Check out the free horse racing tips and best bets for Wednesday's racing at Randwick-Kensington and Sandown. I like the look of Gram at Randwick-Kensington in Race 2. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Justdoit in Race 5 at Sandown. The track conditions at Randwick-Kensington are looking decent for racing, its a soft 7 so its recommended to bet on runners that like soft conditions. It will be a soft 7 at Sandown on Wednesday, so take that into account when you're playing bets. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Gram #8 Randwick-Kensington R2

In good form and has strong claims to win on Wednesday. Last start was a good one, placing 2nd in a Mdn at Warwick Farm over 1100m. Previously, 1st of 7 at Rosehill Barrier Trial-Open on June 11, 2024 over 900m. Likes running on wet tracks and tomorrow's track should be nice. Racing well at the moment, so I like its chances.

Best Roughie: Justdoit #5 Sandown R5

Previously, it finished 9th of 12 at Flemington in a Open on July 6, 2024 over 1400m, 2.5 lengths behind Cindy Falls (54kg). But that was a tough race. Previously, 2nd of 10 at Bendigo BM64 on June 27, 2024 over 1300m. Has enjoyed success at 1400m distance, placing in 3 of 5 starts and that includes a win. Also, doesn't mind soft tracks with 6 placings in 8 starts. In good form at the moment, so hopefully that continues. Good odds to have a crack each-way.

Stats and Insights

  • The 1 and 9 barriers have both won 13.2% of races since 2017 at the Randwick Kensington track.
  • 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.
  • Sandown Lakeside is a soft 7 track and there's an 80% chance of rain.

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.
