Best Bets of the Day

Racing continues off the back of a really solid midweek meeting at Kensington Racecourse and Sandown Hillside and this Thursday we go to Wyong Racecourse and Townsville Racecourse for what is looking like quite a sharp set of regional meetings with some progressive types going around. I have run through all the meetings of the day and picked out my best bet and best outside chance of the day and where you can pick up the best odds across the Aussie betting sites / betting apps. Further into the article I have also outlined any promotions that are on for this Thursday’s racing across our betting sites, follow me below for an exciting day of racing!

Best Tip: Wyong Racecourse - R2 - #3 - Highway Patrol

Highway Patrol looks like it’s going to take a very good thing to beat him. The Edward O’Rourke trained juvenile looks to make start one a winning debut after they have carefully and patiently placed him in a race they are happy with after being scratched a bunch of times for his firs start. He has won both lead in trials in good times and the latest saw the blinkers go on which he looked to relish when leading and winning. He wears the blinkers for start one, draws well and should go very close.

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: Townsville Racecourse - R5 - #10 - Gulf Of Lion

It does look like if Gulf Of Lion holds form here that there is no reason to jump off him. He’s had three runs back from a spell this time in and after a first up run for fitness he broke the maiden tag with ease before backing that up with a win in a Class 1 race last time out which very few horses generally are able to do. He draws wide now and steps up for a harder contest but there’s not much speed around him, I think he rolls forward easily and will be hard to run down from on the pace hard fit fourth up now. Top chance.

Stats and Insights

  • Watch out for Nathan Doyle’s runners tomorrow at Wyong Racecourse, who are current favourites in two of the races and within the top three favourites in every race they are placed in.
  • Look out for Jason Collet who rides four favourites tomorrow and has some sneaky chances at bigger odds that I would be following closely at Wyong Racecourse.
  • The Wyong racecourse is near circular, offering runners with more dynamic run styles and those that handle bendy tracks a big advantage, also gives those close to the rail an advantage in sprints

Best Racing Promotions

Traditionally, promotions have been the primary means for bettors to gain an edge over bookmakers. These promotions prove beneficial by providing a safety net in case your chosen runner fails to win. 

Playup stands out amongst betting sites by frequently offering the advantage of refunding your bet with bonus bets for selected races on midweek and Provincial racing days, providing you with a second or third chance. Coupled with their favorable odds, Playup currently holds the top position in terms of promotions for Australian racing.

However, if you are seeking other betting apps that offer racing promotions  for this week it is worth looking at some other Australian bookies. On our onlyracing.com.au website we have a Punterspal review, Vicbet review and Palmerbet review which include the promotions that these betting sites frequently offer.

Promotions tend to change regularly, so it is important to sign up to these betting sites to stay updated on the latest applicable promotions.
