Te Rapa races betting preview & best bets | Saturday 15/4/2023
| What | Te Rapa Races |
| Where | Te Rapa Racecourse – 12 Sir Tristram Ave, Hamilton, New Zealand |
| When | Saturday, April 15, 2023 |
| First Race | 12:29pm NZST |
The Waikato Racing Club stages an eight-race card at Te Rapa this Saturday, with the rail out 6m on this 1800m left-handed track. The action kicks off at 12:29pm NZST.
Best Bet – Westwood
Westwood is a speedy filly who finished second at this track last start over 1300m. She went straight to the lead and kicked clear with 200m to run but was out-run late by the race favourite. She has had five previous starts at this track for one win and four placings, and in her third run this prep she will be cherry ripe. Dropping back slightly in distance to 1200m will also aid her winning chances.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#5 Westwood (4)
3yo Filly | T: Andrew Forsman | J: Wiremu Pinn (56kg)
Next Best – Tightlign
Tightlign at nine years old is the veteran of the field but showed that he still has a win left in him when finishing a bold second over 1200m last start. He never gave up the chase to the line and the soft track here will suit him.
Next Best
Race 6 – 
#2 Tightlign (6)
9yo Gelding | T: S B Marsh | J: Triston Moodley (a4) (61.5kg)
Best Value – Deep Beauty
Deep Beauty resumed from a spell last start to finish eighth of 12 runners, but he was only 2.5 lengths from the winner. He has a good record second-up and has won his two career races at this track. With his jockey claiming 4kg as an allowance he rates as one of the better each-way bets on the card.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#1 Deep Beauty (11)
6yo Gelding | T: R James & R Wellwood | J: Triston Moodley (a4) (59kg)
