Race 1 – Class 4 Handicap (1400m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184844_01]
San Amaro is third-up and will take some beating from the inside gate. The horse finished fifth upon resumption before only missing out by eight parts of a length on April 19. Looms as the winner.
Race 1 tip: San Amaro to win at Sportsbet
Race 2 – Maiden (1400m)

Abba Original has finished inside the first-four across its last seven races and presents as one of the best horses in the race. The speedy beginner will relish barrier one and should be difficult to hold out.
Race 2 tip: Abba Original to win at Neds
Race 3 – Maiden Handicap (1200m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184844_03]
The Tax Accountant should spear out from barrier seven and look to win this one from the front. This race should be much easier than the race it confronted and we’re backing it to break through in this event.
Race 3 tip: The Tax Accountant to win at Sportsbet
Race 4 – Benchmark 65 (1000m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184844_04]
Grey Sambucca is hunting a hat-trick and is right in the frame to deliver. The gelding has progressed through the grades across the last two runs and a slight drop of weight will play in the gelding’s favour.
Race 4 tip: Grey Sambucca to win at Sportsbet
Race 5 – Open Handicap (1300m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184844_05]
Platinum Tycoon is in the form if its life and is going to be hard to beat. The four-year-old son of Written Tycoon has won three-straight races by a combined total of just under six lengths and there’s no reason to doubt the gelding heading into this one.
Race 5 tip: Platinum Tycoon to win at William Hill
Race 6 – Benchmark 60 (1200m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184844_06]
Mishani Redman should be good enough to improve from the first-up second where it finished just a length away from the winner Shahqa. The horse has placed second-up in the past and looks well suited in this race.
Race 6 tip: Mishani Redman to win at Sportsbet
Race 7 – Class 1 Plate (1400m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1184844_07]
October Tutu should improve sharply after a strong showing at Townsville on April 10. The horse has placed in five of its last six runs and has two second-up placings from three attempts.
Race 7 tip: October Tutu to win at Neds
