Horse Racing Tips for The Everest 2024

The 2024 TAB Everest shapes up as one of the most intriguing editions yet, with the widest betting market in the race's eight-year history.

Although not the strongest field we've seen, the mix of diverse form lines, top horses at big odds, and a defending champion requiring two scratchings just to gain a start makes for a fascinating contest.

With barriers and sectional speed likely to play a crucial role, expect an exciting showdown where the three-year-olds may be ready to stamp their mark as serious contenders in Australia’s richest race.

 

 

Track Conditions

The track is rated a Soft 5 but could play firmer with scattered showers in the lead-up.

The rail is in the True position, which should provide a fair racing surface with no obvious bias expected.

Runner by Runner Everest Tips 2024

 #1 I Wish I Win

Barrier: 9 | Weight: 58.5kg

J: L Nolen T: P G Moody & Katherine Coleman

Has a sense of timing coming into this race third-up, but as a six-year-old, he will need a perfectly run race to win from well off the speed.

Current: $6.00 | My Rating: $7.00

 

 #2 Giga Kick 

Barrier: 3 Weight: 58.5kg

J: M Zahra T: Clayton Douglas

The 2022 winner is lightly raced and drawn ideally to find cover midfield.

Not currently at his absolute best, but could peak here. Looks overs.

Current: $14.00 | My Rating: $10.00

 

 

 #3 Private Eye

Barrier: 10 Weight: 58.5kg

J: J Ford T: Joseph Pride

Overcame a tough run second-up and is better than the current price suggests.

Could be a major player with a month between runs and a good trial.

Current: $27.00 | My Rating: $12.00

 

 #4 Bella Nipotina

Barrier: 12 Weight: 56.5kg

J: Craig Williams T: C Maher

A tough and consistent mare but will need softer ground to bring her best.

The speed map is not in her favour.

Current: $9.00 | My Rating: $13.50

 

 

 #5 I Am Me

Barrier: 1 Weight: 56.5kg

J: N Rawiller T: C Maher

Draws well on the fence but is up against a high-class field.

Likely to be outclassed over a hard-run 1200m.

Current: $14.00 | My Rating: $31.00

 

 #6 Stefi Magnetica

Barrier: 6 Weight 56.5kg

J: Zac Lloyd T: Bjorn Baker

Showed a powerful finish first-up but could struggle with the draw and depth of the field.

Current: $14.00 | My Rating: $17.00

 

 #7 Sunshine In Paris

Barrier: 8 Weight 56.5kg

J: Tommy Berry T: Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald

Has the quality to win and is a real value chance.

Will need to find cover from an awkward draw, but if she does, her finishing burst could be lethal.

Current: $11.00 | My Rating: $8.50

 #8 Joliestar

Barrier: 4 Weight: 56.5kg

J: J B Mc Donald x1x13 T: C J Waller

Current: $6.00 | My Rating: $9.00

 

 #9 Growing Empire

Barrier: 7 Weight: 53kg

J: K Mc Evoy T: C Maher

An emerging three-year-old with tactical speed but may find this level too demanding at this stage.

 #10 Traffic Warden

Barrier: 2 Weight: 53kg

J: Jamie Kah T: James Cummings

Suited to 1200m and comes into this race with strong form, including a close second in the Golden Rose.

Should get a perfect run just off the speed and looks the one to beat.

 11. Storm Boy

Barrier: 5 Weight 53kg

J: B Avdulla T: G Waterhouse & A Bott

Ran well in the Golden Rose, but this may be beyond him.

Emergencies

 #13 Overpass

Barrier: 13 Weight 58.5kg

Current: $71.00 | My Rating: $41.00

 

 #14 Think About It

Barrier: 14 Weight 58.5kg

T: Joseph Pride

Unlikely to get a run, and the task would be too tough from a wide gate.

Current: $67.00 | My Rating: $71.00

 

 15. Southport Tycoon

Barrier: 15 58.5kg

T: C Maher

Needs three scratchings to get a run and would be outclassed here.

A longshot emergency with little chance of getting a run, even if he does.
