The midweek racing on offer this week wasn’t great, and so far (one horse to run at the time of writing) our picks have followed suit. However, Lady Talea was scratched, so in all truth it was only Yoshida who let us down, running a poor race on Wednesday. Thankfully, this weekend’s racing looks awesome and we’re confident of providing success to our readers. These is a feast of great racing at Royal Randwick, which is backed up by decent cards at Townsville and Belmont.

Saturday 8th August Royal Randwick Race 8 - Angel Capital (Best Bet)

Chris Waller’s Angel Capital is arguably the most experienced in this field and has won by far more prize money than any other horse in the field. He was well fancied last time out at this course but disappointed finishing in sixth. However, we believe the slight drop in distance will see him bounce back to the form that saw him come second in a group one back in March. 

 

Rating 8 out of 10

Saturday 8th August Townsville Race 6 - Journalism

Journalism made it two wins in a row last time out and had many of these behind him in his previous outing. I cannot see enough improvement in any of those that finished behind him that day to suggest that they can turn the tables on him here. Jockey Adam Sewell is in good form and his record on Journalism reads 2-1-1. Expect this one to be amongst the top three once again.

Saturday 8th August Belmont Race 7 - Fluro Neuro

This looks a relatively straightforward assignment for Fluro Neuro, having beaten many of these last time out at the same track. He was certainly underestimated that day looking at his odds, but don’t expect the bookmakers to do the same here. Trainers Grant & Alana Williams have been in the winners this week, and they could easily continue that good run here.

G’day, folks. Our horse racing tips this weekend cover three runners. In Race 8 at Royal Randwick, Angel Capital was well fancied at the track last start but could only manage sixth. Coming back in distance may bring a better run. In Townsville Race 6, Journalism has won his last two, and Adam Sewell is riding in good touch. He’s already beaten plenty of these rivals. Fluro Neuro runs in Race 7 at Belmont after beating many of the same field there last time, and trainers Grant and Alana Williams are in winning form. That wraps up this week’s racing tips.
