Daily Racing Tips – Tuesday, August 8

Hawkesbury Race 1 (1:05pm)
No. 3 Princess Rayaa

Princess Rayaa has finished in the top four in all of her five career race starts.

The lightly raced four year old mare chased well at Wyong last time out over 1350m and she ran right through the line, suggesting the step up in distance will suit in this event.

Should be nearing peak fitness at this stage of her campaign.

Hawkesbury Race 6 (4:10pm)
No. 1 Lady Harlem

Lady Harlem was competitive in a couple of handy races during her last prep including one at Listed level.

She was moved from John O’Shea to Nathan Doyle and was beaten by just over a length when resuming for the first time in months at Gosford.

Fitter for the run and stepping up in distance, she represents good value at her current price.

Pakenham: Race 5 (3:00pm)
No. 5 Speedtail

Speedtail took a while to debut at the races but the four-year-old was impressive scoring by a length on the synthetic here at Pakenham.

Greg Eurell then sent him to Caulfield in a 3YO Handicap in a handy race where he was beaten just over two lengths.

He’ll find this far easier and looks well placed.

Pakenham: Race 7 (4:00pm)
No. 1 Dance Ready

Dance Ready has been in work for a long time and has been racing consistently without winning recently.

He showed a good turn of foot at Geelong last time out when weaving between runners to get within 2.4 lengths of the winner and he’ll find this event a fair bit easier.

He has the top weight to contend with as well as a tricky barrier but his class will take him a long way.
