Best Bets of the Day

We have your best bet of the day as well as a cheeky roughie for Tuesday's racing action. I'm heading to Ballarat Synthetic for my best bet of the day in Race 5. I also like the look of Sixfootonein Race 8 at Bathurst. Should be excellent conditions at Ballarat Synthetic for racing on Tuesday, the track is a good 3. There's been a lot of rain around the Bathurst track recently so the track is a heavy 9 at the moment. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Dillinger #2 Ballarat Synthetic R5

Last start, beat Perfect Gold (59kg) at Ballarat Synthetic over 1500m at the starting price of $2.20. That was a good win and I like Dillinger on Tuesday too, especially with Beau Mertens on board from barrier 8. Before that, Dillinger finished first at Swan Hill in a RST64 on June 9, 2024 over 1600m. Loves this track, is yet to finish outside the top 3. Good stats at the distance too, bodes well for Tuesday. Good stats when it's second-up. In winning form, don't look past it.

Best Roughie: Sixfootone #7 Bathurst R8

In its recent race at Hawkesbury, Sixfootone came in third, not too far behind 1st and 2nd. After that run, it should have a good chance of running a place in this race. Lee Magorrian is in good form and should be able to get a good run. Previously, 2nd of 9 at Muswellbrook BM66 on February 19, 2024 over 1280m. Very good record on wet tracks, 1st and 2nd in 3 career starts. Track conditions should be perfect for it on Tuesday.

Stats and Insights

  • 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.
  • At Bathurst racecourse, the 1 barrier has a 16% win percentage since 2017.

Best Horse Racing Betting Sites

Horse Racing promos and offers are usually excellent ways to increase your betting profits. Australian betting sites provide a variety of unique promotions throughout the racing season. One standout in my experience is Questbet, which offers same race multi for Thoroughbred racing. You can also take advantage of mystery bets and first past the post payouts. With competitive odds for roughies, Questbet is definitely worth checking out.

Betting sites and their promotions frequently change, especially around major races like the Melbourne Cup or Cox Plate. Visit questbet.com.au to see their current promotions. I think you'll find it worthwhile.

For this week's racing action, I highly recommend Questbet. It offers a wide range of racing betting features, so you can get some of the best odds throughout the week's racing around Australia. Also, I’ve noticed that Questbet provides solid markets and bet types for horses, dogs and harness racing.
