Best Bets of the Day

Find the best free horse racing tips and best bets for Friday's racing at Sunshine Coast and Moonee Valley. I'm heading to Sunshine Coast for my best bet of the day in Race 7. Meanwhile, my roughie of the day is Musgrave at Moonee Valley in Race 5. The track conditions at Sunshine Coast are looking good for racing. The track at Moonee Valley is looking in good condition too, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Friday. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Merchant Flyer #1 Sunshine Coast R7

In its last race on the Sunshine Coast on September 29, it came out on top with a winning margin of 3.8 lengths. It was carrying 59kg and held off Warrant (58kg), which was pretty good to watch at $1.65 odds. So, it's looking in good touch for this race. Before that, Merchant Flyer finished first at Sunshine Coast in a Cls 1 on September 15, 2024, over 1400m. Good stats at the distance too, bodes well for Friday. Racing well at the moment and seems to love this track.

Best Roughie: Musgrave #12 Moonee Valley R5

I like the look of Musgrave in Race 5 at Moonee Valley for an each-way bet. It has raced well at the Valley over his career, which includes a win. He also likes the distance. Also, Musgrave has beaten the favourite (Tewkesbury) in this race previously so it could challenge the field down the straight.

Stats and Insights

  • Sunshine Coast has open angled bends which give back markers a good opportunity to come from behind and win.
  • At the Moonee Valley track, the #3 barrier has the most successful win percentage since 2017.
  • 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.
