Best Tip: Eagle Farm - R7 - #4 - Princess Grace
I think that this is Mr Brightsides’ race to lose and if you were following me two weeks ago on Memsie Stakes weekend at Caulfield I tipped Princess Grace to roll him there and she nearly did. Well, depends how you define nearly; she set third on the leaders back through the run before cutting back inside under Shinn’s steering and starting a powerful run only to be held up at a crucial stage in the straight and when she got clear air again she was super strong through the line to finish second only to Mr Brightside. She will be approaching his peak now third up, the extra 200m looks good as she has never been unsighted in seven runs at the mile with three wins and the rest placings. I think that she can definitely turn the tides now.

*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: Eagle Farm - R7 - #10 - Venturer
Venturer is a smart horse for Tony Gollan who looks to be working towards a win and isn’t far away from another. She debuted over this trip at the Sunny Coast when drawn off the track but overcame that draw to win extremely sharply. Gollan is obviously backing her with a bit of confidence to bring her into town now and can’t knock any decisions he makes, especially in his hometown, so watch what the market does with her.

Stats and Insights
- Maher and Eustace are the top trainers at Flemington Racecourse so far this season and historically (last two seasons), they have a bunch of favourites and second favourites running tomorrow so watch for those I have outlined in my extensive Flemington tips.
- Chris Waller is the top trainer at Randwick and local representative, he sends an army of horses tomorrow to the course so watch for those that I have outlined in my Randwick Tips and others.
- Randwick is a very wide track with a good run-in that makes it one of the fairest tracks around. It’s hard to say backmarkers are advantaged, but they are the closest thing to advantaged at Randwick Racecourse
- Eagle Farm has little barrier bias as the track has quite even wide turns and as such it is good to look for promising backmarkers for the long straight
Best Horse Racing Betting Sites
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.
