Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Thursday at 12:03 AM Journalists Share Posted Thursday at 12:03 AM What Good Friday Racing 2025 Where Echuca Racing Club – Corner Scott Road and Murray Valley Highway, Echuca, VIC, 3564 When Friday, April 18, 2025 First Race 1pm AEST Visit Dabble Good Friday racing in Victoria heads to Echuca this year, where the $500,000 Country Discovery (1000m) headlines a stacked eight-race meeting. A top of 31 degrees is forecast for race day, and with the rail in its true position, it should mean every runner will get their chance at success if good enough. Public holiday racing from Echuca is set to commence at 1pm AEST. The Country Discovery Tip: Johnny Rocker Johnny Rocker returns off a near 23-week spell and considering he tends to fire fresh from a spell, he’s easy to side with in The Country Discovery. The five-year-old was competitive in much tougher races than this during his spring campaign, and considering he has finished on the heels of Group 1 winner Mornington Glory at his last two fresh runs, he presents great value with . Billy Egan will look to slot in the one-one from barrier nine, and barring any bad luck, Johnny Rocker should prove hard to hold out. The Country Discovery Race 7 – #4 Johnny Rocker (9) 5yo Horse | T: Nick Ryan | J: Billy Egan (56.5kg) Best Bet at Echuca: Miss Winslet Miss Winslet well and truly has her hoof on the till and gets a perfect chance to register a third win at start 16. The four-year-old mare was beaten by the barest of margins at Geelong on April 1 in a case where the winner had the better run in transit, which proved to be the difference. Craig Williams should give the Shamus Award mare the run of the race behind the leaders, and if she holds her recent form, Miss Winslet should be winning the Echuca opener. Best Bet Race 1 – #8 Miss Winslet (4) 4yo Mare | T: Leon & Troy Corstens & Will Larkin | J: Craig Williams (58.5kg) Next Best at Echuca: Alma Rise Alma Rise has not had much luck this time in, but if the breaks go her way on Friday, she should be accounting for this field. The Almanzor mare finished three lengths off Wrote To Arataki in the Group 3 Matron Stakes (1600m) before seeing nothing but backsides in a BM78 at Ballarat last time out. Craig Williams will likely have her settled in the second half of the field, but armed with an electric turn of foot, as long as Alma Rise sees clear air, she should be too classy for her rivals. Next Best Race 6 – #4 Alma Rise (9) 4yo Mare | T: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman | J: Craig Williams (57kg) Friday quaddie tips for Echuca Echuca quadrella selections Friday, April 18, 2025 1-2-3-6-7-8 1-4-8 1-2-4-9-10 2-4-5-10-13 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
