Follow along with me for the best free horse racing tips on race day! Wednesday's racing action takes us to Sandown and Canterbury and I have found a best bet for you at betting sites in Australia. There's also a juicy roughie to get on board. Mawallock has caught my eye in Race 7 at Sandown. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Deep Rouge in Race 6 at Canterbury. The track conditions at Sandown are looking good for racing .At Canterbury on Wednesday, the track is rated a heavy 9 so keep that on your mind when placing bets. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Mawallock #8 Sandown R7

In its last race, Mawallock was 4th at Caulfield on May 4 over 1100m, just 1.2 lengths behind Excess (56kg). This should be another race where I think it can potentially improve and get over the field. Previously, 1st of 10 at Hamilton BM70 on October 14, 2023 over 1100m. Likes running first-up. Good odds to get the win, I think.

Best Roughie: Deep Rouge #6 Canterbury R6

Last time out, it had a perfect run and won, looking much fitter. This horse knows how to bring the heat and last time out at Scone, he showed us exactly what he's made of. With Olivia Chambers in the saddle, he's a force to be reckoned with and could very well take the win again. Before that, Deep Rouge finished first at Dubbo in a BM82 on May 25, 2024 over 1200m. Should enjoy the heavy track, has placed in 2 career starts on these type of tracks. Loves the distance and I hope that continues over the 1100m. In winning form, don't look past it. Nice odds to have a crack each-way

Stats and Insights

  • Canterbury is a much tighter track than most NSW courses, giving significant advantage to close on pacers and those close to the rail in general. It also favours late rails-in-run horses due to the tight turning nature.
  • 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 Sandown Hillside, the 4 barrier has the highest win percentage since 2017 over all distances.

Best Racing 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.
