Best Roughie: Too Darn Discreet #2 Flemington R8

I'm a big fan of Too Darn Discreet in Race 8 at Flemington on Thursday. On October 19, won over 2000m at Caulfield, carrying 58kg. That was a solid win, so I believe that Too Darn Discreet could win on Thursday as well. Before that, Too Darn Discreet finished first at Flemington on October 5, 2024, over 1600m. Decent win rate in her career. Previously, this runner has loved running at this track and I think the conditions should suit it again. I think it's a real genuine each way chance.

Stats and Insights

Flemington's long straight track can sometimes favour horses drawn towards the inside or outside of the track, depending on the rail position and prevailing track conditions. Betting on horses that suit the current track bias can be advantageous.

Jockey James McDonald is racing 3 favourites in Race 1, 2 and 5 (Verdad).

The first 3-4 races in most meetings are called "Maidens" and these races are usually risky and unpredictable. This is because the runners are usually making their debut or have only had a few starts. So it's advisable to stay from these races unless you have a good bankroll.

Betting Sites Bonuses and Promotions

It’s Melbourne Cup week and Only Racing will be your ultimate resource for free Melbourne Cups tips 2024. We have odds, tips, promos and full previews of the racing action from Flemington Racecourse on Tuesday. At the moment, Vauban is the favourite at most betting sites but this could change come race time as the market movers will be sure to be moving around.

This is one of the best times of the year to get access to excellent racing promotions and an old favourite of mine - Bet365 - is my pick of the week. They have you covered for the big race with a 25% boost available for any runner in the field. You can also get your stake back if your bet loses. So I think they’ll be ideal for betting on the Cup.

There are plenty of other racing features too such as odds drift protector, 365 top tote +, 365 tote and more. You can even build a stable of your favourite horses, sort of like a black book feature. I also enjoy betting with the Bet365 app, it has everything you need to have a punt. Enjoy the Cup and hope you pick some winners!
