Sunday will see a host of quality thoroughbred races with our focus being on the meeting at Pioneer Park (Alice Springs) in the Northern Territory. Take a look at our horse racing tips and best bets for Sunday 2nd May, 2020.

Alice Springs – Race 3 2:00PM AEST

No. 2 Regal Capital – Bet Now: $5.50

Regal Capital has been racing well without winning this campaign and he has an excellent chance to return to winning form. He doesn’t win out of turn, but there isn’t a huge amount of quality in this field and his two previous wins have come at Alice Springs. The Carlton House gelding will make his own luck right on the speed and prove tough to run down.

Alice Springs – Race 4 2:37PM AEST

No. 3 Skaldak – Bet Now: $2.60

Skaldak has recorded two wins from his past three race starts and there is no doubt that he is racing in career best form. The way that he put away his rivals at Alice Springs last start was particularly impressive and a repeat of that effort would make him very tough to beat. Barrier three is ideal and he will get a lovely run in transit with Paul Shiers in the saddle.

Alice Springs – Race 7 4:32PM AEST

BEST BET: No. 5 Silver Melody – Bet Now: $3.00

Silver Melody ticks all the boxes for this contest at Alice Springs this afternoon. She showed his ability with a tough win at Alice Springs a couple of starts ago and she was not disgraced when she was beaten as favourite last start. The All Too Hard mare has the early speed to take up the running and she will give her rivals something to catch.

Alice Springs – Race 9 5:40PM AEST

No. 1 Java – Bet Now: $3.10

Java is a veteran galloper that keeps on producing and he is the horse to beat in the Ladbrokes Alice Springs Cup. He returned to winning form with a tough victory in the Chief Minister’s Cup last start and it is tough to see any of his rivals from that contest turning-the-tables on him. He is another horse that will make his own luck right on the speed and he will have every possible chance to claim another feature race win.
