It’s time to get stuck into some horse racing tips and best bets for today. The team of racing experts here at bettingsitesaustralia.net.au provide our best bets every day of the week, and they include our most confident plays of the day. 

Finding the best horse racing tips is only the first part, though. Once you’ve got your tips, we recommend shopping around at different betting apps, so you can lock in the best price going around. We have put together a list of our top recommended bookies for you.

For today, Sunday, August 3, I have found three runners that I think are due for an excellent race. Along with my tips, I’ve included the recommended bet type, as well as the odds from across multiple bookies.

Best Odds provided

Top Pick: 

3. Cuban Cigar

Recommended Bet Type:

Each-Way

Best Odds Available:

$6.00/$1.65 with Dabble

Quick Analysis:

While Banknote Hustler is the $1.50 favourite at the moment, I’m going with Cuban Cigar. I think he presents a little bit more value, especially as an each-way play. The gelding has trialled fairly well, with a second and a first under his belt. Now, he is looking to translate that form into his first career race. Booking jockey Jay Ford is another plus.

Top Pick: 

1. The Cunning Fox

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$3.00 with VicBet

Quick Analysis:

For Race 4 at Sandown, I’m going with the $3.00 favourite, The Cunning Fox. The gelding has had success at Sandown previously, winning back on June 1, and last time out, he finished third at the same track. His odds have been fairly stable since the markets opened, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see the money come his way.

Top Pick: 

1. Koratora

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$2.50 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

Heading to Gawler now, and the favourite is currently Koratora. It’s easy to see why, as the mare won her last start here at the same track, over 1,200m. That was on a Soft-rated track, and we’re looking at a Heavy-rated track for this one. She has to carry the top weight, but maps well and should dictate how the race plays out.
