Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 28/08/25

We’re building to the weekend and have found some great plays for today to build your bank for the most important racing day of the week. Our horse racing tips and best bets are now available and include our three most confident plays of the day from our bettingsitesaustralia.net.au experts.

Figuring out who to bet on is only one piece of the puzzle. You also must decide which bookie to bet with. There are plenty of betting apps available in Australia, but we have a list of recommended bookies that really stand out from the crowd. Make sure you check out that list before finalising any bets.

After studying the race cards for today, I’ve found three runners that look set for a big performance. You’ll find my tips, recommended bet types and odds across three bookies in this section.

Best Odds provided

Top Pick: 

12. Fastoso

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$2.50 with VicBet

Quick Analysis:

My money’s on Fastoso to break his maiden in his third attempt. Kicked off his career with a second at Seymour by just 0.75L. Backed that up with a third placing last time out at Sandown Lakeside. For this one, Fastoso looks better suited, and he gets an additional 200m. There’s a lot to like.

Top Pick: 

14. Three Reel Roses

Recommended Bet Type:

Each-Way

Best Odds Available:

$6.00/$2.25 with Dabble

Quick Analysis:

With back-to-back second placings, Three Reel Roses looks like one of the in-form runners in this one, and is still going around at each-way odds. The mare couldn’t get the job done as the favourite last time out, but I think she can atone here, and you’re getting more value while you’re at it.

Top Pick: 

4. The Lucky Chip

Recommended Bet Type:

Each-Way

Best Odds Available:

$6.00/$2.10 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

I’ve found another decent each-way play for today, this time at Northam. The Lucky Chip has been there or thereabouts in his latest three runs, but hasn’t managed to break through for the win. He was the favourite last time out and ended up third, 2.59L off the leader. This one is an open race, and he presents decent value.
