $1.85

BET NOW

Magic Merlin is worth including in horse racing multi bets at the short odds, following a debut placing.

The three-year-old son of Lucky Vega ran at $2.50 odds on debut when running second at Walcha, and he should have taken plenty of benefit from the experience.

Aaron Bullock rides, and punters should be confident.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 4. (15:15) Gowings Toyota Maiden (1200m)

#8 – Toke @ $4.00

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Toke, who has been all around the mark in three runs this preparation.

The three-year-old son of Casino Prince ran third at Port Macquarie two back before finishing fourth at Muswellbrook.

Those are solid efforts, so he’s worth including in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:50) Roger Moylan Memorial C2 (1200m)

#8 – Gelsey @ $6.50

BET NOW

Punters get better odds than expected for Gelsey, who was too good for them at Walcha last time out.

The six-year-old mare won by 1.8 lengths, and although there is more depth to this field, she shouldn’t be paying $6.50.

Take the value before bookmakers trim her price.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (16:30) Club Quirindi Lightning Handicap (1000m)

#10 – Inazuma Boy @ $4.40

BET NOW

It’s a tricky race for the feature, but Inazuma Boy represents good each-way value at $4.40.

The Rodney Northam-trained gelding owns four wins and three placings from 10 starts, so the overall record is good.

Getting the inside draw with 55kg on his back just adds to his appeal.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (17:10) Elders Killara Feedlot Quirindi Cup (1600m)

#6 – Fiorsum Fred @ $5.00

BET NOW

We’re taking the each-way odds for Fiorsum Fred in the Cup, and he usually gives punters a good sight.

The Scott Singleton-trained runner comes off consecutive third placings at Newcastle and Tamworth, so he’s ready to produce the goods.

He loves this track, so the $5 odds are worth taking.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (17:50) Dad and Dave Turf BM58 (1400m)

#7 – Silent Serenade @ $4.00

BET NOW

Silent Serenade will need luck from a wide draw, but she won well at Walcha last time out, which is a good form guide.

The three-year-old filly by Supido owns three placings from three starts at Tamworth, so it’s about time she won her.

The $4 odds are worth including as a value bet.

Stake: 1 Unit
