Daily Racing Tips – Friday, March 18

The Valley: Race 4 (7:45pm AEDT)
No. 5 Captain Corelli

Captain Corelli takes his place in this contest third-up and ready to peak.

The Mick Price & Mick Kent Jnr-trained gelding returned a nice fresh effort to finish third, beaten only a length here at The Valley, and he was luckless in a decent race at Pakenham last time.

Getting out to the Cox Plate trip at this point of his prep looks ideal, and he’s drawn to receive a lovely run under Mark Zahra.

The Valley: Race 5 (8:15pm AEDT)
No. 8 Tycoon Humma

Tycoon Humma’s return to the races was very pleasing, and I am confident that she can go on with the job at a nice price in tonight’s 55 Second Challenge Heat.

The Capitalist filly stamped herself as a filly to follow when debuting for consecutive wins, including the Listed Festival Stakes in February last year, but she went amiss during his spring prep.

Tycoon Humma mustered a lovely turn of foot to strike at the midweeks at Sandown last month, and she’ll take plenty of improvement into this contest.

The Valley: Race 6 (8:45pm AEDT)
No. 3 Superium

The Abell Stakes looks a very winnable race for a horse like Superium.

Superium has proven to be a bit of a costly horse for punters in recent season, but I’ve been quite impressed with him improvement this time in, and he takes his place in this contest following a smart third placing behind Bermadez at Flemington.

He’s rock-hard fit, and he’s another whom we can have something on each-way at around the $10 mark.

The Valley: Race 7 (9:15pm AEDT)
No. 13 El Patroness

I’ve become quite a fan of El Patroness, and she is the one that I want to be with in the Alister Clark Stakes.

El Patroness was excellent during her recent spring prep, winning the Listed Super Impose Stakes and only just missing in the Neds Classic, most notably.

She has filled the minors in two starts back this time, including a nice effort under Jamie Kah in the Autumn Classic last time out, and she looks beautifully placed to peak this week.
