The Warrnambool Racing Carnival kicks off this Tuesday, the 2nd of May with a cracking ten race card headlined by the Brierly Steeple in Race 6 while North of the border, Kembla Grange takes centre stage with a seven race card. We've got our tips for every race including our best bet and best value below. 

WARRNAMBOOL RACING TIPS

R1 - Hale Soriano
R2 - He's A Genius / Unabashed EW
R3 - Pearl De Vere
R4 - Lord Fandango
R5 - Je Suis Tycoon / Splashette EW
R6 - Gold Medals / Western Kingdom EW
R7 - Miss Benedetta
R8 - Save Me Ned
R9 - Lady Selkirk / Passover EW
R10 - Boss Coni

Best Bet: Race 4 Lord Fandango

Won well last start which was only his second start in Australia. That was in this grade over 2000m and he should be even better suited up to 2400m here. If he handles the wet he's very hard to beat at a good price.

Best Value: Race 6 Western Kingdom

Has placed over the distance, looks set to peak third up from a spell and loves the heavy ground having never missed a place in four goes. Smerdon/Mott looks a handy combination.

KEMBLA GRANGE RACING TIPS

R1 - La Chatte
R2 - Commonwealth
R3 - Tswalu
R4 - I Am Lexus EW
R5 - Alert By Sea
R6 - Emperor's Way
R7 - Pygmy

Best Bet: Race 3 Tswalu

Talented horse that looks up to better races than this. Better suited here than what she was first up and that was a reasonable form race.

Best Value: Race 4 I Am Lexus

Wide open maiden with a huge field and plenty of first starters. Robl brings this as his only runner today after just the one trial which was a nice win. Draws horribly in 19 but can run a good race at a big price.
