Today’s Horse Racing Tips - 7th May 2025
Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for May 07.
Australian thoroughbred TAB meetings are today held at Warwick Farm, Caulfield Heath, Eagle Farm, Oakbank and Ascot.
WARWICK FARM: RACE 5 @ 2:35 PM
SIGIRIYA ROCK (7) is a talented three-year-old but found a couple of Group 3 races during the Randwick carnival beyond him, most recently in the 2000m Frank Packer Plate. Very fit gelding back to his favoured distance. Can take care of these. OUR EMPRESS ZOE (4) met with good support and duly turned things around with a narrow win over 1550m at Canterbury last time out. Specialist miler who should hold that good form at just the fourth run back. SEAFALL (5) was fourth when resuming in the same race at Canterbury. Rawiller replacing a 2kg claimer is noteworthy. STAR IMPACT (10) can improve dropping back a little in grade on her last run. LITTLE JEANIE (13) hasn't done much in her two appearances this prep but can improve out to the mile.
SELECTIONS: Keen on Sigiriya Rock.

CAULFIELD HEATH: RACE 5 @ 2:45 PM
CHANGING COLOURS (2) looks hard to beat. Fitter for two good runs in, the latest hitting the line hard in an eye-catching run. Looks ready. SUANCES (10) was a winner two back to get off the mark then was well fancied to go on with it but was featured heavily in the stewards for the ride when sixth at Mornington. Better than that and with a change of jockey might be worth another try. JUST GLAMOUROUS (5) was placed in tougher two back then tackled the Country Oaks over 2100m and didn't run it out. Back to a mile and can atone. CHARMING DEEL (1) is another coming off a forgivable run. This is easier and best measures up. MISS WINSLET (6) gets some weight relief on honest form and could be value.
SELECTIONS: Changing Colours looks ready.
EAGLE FARM: RACE 3 @ 1:43 PM
The penny has dropped for import CHILLAXING (4) who has strung back-to-back wins together and is racing with a lot of confidence now. Winning hoop Harley sticks in the saddle and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Rates the testing material. ICHIBAN (7) put in an improved performance last time out and rates a genuine top-three contender on best form. Must be included. WAVERLEY (6) has placed two of three over this distance range and may earn some minor money again. RING BEARER (3) rounds out the selections with the 2kg claim.
SELECTIONS: Chillaxing to bring up the hat-trick.
OAKBANK: RACE 6 @ 4:10 PM
BEURRE ROUGE (8) drops sharply in grade after running an honest race in the LR Hills Railway Stakes and wasn't disgraced there, only beaten 3L behind a smart one. She's been consistent throughout the campaign and strikes a more winnable assignment. Expect her to take some stopping. ALOHA BLUE (5) is flying this prep and should be hitting her top now. Might look to be a bit more conservative from the draw this time but should get every chance to pounce late. SO IMMACULATE (11) returned with a bang at Clare when leading pillar-to-post. The horse she fended off has since come out and won. Gets in low at the weights with the 3kg claimer sticking, and with natural improvement second-up she should be very competitive. HIDDEN WITNESS (9) returns. Has run into some handy opposition in her three starts. Milnes teaming with Clarken & O'Shea reads favourably. Keeping safe.
SELECTIONS: Beurre Rouge to win.
ASCOT: RACE 6 @ 5:40 PM
BARECOVE ROCK (5) just missed in a blanket finish on debut before scoring a 0.4L victory at Pinjarra most recently. The form out of that race has worked out well and this looks to set up nicely for him once again. Can work through the grades and notch up another victory. MOHEGAN RULER (3) never really got into the race last start at Pinjarra when well back and should appreciate the rise in trip. Pike remains in the saddle which is a positive sign and while he's drawn wide again, he can finish off much better with the run under his belt. L'IL CAPRI (6) ran over the top to score by 0.9L last start at this track and trip and is on the 7-day back-up. Cooper hops on board now claiming 3kg and while the inside barrier is a niggle, she looks a progressive type. SPORTS TALK (2) is better than he showed last start when right up in grade and is better placed here. SO NATAYA (4) won't be far away with CJP riding from a favourable gate.
SELECTIONS: Barecove Rock can go on with the job.
