Enjoy the horse racing action with my Friday racing tips. I'm heading to Newcastle for my best bet of the day in Race 2. I also like the look of Mr Assertivein Race 6 at Ballarat. The track at Newcastle is looking in good condition, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Friday. The Ballarat track is looking decent for race day on Friday, it's a soft 6 rating at this stage. Let's get into it!
Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Outishka #2 Newcastle R2
Last run, took down Standing Bear (53.5kg) over 950m at Moree (starting price: $1.90). I think that was an impressive win, so I'm backing Outishka to get the win on Friday, especially from barrier 6 with Mitch Stapleford in the saddle. Mitch has a lot of success on board this horse (4-3-1 in 10 starts). Should enjoy the distance as it has 3 wins from 6 starts. Also, likes the track at Newcastle having won 2 of 4 starts. The track conditions should suit as well, it usually has success running on good tracks.

Best Roughie: Mr Assertive #6 Ballarat R6
Resuming on Friday. Has a positive first-up record in its career. I'm a big fan of Mr Assertive in Race 6 at Ballarat on Friday. On April 19, won over 1000m at Seymour, carrying 59kg. That was nice win, so I believe that Mr Assertive can win on Friday as well. Before that, Mr Assertive finished first at Ballarat in a Mdn on April 3, 2024 over 1000m. Likes running at Ballarat, among the dangers for sure. Very good stats when its racing at this 1000m distance. Good odds for an each-way bet.
