I've lined up some tips at horse racing betting sites for Thursday’s meeting at Bendigo. I like the look of Mantua at Bendigo in Race 6. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Reprisal in Race 8 at Bendigo. The track conditions at Bendigo are looking good for racing. Let's get into it!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 29/08/24
Best Bets of the Day
Mantua #8 Bendigo R6
Ethan Brown was on board last run and won over 1000m at Cranbourne. So I think that's a good form guide for Thursday's race and should be tough to beat down the straight. Before that, Mantua finished first at Bendigo in a BM58 on July 11, 2024 over 1000m. I think its a real genuine each way chance.
Best Roughie: Reprisal #3 Bendigo R8
In its last run, this horse had some trouble at Sandown, finishing last. However, 2nd of 12 at Flemington Open on July 20, 2024 over 1400m and almost got the win. If it can produce something similar on Thursday, I think it could win. Also, good record at the track, so watch out for it on Thursday. Has had success when running on soft tracks too, winning 2 of 6 starts.
Stats and Insights
- The Bendigo Racecourse is a very spacious circuit with long straights (24m width) and well-cambered turns (6% Camber) which makes it a great course for up and in runners and also lends an opportunity to backmarkers to come on strong.
- The Bendigo Racecourse has chutes for the 1100m and 1600m that sees runners go around one full 180 degree turn and generally sees rails in runners go over the best at these distances.
- 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.
Best Racing Promotions
Promotions and offers are always a great way to get an edge at Aussie betting sites. For this week’s racing, I like the look of ChaseBet and their horse racing promos. They have you covered if you’re after money back bonuses this week. So if you’re runner doesn’t finish first, you may be eligible for a bonus back. This usually applies to every race in Australia during this week so get on board!
I also like racing betting at ChaseBet for other reasons. Such as their odds are really competitive. I’ve found they can offer a lot higher odds and that’s always a big plus for a betting site. There is also a price pump feature that can give you even better odds. So you can potentially make more profit in the long term while using this site. Along with same race multi, exotics, a full form guide, speed maps and more, they’re doing a good job for racing punters.
It’s important to take advantage of promos and offers as soon as possible, since they can change very quickly. Daily promos are available now, take up these offers today!
