Friday will see plenty of quality thoroughbred racing across the country with our focus being on the meeting at Wagga in New South Wales. Take a look at our horse racing tips and best bets for Friday 7th May, 2021.
Wagga – Race 2 1:15PM AEST
No. 4 Delightful Dream – Bet Now: $3.20
Delightful Dream showed plenty of toughness to get the job done last start and he has now recorded two wins from his five race starts.
He is a horse that does have good early speed and he shouldn’t have any issues finding a forward position in the early stages of this contest.
Wagga – Race 6 3:40PM AEST
No. 1 Black Duke – Bet Now: $5.50
Black Duke doesn’t have the best winning record, but he is well-placed in the Wagga Guineas this afternoon.
He has generally been thereabouts without winning during his racing career to date and I like the fact that he is on the quick back up.
Barrier one is ideal and he maps to get a lovely run in transit with Nash Rawiller in the saddle.
Wagga – Race 7 4:20PM AEST
BEST BET: No. 2 Spirit Ridge – Bet Now: $4.80
Spirit Ridge is the horse to beat in the Wagga Wagga Gold Cup.
He wasn’t disgraced at Group 1 level in the Tancred Stakes and the Sydney Cup and this is a much more suitable race for him.
Nash Rawiller will be able to settle him right on the speed and he will give his rivals something to catch.
Wagga – Race 8 4:55PM AEST
No. 4 Hellova Night – Bet Now: $SP.00
Hellova Night will need some luck in running from the wide barrier draw, but he is still the value runner in what is a very open race.
He does have the early speed to go forward from that gate and he does look to have more upside than the rest of this field.
$7 is great value and he can hopefully cap off a big day for Nash Rawiller.
