Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 08/11/24

Only Racing has you covered for Friday horse racing action at Albury and Pakenham. We have your best bet of the day as well as a cheeky roughie. Future Fund has caught my eye in Race 8 at Albury. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Divine Crown in Race 6 at Pakenham. The track at Albury is looking in good condition, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Friday. The same can be said for the Pakenham track. Let's get into it!

Comes into this race on the back of a win at Albury over 1400m and Friday’s race is over the same distance. Jockey Josh Richards is forming a nice combo on board with 2 wins and 2 minor placings in 7 starts. Should enjoy the track conditions on Friday as it has won a few times when he is running on good tracks. Had a break after its last win and generally races well when it is fresh. Good odds to have a crack at the win, I reckon.

Divine Crown showed some form at Pakenham last time. In its last start, Divine Crown placed 3rd out of 11 in a BM64 on October 18 over 1400m, on a heavy track, just 3.0 lengths behind Smart Deel (58.5kg) with 61kg at $21.00. Previously, 3rd of 15 at Murray Bridge Gh BM68 on May 25, 2024, over 1800m. Looking at its track record, I like the trend of winning form when it is racing here. Likes running in dry conditions. I think it could be a nice each way bet.

It’s Melbourne Cup week and Only Racing will be your ultimate resource for free Melbourne Cups tips 2024. We have odds, tips, promos and full previews of the racing action from Flemington Racecourse on Tuesday. At the moment, Vauban is the favourite at most betting sites but this could change come race time as the market movers will be sure to be moving around.

This is one of the best times of the year to get access to excellent racing promotions and an old favourite of mine - Bet365 - is my pick of the week. They have you covered for the big race with a 25% boost available for any runner in the field. You can also get your stake back if your bet loses. So I think they’ll be ideal for betting on the Cup.

There are plenty of other racing features too such as odds drift protector, 365 top tote +, 365 tote and more. You can even build a stable of your favourite horses, sort of like a black book feature. I also enjoy betting with the Bet365 app, it has everything you need to have a punt. Enjoy the Cup and hope you pick some winners!
