Taree racing tips

—

Race 1. (13:15) XXXX Heat of the Rising Sta BM58 (1600m)

#6 – Sea Me Dance @ $3.80

BET NOW

Shooting for consecutive wins is Sea Me Dance, who scored an overdue maiden win by a whopping 10.5 lengths last start.

The four-year-old mare by Ocean Park faced only four runners, but it was an emphatic victory, and this race isn’t too much harder.

Dropping in weight also helps, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (14:25) Cafe Nosh Maiden (1400m)

#5 – Bellevue @ $3.50

BET NOW

Bellevue wasn’t far off the winner either side of a spell, and he is better with a run under his belt this campaign.

The three-year-old son of Bivouac has been backed to win after opening at $3.60, which should be a good form guide.

Barrier three should see him land in a good spot and give punters a good sight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (15:05) Jack Westren Memorial BM58 (1000m)

#4 – Speedy Target @ $3.60

BET NOW

Speedy Target showed consistent form last preparation when finishing with four second placings from his last five starts.

The six-year-old son of Super One is a two-time winner overall, and it shouldn’t take him long to score another victory.

He gets weight off back and the inside draw, which bodes well.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (15:40) J&L Cross Electrical and Air Conditioning Maiden (1250m)

#1 – Surpasser @ $2.70

BET NOW

Surpasser wasn’t far away on debut when running fourth at Beaumont, and an improved run is expected.

The Kris Lees-trained three-year-old should only get better with racing, as they tend to do from the Lees stable.

Having Aaron Bullock riding helps, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (16:20) LJ Hooker Harrington C1 (1250m)

#6 – Herman Said @ $3.10

BET NOW

The three-year-old son of Exceedance has made a good impression so far, including a debut win at Scone.

He was a touch disappointing when running fifth at Beaumont last time out, but he might have needed a couple of runs back from a spell.

Strong bets have come his way, which is a good sign.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (16:55) Level Building Co BM66 (2000m)

#3 – Monty Be Quick @ $4.60

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Monty Be Quick, who comes off a second placing at Hawkesbury behind Heaven Bound.

The six-year-old son of New Bay is only a two-time winner from 21 starts, but he has been working his way towards another victory.

We’re happy to stick with him at the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (17:30) Harrington Hotel Harrington Cup BM66 (1300m)

#3 – Speedy Henry @ $3.60

BET NOW

Speedy Henry is a nice type in the making after posting three wins from seven starts, and he should be tough to beat around Taree.

The four-year-old son of Hellbent should get a gun run from barrier two, and that should be enough to take him close.

$3.60 is a better price than expected.

Stake: 2 Units
