Best Bets of the Day

On Friday, the racing continues with some expected quality races at Canberra and Mornington. I'm heading to Canberra for my best bet of the day in Race 4. I also like the look of Kirain Race 7 at Mornington. The track is rated a good 5 for racing at Canberra on Friday. The track conditions at Mornington are looking good for racing, the track is a good 4 at this stage. Let's get into the free Australian horse racing tips!

Best Tip: Bombard #4 Canberra R4

In strong form and has good claims to win on Friday. Last start was an almost win, finishing 2nd in a Mdn over 900m at Newcastle. Previously, 2nd of 12 at Queanbeyan Mdn on November 29, 2024 over 1000m. She goes at the same distance on Friday and should be tough to beat.

Best Roughie: Kira #5 Mornington R7

In its last race at Kyneton on December 12, it came out on top with a winning margin of 0.2 lengths. It was carrying 57.5kg and held off Miss Magoo (57.5kg), which was pretty good to watch at $2.50 odds. So, it's looking in good touch for this race. Before that, Kira finished first at Sandown-Lakeside in an Mdn on March 27, 202,4 over 1600m. When Kira has raced at this distance, the trend has been positive. I think it could be a nice safe each way bet.

Betting Sites Bonuses and Promotions

This week the horse racing best bets ride on, with Randwick and Caulfield setting the stage for Boxing Day racing. The marquee events provide excellent value spots as well as some of the most competitive races of the season.

Horse Racing promotions are a huge part when searching for new bookies. They give additional value, they make the betting experience even better and they bring unique features. Promotions vary from an improved offer to better odds on headlined events and can contribute to big returns.

WellBet is one to consider this week for your betting needs. The ones that stand out are the ones that feature the unique 'Mystery Bet' which lets you choose your odds and reveal a surprise choice, making it fun. Aside from that, WellBet offers "First Past the Post", which pays out if your horse is first across the line, but gets beaten as a result of a protest. Now, they also provide the best tote available for those chasing the best returns and serve up the biggest dividend across the three major TABs.

With these features, I think that WellBet appeals to both the seasoned punter and the newcomer, which makes this bookie a strong proposition for punters that are wishing to increase their betting experience.
