Check out the free racing tips and best bets for Saturday's racing at Flemington and Wyong. I like the look of New York Lustre at Flemington in Race 5. I also like the look of St Lawrencein Race 8 at Wyong. The track conditions at Flemington are looking good for racing, the track is a good 4 at this stage. The track conditions at Wyong should be nice for racing as well. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: New York Lustre #5 Flemington R5

I’m backing New York Lustre to get the job done in Race 5 at Flemington on Saturday. She has back to back wins under her belt at Seymour. Her latest win was first-up after a spell over 1000m on a good track. Very good stats when it's racing at this 1000m distance. I think it could be a nice safe bet to get the win.

Best Roughie: St Lawrence #4 Wyong R8

St Lawrence comes from the quality Maher stable and I think he’s nice value for punters on Saturday. He’s been spelled after a nice prep at the end of last year. That included back to back wins at Randwick in some quality races. He usually eats up this distance with 2 wins in 4 starts. Also, he loves soft track conditions, only falling out of the top 3 in 1 of 8 career starts.

Stats and Insights

  • 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 Wyong racecourse is near circular, offering runners with more dynamic run styles and those that handle bendy tracks a big advantage, also gives those close to the rail an advantage in sprints.
  • R5 Flemington - New York Lustre has a 40% win career percentage. During her racing career, New York Lustre holds a 80% place percentage too.
  • R8 Wyong - In his career, St Lawrence has won 38.1% of races.
