Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 09/08/24
Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Highland Glory #7 Geelong R5
I like the form of Highland Glory for Race 5 at Geelong on Friday. Won at Bendigo over 2200m on July 25. Before that, Highland Glory finished first at Geelong in a BM64 on July 12, 2024, over 2447m. Likes running at Geelong, among the dangers for sure. Decent record fourth-up so I like it each way.
Best Roughie: Snow On Her #10 Geelong R10
Last start, beat Party At Artie's (69.5kg) at Casterton over 1400m at the starting price of $2.90. That was a good win and I like Snow On Her on Friday too, especially with Tom Prebble on board from Barrier 7. Before that, Snow On Her finished first at Geelong in a BM64 on July 12, 2024, over 1430m. Distance shouldn't be an issue either, loves running 1400m. In good form at the moment, so hopefully that continues.
Stats and Insights
- The Geelong course proper is known as a track that gives every horse its chance as the circumference is 2043 metres with a straight distance of 400 metres.
- 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.
- Geelong has a 20% chance of rain on Friday and the track rail is true entire circuit.
Best Racing Promotions
Horse racing promotions and offers are great for boosting your betting profits so I always recommend looking out for them. Aussie betting sites roll out some unique promotions during the racing season, especially during the Spring Carnival. One of my personal favourites is BetRoyale, which offers same race multi for Thoroughbred racing and other features. Such as mystery bets, blended bets, and first past-the-post payouts. Also, I’ve noticed they can offer higher odds for roughies, which is always nice.
Betting sites and their promos often change, especially around major races or events like the Melbourne Cup or AFL Finals series. Head over to betroyale.com.au to see what's currently on offer. I think you'll find it worthwhile.
During this busy week of racing, I highly recommend BetRoyale. They offer a wide range of betting features, so you can get some of the best odds for racing across Australia. Plus, BetRoyale provides solid racing markets and bet types for racing in Australia or overseas.
