Best Bets of the Day

Check out the free horse racing tips and best bets for Saturday's racing at Sandown and Randwick. Both meetings have 10 races on the card so it's going to be a huge day of racing. The track at Sandown is a soft 5 and it'll be 16 degrees with little chance of rain. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Let'srollthedice #2 Sandown R7

Let'srollthedice was a longshot, initially priced at $101 and dropping to $51 in its first race, where it stayed at the back. Last time out, it had a perfect run and won, looking much fitter. It's a Group 2 winner and has a good track record in its third-up runs. 

In its first race this season, it finished last of 11 at Caulfield in the G3 Vic Hcp over 1400m on April 6, running on slow ground and finishing 6 lengths behind Here To Shock, carrying 54kg at $51 odds. Second-up, it came from midfield to win by a nose at Rosehill in a Bm94 over 1800m on April 27, beating Premise while carrying 58kg at $9.50 odds. That was an impressive win and it's definitely in the mix again on Saturday.

Best Roughie: Piggyback #13 Randwick R6

Piggyback is running third-up on Saturday at Randwick. First-up, it won by half a length at Orange on April 19 over 1410m on a soft track, beating Eilrahc with 55.5kg at $2.80. Last start, it finished third out of eight at Newcastle in a 3&4yo Bm72 over 1600m on May 11 on a wet track, 3 lengths behind Scarlet Oak with 54kg at $15. Definitely among the winning chances and some good value odds to take advantage of!

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.
