Taree racing tips

—

Race 1. (13:30) Cellarbrations at Wingham C1 (2000m)

#6 – The Bentley @ $5.50

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for The Bentley, who looks to cap off consistent form with a long overdue win.

The five-year-old son of Exceed and Excel hit the line well enough when sixth at Port Macquarie last start, and that’s a nice form guide.

He’s good enough to beat this field with slight improvement.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (14:40) Taree Kia Manning Lightning Handicap (1000m)

#3 – The Escape @ $2.20

BET NOW

The Escape has made a nice start to his career with two wins and six placings from nine starts, and he runs well fresh up.

He owns three placings from three starts fresh, and although there are some smart speedsters in this field, he’s the best of them.

Take the odds before money comes for him late.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 4. (15:15) Allan Bakewell Memorial Krambach Sprint (1250m)

#1 – Jumeirah Beach @ $4.80

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Jumeirah Beach, who was good enough to score back-to-back wins last preparation.

The seven-year-old son of Pride of Dubai has yet to race at Taree, but he’s a six-time winner overall, and his class could shine through.

It’s another good ride for Bullock, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:50) Stacks Law Firm Maiden (1400m)

#14 – Talk About Layla @ $3.60

BET NOW

Talk About Layla did well to run second on debut at Taree, and having experience at the track adds to her appeal.

The three-year-old filly by Microphone is the best-backed runner from the Kris Lees stable, which is always a good guide.

If she gets luck from the draw, she should go close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (16:30) Sky International Taree Gold Cup (2000m)

#1 – Imperialist @ $3.10

BET NOW

After two solid efforts this campaign, Imperialist has plenty of improvement to come, especially at this level.

The four-year-old son of Churchill ran seventh behind Perfumist, who runs in a much bigger race at Randwick on Saturday.

He comes from the Waller stable, and that’s another positive.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (17:10) Bakewell Haulage Krambach Cup (1600m)

#1 – Auzstar @ $2.60

BET NOW

Auzstar capped off consistent form with a win at Port Macquarie, and we’re not surprised by the money coming for him.

The eight-year-old has enough experience to kick on with it now, and there are no superstars in this field, so look for him to take advantage.

Take the odds before money comes for him late.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (17:50) Glass 24/7 Magic C2 (1250m)

#7 – Highly Tempted @ $4.80

BET NOW

Highly Tempted is fresh up after posting five consecutive placings to end his last preparation.

The consistent four-year-old is only a one-time winner, but it’s only a matter of time before he scores another victory.

His odds have drifted, but we’re happy with the better price.

Stake: 1 Unit
