Horse Racing Daily Tips - Thursday

Best Bets of the Day

The australianbettingsites.net.au team have put forward their three most confident plays of the day. Our horse racing tips and best bets are based on several key factors like recent form, track conditions, barrier draw, odds, recent trials, and much more.

If you have enough time before all the action kicks off, we also recommend you shop around for the best odds. We find that different betting sites may offer different odds for the same runner. This means you could easily pick up more bang for your buck, just by taking a little bit of extra time before placing your bets.

Quick Analysis:

I have to stick with the favourite here. The mare looks to be in great touch, and I can’t see any of these beating her today. Draws barrier six, which isn’t the best for her race style, I think, but she’s a classy runner, and that shouldn’t be enough to stop her. Great trials as of late with Tom Sherry onboard, and he sticks with the 4YO here as well.

Quick Analysis:

Moving across to Ballarat now, and I like the look of Rosa Aotearoa in Race 7. The gelding is currently on the second line of betting with Altermatum holding favouritism at even-money. He has been going through the gear nicely so far this prep, with a second placing by just 0.06L two runs back, and a victory last time out at Mornington over the same trip.

Quick Analysis:

Back to Newcastle now, and I’ll be sticking with the favourite Yabby Pump. Despite being the favourite, the gelding still presents some value, with odds around the $3.60 mark. He does have to lug around the top weight, but apprentice jockey William Stanley makes it 2kg lighter. Finished second last time out, and this looks like an easier race; he should clean up here.

Stats and Insights

  • tip
    Big Sister Ava was narrowly beaten on debut at Kilmore and draws well to go one better here. She’s the favourite in this one and should get the job done in Race 1 at Ballarat.
  • tip
    Apollo Ridge returned with a strong first-up placing at Kembla Grange and looks well-suited in a race lacking tempo. He’s the one to beat in Race 2 at Newcastle.
  • tip
    Majesticity closed strongly at Ararat and looks ideally placed to atone today. She’s the one they’ll have to catch in Race 8 at Ballarat.
