Punters get good value odds for the two Kiwi meetings, and we have betting tips for the early races on the card.

Te Rapa Racing Tips

Race 1. (9:10) Listen Live Sportnation Maiden Hurdle (2800m)

#6 – Chester Boy @ $3.30

John Wheeler has a good record with his jumping stable, and Chester Boy looks for consecutive wins after scoring over just 1400m last start.

It didn’t take long for the six-year-old to step up to the jumping circuit, and he should have more flat speed than most in this race.

The $3.30 odds are likely to firm on race day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (9:42) Fairview Motors Waikato Hurdle (3200m)

#4 – Squire @ $3.20

BET NOW

Boasting two wins from his last three starts is Squire, who dug deep to score at Te Rapa last time out.

The five-year-old son of Savile Row owns three wins from six jumps starts, so punters are backing a runner with a 50% win rate.

That’s good enough for us, so put him on top in a tight field.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (10:18) RDA Charity Raceday Wednesday Maiden (1400m)

#10 – Miss Parker @ $7.00

BET NOW

Miss Parker is a runner worth following until she wins a race after placing in five of her 10 career starts.

The three-year-old filly by Circus Maximus made good ground at Ellerslie last start, which should be a tidy form guide.

Barrier five is ideal, and the $7 odds are better than expected.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (10:50) Andrew Leadbeater Memorial BM65 (1300m)

#4 – Le Jacques Cartier @ $8.50

BET NOW

Le Jacques Cartier looked good when winning two back at Pukekohe, and he didn’t lose admirers when placing last time out.

The three-year-old son of Astern was only a length behind the winner, and he will be stronger with a spell under his belt.

2kg comes off his back, so he’ll get his chance to win.

Stake: 1 Unit

Wanganui Racing Tips

Race 1. (9:27) Wanganui Function Centre 2YO (1200m)

#4 – Sword of Steel @ $2.70

BET NOW

Sword of Steel comes from the powerful Te Akau stable, and he could make a winning debut for the Tangerine.

The two-year-old son of Sword of State scored a trial win at Avondale, and he has headed south for a slightly easier debut race than up north.

2kg comes off his back, which only helps his winning hopes.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (10:02) Manawatu-Wanganui Civil Contractors NZ Maiden (1600m)

#2 – Borrowed Time @ $5.50

BET NOW

Borrowed Time has been in work for some time during his first prep, but he’s fit and he could cap it off with a maiden win.

The three-year-old owns two placings from six starts, and his run for fourth last time out is a good betting guide.

He gets all favours off the inside draw, which could be the winning of the race.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (10:36) AB Equipment Maiden (1600m)

#4 – On Shaw @ $16.00

BET NOW

On Shaw is fresh up and ready to run a race at nice odds. He owns three placings from nine starts, and he’s never too far away.

The five-year-old son of Niagara should break through for a maiden win this winter, so he’s worth backing until he does.

Hassman takes 2kg off his back, and at $16, every little bit helps.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (11:11) Neilo BM65 (1600m)

#5 – Outer Focus @ $6.00

BET NOW

Kevin Myers lines up Outer Focus, who has plenty of ability, but he doesn’t always show it on race day.

The enigmatic type comes off a good second placing fresh up, and if he can repeat that effort, he should go close against this field.

Dropping to 55.5kg makes him a good bet.

Stake: 1 Unit
