Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 17/11/23
Best Tip: Canterbury - R1 - #4 - Mogwai
Mogwai looks like he’s going to be tough to beat here unless he bombs out. He’s had two runs this time in for the Godolphin stable and has come very close in each of them with two runner up placings, both at Kensington at the midweeks and both in some strong competition. Back a bit in depth now, hard fit, surely wins.

 | BEST OF THREE TOTES |
*The Best Tote bet type pays bettors the highest dividend declared by the three national totes. The VIC TAB, NSW TAB and UBet. This likely means that there aren't fixed odds available at the time of writing this on that bookmaker and there likely will be.
Best Roughie: Moonee Valley - R8 - #11 - Lazy Susan
Lazy Susan should be competitive here. She’s come across to the Beddgood stable from Maher and Eustace and really seems to be enjoying life under Gavin after winning on debut for him she has put in another two meritful runs with the most recent of which being a very close placing at Moe and now comes into this hard fit, finds a beatable contest and is ready to win again.

Stats and Insights
- There is a very clear frontrunning bias at Moonee Valley even up until the staying distance of 2000m+, when considering between two selections see where they map to be in the run.
- Canterbury is a much tighter track than most NSW courses, giving significant advantage to close on pacers and those close to the rail in general. It also favours late rails-in-run horses due to the tight turning nature.
- Chris Waller sends an army of runners to Canterbury Park tomorrow and is one of the top trainers at the course so watch for his runners there tomorrow.
Best Racing Promotions
Promotions have historically been a great way for bettors to gain an advantage over betting sites by providing an edge to your bet. For racing specifically these promotions can be extensive in providing you some form of ‘outs’ to your bet that you wouldn’t normally receive.
Palmerbet, in recent weeks, has stood out to me across the Aussie betting sites that offer racing promotions and is one that I would take a look at, especially for big race days that feature Group 1 races and Saturday’s in general.
On our site we have a Palmerbet Review that goes in depth into the bookmaker as well as a Vicbet and Punterspal Review amongst some of the other top bookmakers that frequently have promotions.
Promotions tend to change regularly, so it is important to sign up to these betting sites to stay updated on the latest applicable promotions.
