Best Bets of the Day

Only Racing has you covered for Saturday horse racing action at Randwick and we have free Flemington tips too. We have your best bet of the day as well as a cheeky roughie. I like the look of Snow In May at Randwick in Race 6. Meanwhile, my roughie of the day is Mostly Cloudy at Flemington in Race 7. At Randwick, the track conditions should be nice for race day, it's a good 4 rating at the moment. The track conditions at Flemington are looking good for racing, the track is a good 4 at this stage. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Snow In May #2 Randwick R6

Snow In May finished second last start with Kerrin McEvoy on board at Randwick. Previously, 1st of 9 at Newcastle Cls 1 on August 29, 2024 over 1200m. Loves this track as it has yet to finish outside the top 3. Has had success before in dry conditions so the track conditions should suit. It's in good form at the moment, so hopefully that continues. 100% place rate in it’s racing career thus far so it rarely lets you down.

Best Roughie: Mostly Cloudy #9 Flemington R7

Just finished behind the places in its last start, finishing 4th out of 9 on September 14 at Flemington on a heavy track. I think the track conditions on Saturday should be much more suitable. It probably didn’t like the heavy track and as such, it has plenty of success in good conditions. Seems to like Flemington when the track is in this condition as it finished 2nd in May and 3rd in March this year. Good odds for an each-way bet.

Stats and Insights

  • Randwick is a very wide track with a good run-in that makes it one of the fairest tracks around. It’s hard to say backmarkers are advantaged, but they are the closest thing to advantaged at Randwick Racecourse.
  • Flemington's long straight track can sometimes favour horses drawn towards the inside or outside of the track, depending on the rail position and prevailing track conditions. Betting on horses that suit the current track bias can be advantageous.
  • The first 3-4 races in most meetings are called "Maidens" and these races are usually risky and unpredictable. This is because the runners are usually making their debut or have only had a few starts. So it's advisable to stay from these races unless you have a good bankroll.
