Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 26/12/24
Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Mrs Chrissie #9 Caulfield Heath R8
Last start, beat Deepour (52.5kg) at Ballarat over 1100m at the starting price of $2.90. That was a good win first-up from a spell and she should be even fitter on Thursday afternoon. So, I like Mrs Chrissie, especially with Craig Williams on board from barrier 8. Before that, Mrs Chrissie finished first at Caulfield in an Open on July 27, 202,4 over 1200m. Seems to love this distance with a good career record, 4 wins in 10 starts. The trends say this runner should be a good bet in this race.
Best Roughie: Headley Grange #3 Randwick R8
In good form and has strong claims to win on Thursday. Last start was a good one, placing 2nd in a BM72 at Rosehill over 1500m. Likes dry conditions, rates highly. The Randwick track on Thursday should suit it nicely. He’s looking for 3 straight wins when racing first-up after winning his first two. So he likes to run fresh from a spell and he’s had a few trials before this race. Jockey Jay Ford has enjoyed his time in the saddle on board Headley Grange with 3 wins in 6 starts.

Horse Racing promotions are a huge part when searching for new bookies. They give additional value, they make the betting experience even better and they bring unique features. Promotions vary from an improved offer to better odds on headlined events and can contribute to big returns.
WellBet is one to consider this week for your betting needs. The ones that stand out are the ones that feature the unique 'Mystery Bet' which lets you choose your odds and reveal a surprise choice, making it fun. Aside from that, WellBet offers "First Past the Post", which pays out if your horse is first across the line, but gets beaten as a result of a protest. Now, they also provide the best tote available for those chasing the best returns and serve up the biggest dividend across the three major TABs.
With these features, I think that WellBet appeals to both the seasoned punter and the newcomer, which makes this bookie a strong proposition for punters that are wishing to increase their betting experience.
