Best Tip: Hawkesbury - R6 - #3 - Betsy's Flag
Betsy’s Flag rates highly in this field and I think is due for another win which she can definitely get here. She’s only had the two career starts for Joe Pride and has been very strong in both of them. Her career with the stable kicked off at this track and trip mid August when she came back from a long spell and thrashed a soft field, kicking at the 200m and never being in doubt when lengths clear before facing an honest contest at Wyong over this trip last time out where she was trapped three wide with no cover and was weakened out of it late. She will be approaching hard fitness now, back to this track where she can find the lead and be too strong for them again.

*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: Ipswich - R5 - #1 - Bold Ransom
Bold Ransom looks like a true sprinter for the Cornish stable and is suited dropping back to the 800m sprint here and back to the course he knows well. He won fresh at this trip at Warwick a few weeks back when coming off a long spell and clocking some good splits fresh before two runs up in trip / grade where he hasn’t been disgraced at all when coming on strongly to finish just outside the placegetters in each of those runs. He now comes back to firing distance over this trip and has multiple wins at this course.

Stats and Insights
- At Ipswich racecourse the track is almost circular in shape and has bias to frontrunners that are able to lead throughout the entire race.
- The Ipswich racecourse is near circular in circumference and as such has strong bias towards front runners.
- Hawkesbury Racecourse is known to have a very real “home track advantage” and pro punters have affirmed that there are certain runners that irrespective of their form at other tracks, if they perform historically at Hawkesbury then that form is likely genuine.
Best Horse Racing Betting Sites
Best Racing Promotions
Horse racing betting is always further advantaged for the punter via promotions which assist punters in getting an edge over betting sites. For racing these promotions are often extensive and frequent across the aussie betting apps and provide you more ‘outs’ to your bet that you wouldn’t normally be afforded.
Punterspal has stuck out to me in the last little while amongst the Aussie betting sites that offer horse racing promotions and is one that I would consider signing up to. As we are in full swing for the Group 1 races, Saturday’s become very useful to take advantage of the heightened promotions during the period.
On our website we have a Punterspal review that goes in depth into the bookmaker and their advantages and disadvantages as well as a Vicbet and Palmerbet review which are bookmakers I also favour in terms of their promotions.
Promotions do tend to change frequently amongst the Aussie betting sites so be sure to check onlyracing.com.au to stay updated on the latest promotions.
