Best Bets of the Day

The australianbettingsites.net.au team have put in the work for you, finding their three most confident plays of the day. Our horse racing tips and best bets are based on several key factors, and we would never put forward a runner that we wouldn’t get on ourselves.

After you’ve made your decision on which runner/s you’re going to back, the next step is to decide which bookie you’re going to bet with. There are a lot of options in Australia, so make sure you check out our list of recommended betting sites before you make your final choice.

Quick Analysis:

Palatial Prince is a little forgotten in the market, but I reckon he is worth a chance based on his previous performance, especially for a top-three finish. The gelding finished second at Rockhampton, just 0.41L off the leader. Jockey Hannah Richardson is back in the saddle, and the pair have a 12:2-2-3 record together. One of the more competitive runners, I think.

Quick Analysis:

Have to stick with the favourite here, who is currently going around at even money. Shenandoah River broke her maiden here at Scone last time out. She draws barrier one, which is ideal, and the drop down to 900m shouldn’t be any issue either. She should be controlling this one all the way through again.

Kyneton - Race 9, 5:35 PM

Top Pick: 

7. Shanghai Venture

Recommended Bet Type:

Each-Way

Quick Analysis:

Heading to the last at Kyneton, and I think I’ve found a decent each-way play with Shanghai Venture, who is currently on the third line of betting with Dabble. She gets no favours with the wide draw, but is a winner (and multiple placegetter) this prep. She’ll have to carry extra weight, but a top-three finish is certainly within reach.

Stats and Insights

  • tip
    Deel Me A Queen is flying with two wins from her past three and stays in a suitable grade. She looks the one to beat in Race 1 at Scone.
  • tip
    One Thing Counts backs up quickly and draws perfectly for this step up to 1,640m. Looks primed to strike in Race 7 at Roma.
  • tip
    Giant’s Reprieve smashed them first-up at Wangaratta and looks primed to go on with it. He’s the one they’ll have to catch in Race 8 at Kyneton.
