Best Bets of the Day

Here are some of my horse racing best bets at Geelong on Friday. I'm heading to Geelong for my best bet of the day in Race 3. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Late Arrival in Race 8 at Geelong. The track conditions at Geelong are looking good for racing, the track is a good 4 at this stage. Let's get into it! 

Best Tip: Grinzinger Sun #10 Geelong R3

Grinzinger Sun showed form on August 22 at Sale, placing 2nd out of 10 in a Mdn on a soft track, just 0.2 lengths behind Blackberry Bomb (56kg) with 56kg at $17.00. After that race, I think Grinzinger Sun can potentially improve and possibly get the win this time. Previously, 3rd of 8 at Terang Mdn on April 14, 2024 over 1000m. I think it should be able to run well and win.

Best Roughie: Late Arrival #9 Geelong R8

Michael Dee was on board the last run and won over 1500m at Geelong. So I think that's a good form guide for Friday's race and should be tough to beat down the straight. Before that, Late Arrival finished first at Casterton in a Barrier Trial-Open on July 1, 2024, over 1300m. Has a 50% career win rate so it knows how to win. Likes running at Geelong, among the dangers for sure. Likes dry conditions, rates highly. Looked good first-up and should be even fitter now. Racing well at the moment, so I like its chances.

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.
  • Geelong Race 8 - Late Arrival has finished 1st and 2nd in both runs at Geelong racecourse.
  • 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.
