Racing returns to Scone racecourse and Ballarat racecourse for what has shaped up to be really solid cards of Friday racing and I am very keen on some particular races at each track. I have posted full length free horse racing tips articles on our website so definitely check those out for in depth write ups on three races for each of the cards but in this article I have picked  a best bet and roughie of the day as well where you can get the bets odds across our betting apps  and then also outlined our best promotions across the aussie betting sites.In the final part of the article you should find some helpful track insights for both the racecourses which should assist your horse racing betting. We also have a full length exotics tips article posted on our site where we look to pick up some more lucrative bets! Follow me below for another great day of racing this Friday!

Best Tip: Ballarat - R5 - #7 - Precious Charm

Precious Charm has only had one career start but if she can overcome second up syndrome I think that she looks very well placed off the back of that start to win again. The debut came in a maiden race at Donald about a fortnight ago over this distance where she set third before taking over at the 200m and being dominant to the line. The time and splits read well and she will have more to offer, Meech on looks good, top chance.

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: Scone - R4 - #1 - Island Legend

Island Legend is a smart horse for the Williams stable who looks to have resumed in very good order off the back of a 25 week spell after changing camps to Holly from Terry Croft and she resumed at Armidale over the 1100m where she did very well with a nice trail in to start a powerful run in the straight and looked the winner, only to be claimed late by a smart horse. She will have plenty of upside only second up now off that break and strikes a winnable race.

Best Racing Promotions

Horse racing betting is always further advantaged for the punter via promotions which assist punters in getting an edge over betting sites. For racing these promotions are often extensive and frequent across the aussie betting apps and provide you more ‘outs’ to your bet that you wouldn’t normally be afforded.

Punterspal has stuck out to me in the last little while amongst the Aussie betting sites that offer horse racing promotions and is one that I would consider signing up to. As we are in full swing for the Group 1 races, Saturday’s become very useful to take advantage of the heightened promotions during the period.

On our website we have a Punterspal review that goes in depth into the bookmaker and their advantages and disadvantages as well as a Vicbet  and Palmerbet review which are bookmakers I also favour in terms of their promotions.

Promotions do tend to change frequently amongst the Aussie betting sites so be sure to check onlyracing.com.au to stay updated on the latest promotions.
