Best Bets of the Day 12/01/25

Sunday racing always presents some big chances for punters and Nowra looks to be no different to conclude the first full week of 2025.

Each of the 7 races on the card carry some interesting narratives and OnlyRacing are chasing the very best bets on the card.

Maracaibo Sun - Race 3 - Nowra

The third race on the card promises to be an exciting one and Maracaibo Sun looks to be the one to beat in a congested market.

Winning last time out will be a huge tick in the box for connections and it seems to be the horse in form in this field.

Both Mega Fight and Lulo Link also won last time out but Maracaibo Sun gets our nod here, just for the sheer speed in the tank.

Miss Scoop - Race 6 - Nowra

Arguably the pick of the day here at Nowra is race 6, with plenty of high-quality horses all chasing a much needed win.

We're going for value here, with Miss Scoop, who won impressively at this track last season and was hugely unlucky in its first return to action at Moruya last time out.

Bookies may follow the exciting Luna Jet here but Miss Scoop enjoys life at Nowra and should be bang in the mix at long odds.
