Before betting on these tips, it’s a good idea to check around with multiple different betting apps, so you can find which one is offering the best odds. Different bookies may offer different odds for the same runner. This means you could pick up some easy value by checking out multiple bookies.

For today, July 8, 2025, I have found three runners that I think are due for an excellent run. I’ve included the odds of these runners across three different bookies, so you can easily see where the best value is.

Top Pick: 

3. He'sthechief

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$2.90 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

With back-to-back third placings, I think He’sthechief looks primed for this maiden win here at Muswellbrook in Race 1. In his run two back at Dubba, he ran the fastest final 200m of the card, and he managed to beat home two runners that have since gone on to win. This looks like the race for him.

Top Pick: 

2. Claymore Mine

Recommended Bet Type:

Each-Way

Best Odds Available:

$4.80/$2.10 with Dabble

Quick Analysis:

Going around the favourite here, and while there are only seven runners in this one, I still think each-way is the way to go with Claymore Mine. The mare has been performing very well so far this prep, with two wins and a second place in her last three runs. Last time out, she won at the same track.

Top Pick: 

4. Empress Tsarina

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$3.60 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

With a career record of 4:0-2-1, Empress Tsarina has been good without managing to break through for that elusive first win. I think she has an excellent chance here in Muswellbrook. She finished strongly last time out to finish second, just 0.8L off the favourite. She gets the winkers on for the first time. There’s a lot to like.
