Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 25/06/24

Follow along with me for the best free horse racing tips on race day! Tuesday's racing action takes us to Hawkesbury and Ballarat Synthetic and I have found a best bet for you at betting sites in Australia. There's also a juicy roughie to get on board. I like the look of Eye Of The Fire at Hawkesbury in Race 7. Meanwhile, my roughie of the day is Rock Melody at Ballarat Synthetic in Race 4. The track conditions at Hawkesbury are looking decent for racing, its a soft 7 so its recommended to bet on runners that like soft conditions. The conditions at Ballarat Synthetic are looking nice for racing with a good 3 rating. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Eye Of The Fire #4 Hawkesbury R7

Last start, Eye Of The Fire was 5th of 13 at Warwick Farm on June 5 over 1100m on a heavy track, 1.5 lengths behind One Destiny (56kg) with 58kg at $3.50. But it should improve here. Previously, 1st of 7 at Hawkesbury Cls 1 on May 23, 2024 over 1100m. Back at Hawkesbury on Tuesday and Heavelon Van Der Hoven is back in the saddle. Likes soft conditions too so the track should suit. Good odds at PlayUp, Chasebet or Questbet.

Previously, it finished 6th of 9 at Cranbourne in a Cls 1 on May 31, 2024 over 1000m, 2.9 lengths behind Shamrock Bay (56kg). Previously, 10th of 10 at Ballarat RST64 on April 28, 2024 over 1000m. Has enjoyed plenty of success at this track (Ballarat Synthetic) with a 100% record of finishing in the top-three. Previously has had a lot of success when it's running third-up, so just another reason to get on board.

Stats and Insights

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.
At Ballarat Synthetic, inside barriers can be an advantage for several distances between 1400 to 2200m.
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.

Betting Sites Bonuses and Promotions

Horse racing 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.
