Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 18/04/24

Racing returns to some familiar faces this Thursday with cards set for Pakenham racecourse and the Hawkesbury racecourse after a very good set of midweek cards in NSW and VIC this past Wednesday with our full length horse racing tips doing nicely. In this article we focus on our best bet and best outside chance of the day across the two cards. There are also the best racing promotions across our Aussie horse racing betting sites outlined in this article. In the final part of the article you should find some helpful track insights for both the racecourses which should assist your horse racing betting. Follow me below for another great day of racing this Thursday! 

Not too often do I bet in get outs but I think that Field Of Praise looks like a very solid betting spot for the Hayes boys in tomorrow’s get out at the course. She comes back in grade to BM58 level for this and brings the best form. She’s hard fit with multiple runs on board and gets in very well after the claim from Cartwright. She maps to lob onto the speed and be in the right spot for this track. Go well.

*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. 

Pretty keen to be in the corner of Gustav tomorrow in one of the few races that Annabel Neasham doesn’t dominate. Sara Ryan has been producing electric winners lately and this guy comes into this third up and ready to peak after running at Beaumont last time out and having genuine excuses when never being able to make up ground after being posted last in the run. His first up run over the 1100m here was sharp however and I think he hits back hard here at a price.

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.
