Best Exotic Betting Tips of the Day | 16/08/24
Exotic Tips of the Day
Exacta - Taree - R5
1st: 3, 12, 2, 6
2nd: 3, 12, 2, 6
No Tackle: No Tackle showed promise at Kempsey on July 30, finishing 2nd out of 11 in a BM58 on a soft track, just 1.5 lengths behind Rush Attack (58.5kg) with 58.5kg at $19.00. With that run under its belt, No Tackle is expected to improve and I think is a strong contender for this race. In winning form, don't look past it.
Perri Lass: Last race, Perri Lass was 6th out of 10 at Wyong on August 4 on a soft track over 1350m, 6.8 lengths behind Kervette (57.5kg) with 55kg at $8.50. But it should improve here.
Killzy: On August 9 at Tuncurry in a BM58 over 2105m, Killzy started slow and finished 9th out of 10, while carrying 57kg at $7.50 odds.
Durusehvar: Last race, Durusehvar was 6th out of 14 at Coffs Harbour on August 2 on a soft track over 1600m, 3.3 lengths behind The Great Armada (53kg) with 55kg at $19.00. But it should improve here. Plenty of success at this track before and I like the trend for Friday.
Exacta - Ballarat Synthetic - R4
1st: 4, 3, 10, 2
2nd: 4, 3, 10, 2
Kensal Green: Kensal Green is first-up on Friday and hasn't raced for a while. Has looked decent in jumpouts. Should be able to run a place.
Forever More: In its last race, Forever More was 4th at Echuca on July 26 over 1100m, just 6.3 lengths behind Patriot Star (55kg). This should be another race where I think it can potentially improve and get over the field.
The Prayer: Last run was a 5th finish at Ballarat Synthetic over 1200m in a Mdn. But, I think The Prayer could run well here from barrier 4.
Discreet Affair: Last time this horse hit the track, Discreet Affair put in a better effort, and that's something to take note of for Friday's race. With Will Price riding, you know that Discreet Affair has got a jockey who can handle business.
Exacta - Ballarat Synthetic - R6
1st: 6, 8, 12, 5
2nd: 6, 8, 12, 5
Summer Night: Coming off a decent effort at Swan Hill, finishing 4th. A strong chance to make up for it here.
Oriskany: Coming off a solid effort at Pakenham Synthetic, running 4th and just outside the placings. But I think it can likely improve in this race.
Spot The Grey: In its last run, this horse finished 5th of 9 at Ballarat Synthetic in a Mdn on August 2, 2024 over 1400m, 4.2 lengths behind General Relativity (58kg).
Psychosis: It hit the track on July 30 and Psychosis put in a solid effort, finishing 6th out of 12. Friday's race sees some good odds to have a crack, I think. With Seamus Cronin on board, that gives me confidence too.
Stats and Insights
- Flexi Betting lets you bet a bit of the full dividend, so you can stick to your budget by taking a smaller cut of the total win.
- With the Exacta, your payout depends on which of the Aussie TABs is in your area.
- The Exacta usually pays out more than the Quinella since it's trickier to pick the horses in the right order.
- Exacta's are a good bet if you're really confident in a horse to win, especially if it's a short-priced favourite.
