Oakbank Tips April 19

Klose’s Foodland Queen Of The Hills Tips (Race 3)

Oakbank Value Bet - Race 3 No. 7 Tosen Water

The five-year-old is without a win since saluting over 1200m when contesting a 1200m event held on a sound surface at Morpehttville in November 2023.

While unable to win in the interim the mare has recorded some good efforts in defeat including in a Benchmark 68 handicap on the Parks track at Morphettville in November.

The selection returned to action with a length third in a Benchmark 0-64 handicap on the Parks course at Morphettville when racing on good going earlier this month.

Teagan Voorham, on board three times last prep is set to ride for the first time this prep here with her mount having forecast underfoot conditions to suit jumping from next to the rail.

The pick gets in off a nice racing weight here and having raced from mid-division last time out she looks capable of breaking through to record the fourth win of her career.

Coopers Brewery Onkaparinga Cup Tips (Race 6)

Oakbank Best Bet - Race 6 No. 8 Beach Pad

Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor’s performer has shown improvement with racing this prep having suffered a five-and-a-half-length defeat when eighth of nine at Morphettville Parks first up this prep.

The four-year-old beat just one rival home when racing over 1250m in a Benchmark 0-66 handicap that day and took a step forward when fifth over 1525m subsequently.

The son of Bondi returned to winning ways when stepped up to 2050m in a Class 1 plate event at Strathalbyn last month.

The selection came home over three lengths clear of his nearest rival on that occasion and he went on to complete a double in a Morphettville Benchmark 64 handicap over 2028m last time out.

Taylor Johnstone’s two-kilogram claim is a positive in this contest with the step up in distance expected to suit.

While the pick has forecast underfoot conditions to suit, a slight softening of the going would be no issue and he is taken to complete a hat-trick.

Harcourts Adelaide Hills Railway Stakes (Listed) Tips (Race 8)

Oakbank Feature Bet - Race 8 No. 3 Sir Sway

A three-time winner last prep the gelding resumed with a victory by ju

st over half-a-length when contesting an 1100m Listed event at Morphettville last month.

The four-year-old failed to complete a four-timer stepped up to 1200m for a similar contest at the same venue subsequently.

The pick was beaten just under two lengths on that occasion and registered a respectable effort despite finishing only eighth in the Group 3 Sportsbet R N Irwin Stakes at Morphettville last weekend.

The son of Sir Prancealot was beaten just over three lengths by Group 1 scorer Asfoora on that occasion and the drop back to Listed company is in his favour.

A wide barrier isn’t ideal here however he has gone well from double-figure barriers in the past including when successful at Morphettville first up this prep.

Trained by Sue & Jason Jaensch the selection boasts a strong record over this distance and looks capable of recording his ninth win in seventeen career starts.

Ray White Real Estate Handicap (Heat 8 Of Festival State Sprint Series) Tips (Race 9)

Oakbank Next Best Bet - Race 9 No. 6 Beauty Bound

The daughter of Sebring ticks plenty of boxes here including having the distance to suit with all three of her previous wins having come over this trip.

Two of those triumphs came last prep including when victorious by over two lengths in a Class 1 contest held on good going at the start of November.

While the mare failed to make an impact dropped to 1000m at Morphettville Parks subsequently she returned to winning ways in a Benchmark 68 handicap at Gawler in December.

Phillip Stokes’ representative was spelled following that effort and while she has been unable to win in three first up efforts in the past she has placed second twice.

The selection is a versatile type with regard to tactics having tracked the speed at Morphettville and been ridden cold at Gawler for her two most recent wins.

Apprentice Taylor Johnstone is expected to have options tactically from barrier two and her mount looks up to resuming with a win.
