Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 05/04/25

On Saturday, the racing continues with some expected quality races at Caulfield. Statuario has caught my eye in Race 5 at Caulfield. I also like the look of Miss Ariain Race 9 at Caulfield. The track at Caulfield is in great shape for racing, sitting at a good 4 rating. Let's get into the free Australian horse racing tips!

A top choice among punters, Statuario should be widely considered the best bet. A gritty third-place run last time, keeping within striking distance. Last start performance, Statuario came 3rd over 2040m at Moonee Valley. Carried 57kg, guided by John Allen, and started at $15.00. A favourable barrier that could give him the chance to stay out of traffic and find clear running. Jockey John Allen will be in the saddle this Saturday. Has a great winning strike rate. Trainer E & D Browne has given him the all clear to run on Saturday. Good track form is impressive with 2 wins from 6 starts and has won fourth-up before.

My roughie to watch on Saturday will be Miss Aria. A finish outside the top four, but not without merit - could be one to watch. Only wins now and then but has ability. Has shown it can perform on a good track, but needs to bring its best. Handles good ground well, boasting 3 wins from 12 runs. Should get a cushy run from this barrier, which could make all the difference. With Harry Coffey on board, expect a tactically astute ride this Saturday. This jockey always brings out the best in their horse. Fair performer over this trip (1400m), though not a standout. Competitive at the trip, placing in 62.5% of 8 starts, with 2 wins.
