After you’ve found the tips you like here at bettingsitesaustralia.net.au, we recommend shopping around at different betting apps to lock in the best odds. Different bookies can sometimes offer different prices for the same runner, so if you have enough time to check our recommended bookies, you should.

We head across multiple tracks for my tips today, and I’ve locked in on three runners that really stand out from the crowd. In the table, you can see my recommended bet type, plus the odds across three different bookies.

Best Odds provided

Top Pick: 

5. Planet Red

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$1.95 with VicBet

Quick Analysis:

In a field of just seven, Planet Red looks the goods to lock in his second career victory in as many attempts. He was drifting before winning at Pakenham to break his maiden, but the market has found him again here. He ran the quickest last 400m and 200m of the day as well. Looks too difficult to beat.

Top Pick: 

16. Saltcoats

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$3.10 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

With several scratchings already, Saltcoats has booked his spot in this field and is currently the favourite. We haven’t seen the gelding in about a month since he finished third in the Listed Winter Challenge. The 5YO is one from one on Heavy-rated tracks, and Zac Lloyd is onboard once again.

Top Pick: 

4. Perfect Picture

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$4.40 with Dabble

Quick Analysis:

In the last today at Sandown, I’m going with Perfect Picture. The 4YO is tackling this one first up, where she has gone one from one. She’s a consistent runner and has a quality record at metro level. She’s the equal-favourite at the time of writing with Dabble. There’s a lot to like.
