Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 03/11/25

Just one day to go before the Melbourne Cup, and the australianbettingsites.net.au team have put together their horse racing tips and best bets for all of today’s racing action. Our tips are updated daily by racing experts who have been working in the industry for many years.

Once you’ve locked in your horse racing tips, the next step is to find the best bookie to place your bets. You have a lot of options in Australia, so make sure you check out our recommended list of top betting sites. We think it’s a good idea to shop around with different bookies, so you can find the best odds.

Today’s action comes across a couple of different tracks around Australia, and I’ve gone through all the races to find the runners that stand out from the pack. For today, these are the runners you want to be on:

Best Odds provided

Top Pick: 

1. Rentessis

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$1.85 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

Rentessis’s short career so far has been great, and after going down as the favourite last time out at Bendigo, I think he can redeem himself here. He’ll have to lug around the top weight, but looking at this field, he is the clear class runner. Jake Duffy has been on board for both career runs so far, and they draw barrier two, so there’s a lot to like.

Top Pick: 

6. Inquisitor

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$2.00 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

Inquisitor opened at $2.15 and is now even money; it wouldn’t surprise me to see the shorten a smidge more. So, while $2.00 isn’t exactly anything to write home about, it’s decent enough in my eyes. He’s another who was narrowly beaten as the favourite last time out, and he gets a favourable draw. He looks well placed to break his maiden.

Top Pick: 

3. Macedonian Marvel

Recommended Bet Type:

Place

Best Odds Available:

$3.00 with Dabble

Quick Analysis:

Heading to the last today at Ballarat, and I’ll be on Macedonian Marvel. If you want to take a risk, take Macedonian Marvel to win or each-way, but I’ll be playing it safe, because the $3.00 place odds are still good value. The gelding boasts back-to-back placings, and I think he’ll enjoy the 1,400m that’s on offer today. He draws well, so watch for him in the closing stages.
