Best Bets of the Day

Looking for some free Australian horse racing tips to enjoy this Wednesday? OnlyRacing has you covered! I'm heading to Randwick-Kensington for my best bet of the day in Race 4. I also like the look of Mornington Pier in Race 5 at Sale. At Randwick-Kensington, the track conditions should be nice for race day, it's a good 4 rating at the moment. The conditions at Sale are looking good for racing as well. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Captain Furai #4 Randwick-Kensington R4

In its last race on June 15 at Rosehill, he surged to the front, winning by 1.3 lengths. He carried 58kg and managed to beat Silvanito (59kg), which was quite impressive, especially at $2.35 odds. So, it's definitely in top form right now. Has enjoyed plenty of success at Randwick-Kensington with a 100% record of finishing in the top three. Good stats at the distance too, bodes well for Wednesday. Loves dry conditions, the track at Randwick-Kensington should be nice.

Best Roughie: Mornington Pier #6 Sale R5

Last race, Mornington Pier ran a place (2nd) at Cranbourne over 1600m with Ben Allen on board, just finishing behind the winner (Statuario (56.5kg)). Should get a lot of confidence from that run and should be a good bet again. Previously, 2nd of 13 at Bendigo RST64 on August 29, 2024, over 1400m. Plenty of winning form on these types of tracks. Rates a terrific each-way play, I think.

Stats and Insights

  • The 1 and 9 barriers have both won 13.2% of races since 2017 at the Randwick Kensington track.
  • When racing at Sale Racecourse specifically out of the 1000m and 1200m chutes the course features a long straight followed by a large sweeping turn which means runners that draw outside of barrier 10 are disadvantaged by at least a length.
  • 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.

After a weekend of thrilling Group 1 races 2024 at Flemington and Randwick, the action doesn’t stop this weekend. The key races are at Caulfield Racecourse on Saturday afternoon with the Caulfield Guineas, Toorak Handicap and Caulfield Stakes. With 5 million prize money up for grabs in just those 3 races alone, it figures to be a huge day at the track.

The Melbourne Cup is also just around the corner and this is a great time to take up betting bonuses at Aussie bookies. One of my favourite sites this week is Picklebet. They have some promos and offers, that should help you this week. They have a bonus back if your first bet loses as well as a 25% winnings boost on Monday.

With other racing features like same race multi, top 4 betting, speed maps, form guides and a user-friendly app, I highly recommend giving them a go for this week’s racing action around the country.
