Best Bets of the Day

Only Racing has you covered for Friday horse racing action at Stawell and Wagga. We have your best bet of the day as well as a cheeky roughie. Boyfromwye has caught my eye in Race 6 at Stawell. I also like the look of Zontawahin Race 4 at Wagga. The track at Wagga and Stawell are both looking in good condition, they are rated a good 4 for race day on Friday. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Boyfromwye #1 Stawell R6

I like the form of Boyfromwye for Race 6 at Stawell on Friday. Won at Stawell over 2004m on December 14. Before that, Boyfromwye finished first at Bendigo in an RST64 on December 3, 2024, over 1600m. Loves this track as it has yet to finish outside the top 3. The trip should suit, it has been good before over this distance.

Best Roughie: Zontawah #4 Wagga R4

I like the look of Zontawah in Race 4 at Wagga on Friday. Previously won at Wagga Riverside over 1800m, carrying 60kg. That was a really good win, so I think Zontawah should be a good bet on Friday too. Before that, Zontawah finished first at Canberra in a BM65 on December 6, 2024 over 2000m. The 1800m should be nice for this runner on Friday. Not a lot of queries with this one, it should be able to run a place or even get the win.
