Taree racing preview, betting tips & quaddie | Tuesday, 2/1/24
| What | Taree Races |
| Where | Manning Valley Race Club – Racecourse Dr, Taree NSW 2430 |
| When | Tuesday, January 2, 2023 |
| First Race | 1:50pm AEDT |
Country racing heads to Taree on Tuesday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-race program set for decision. The rail sits in the true position the entire circuit for the meeting, and with some scattered showers predicted in the lead-up, we anticipate the surface to be rated a Soft 6 for race-day. The opening race is set to get underway at 1:50pm AEDT.
Taree Best Bet: Jonny Be Swift
Jonny Be Swift picked up a soft win first-up at Queanbeyan on December 20 and should appreciate taking a significant step-up in trip. The son of So You Think proved classy enough over 1460m on resumption; however, he seems like a genuine staying type moving forward as the three-year-old muscled through the Heavy track conditions. Gregory Hickman elects to send his galloper to the 2000m second-up, and with the booking of Aaron Bullock showing plenty of intent, we expect Jonny Be Swift to go close to chalking up back-to-back victories.
Best Bet
Race 1 – 
#4 Jonny Be Swift (5)
3yo Gelding | T: Gregory Hickman | J: Aaron Bullock (58kg)
Next Best At Taree: Shigeru
Shigeru returns after almost a whole year off the scene on Tuesday afternoon, and despite his lengthy absence, he appears to be ready for a first-up tilt. The four-year-old gelding brings some quality maiden form from last season, finding minor money on four occasions before being tipped out to the paddock. His trials have been solid to the eye, and with this contest seemingly his best opportunity to break his maiden, we’re confident Shigeru can only run well here.
Next Best
Race 4 – 
#1 Shigeru (4)
4yo Gelding | T: Jason Deamer | J: Aaron Bullock (59.5kg)
Best Value At Taree: Freya’s Moment
Freya’s Moment warrants an each-way ticket in the second event of the program, as she makes her race-day debut on the back of a strong jump-out victory. The daughter of Nostradamus went on to score by 1.1 lengths at Kempsey on December 18, travelling beautifully under Luke Rolls to secure victory while racing under her own steam. She maps well from barrier five on Tuesday, and although she may lack some fitness, we’re willing to take the risk at the price with online bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 2 – 
#8 Freya’s Moment (5)
3yo Filly | T: Glen Hodge | J: Luke Rolls (56.5kg)
