Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 29/12/23
Best Tip: Cranbourne - R7 - #1 - Gin O'clock
Gin O’clock is a good horse I think the Hayes have got their hands on. He was brought over from the UK by the boys and has taken a couple runs to get going but after the electrifying win last time out I think he is going to go on with it and whilst he didn’t beat much there has been a subsequent winner out of that race but it was more the dominance he did things with then. He now gets here hard fit and in form.

 | 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: Coffs Harbour - R5 - #9 - The Maxinator
The Maxinator has been running too well to ignore here after recording a very close runner up placing first up off of a 15 week break at Ballina where he put the writing on the wall he then stepped out last time out over the 1400m there and won in fine fashion. Third up now, hard fit, can win again.

Stats and Insights
- Stats at Cranbourne show that barriers four to ten are the best at all distances at Cranbourne
- The longer distances have a steep uphill climb from the 600m to the winning post so look for bigger type horses there.
- The Coffs Harbour racecourse has a strong bias to inside runners up until the 1200m and from distances greater than that we see most runners coming from outside draws
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.
