Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 02/04/24

Racing comes back to Taree racecourse and Geelong racecourse this Tuesday for what looks like a solid day of racing and I am pretty keen on a couple of betting spots across both of the cards. I have run through the cards quite extensively and as usual picked out a 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 Tuesday!

Best Tip: Taree - R7 - #4 - Bob's Last One

Bob’s Last One looks like an extremely progressive horse for the Milligan camp and I think that he shapes up very well in the get out tomorrow at Taree. He resumed off of a 25 week spell at Kempsey in the middle of March where he set out in the Heavy and handled the conditions beautifully, holding the rails to lead and then giving a big kick in the straight to win very well there. He should have plenty of upside off the back of that run and shapes up very well here.

*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: Geelong - R1 - #3 - Chosen Legend

Chosen Legend returned to racing for the Alexander camp off of a 19 week break from the races for just his second career start where he was too bad to be true and also got no luck when running home near last. However, when she ran on debut at The Valley back in October she was extremely impressive, powering home behind Hayasugi and Bold Bastille to finish third. That is more than good enough to see her win this so if she is ready to go now she will be very tough to get past.

Best Racing Promotions

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.

I am an avid horse racing enthusiast and punter. Growing up in Randwick, I have been surrounded by racing through stories from the elderly’s past endeavours to the racecourse and owners that are friends of the family. I am also a data-scientist and am fascinated and intrigued by the algorithmic approach to form. I’ve has become more involved with racing over the past few years due to simultaneously delving deeper into the sport and learning how to apply a data driven approach to punting. Beyond Racing, I am an avid NRL fan and MMA fan, the latter of which I have largely applied the same philosophy of methodical, data driven punting towards and found solid success in the MMA space and I continue to track and improve my strategies.
