Best Bets of the Day

Follow along with me for the best free horse racing tips on race day! Thursday's racing action takes us to Geelong and Hawkesbury and I have found a best bet for you at betting sites in Australia. There's also a juicy roughie to get on board. Angland has caught my eye in Race 8 at Geelong. I also like the look of Oh Golly Goshin Race 8 at Hawkesbury. The track at Geelong is looking in good condition, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Thursday. At Hawkesbury, the track conditions should be nice for race day, it's a good 4 rating at the moment. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Angland #8 Geelong R8

In its latest run at Sale BM70 on September 11, it held its ground and snagged 4th place out of 9, not too bad. Previously, 2nd of 8 at Caulfield Open on May 4, 2024 over 1400m. Good win rate in its racing career thus far, so it knows how to get the job done. Likes running second-up, Angland has before when it was second-up last time.

Best Roughie: Oh Golly Gosh #12 Hawkesbury R8

Oh Golly Gosh showed some form at Hawkesbury last time. In its last start, Oh Golly Gosh placed 3rd out of 11 in a BM68 on September 7 over 1400m, on a good track, just 0.5 lengths behind Flying Bandit (57.5kg) with 56kg at $14.00. Plenty of success at this track before and I like the trend for Thursday.

Stats and Insights

  • The Geelong course proper is known as a track that gives every horse its chance as the circumference is 2043 metres with a straight distance of 400 metres.
  • 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.
  • 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.
