Best Exotic Bets of the Day | 20/12/24

On Friday, I have looked through the field at Canterbury, Cranbourne and Gold Coast and found some races that I think should be suitable for an exacta bet. Get the best bets at Only Racing!

1st: 1, 2, 8, 3

2nd: 1, 2, 8, 3

Apex: Ready to win now. Finished second last start with Tim Clark on board at Canterbury.

Manuscript: Previously, it finished 5th of 6 at Rosehill in a BM72 on December 7, 2024 over 1200m, 4.7 lengths behind Private Harry (58.5kg). Hopefully it can bounce back. From a quality stable and gets the inside Barrier.

Dance To The Boom: In its last race on August 17 at Kembla Grange, he surged to the front, winning by 1.3 lengths. He carried 55.5kg and managed to beat Jayashree (55kg), which was quite impressive, especially at $9.00 odds. So, it's definitely in top form right now.

Bartolf: Coming off a decent effort at Wyong, finishing 4th. A strong chance to make up for it here.

1st: 6, 2, 4, 5

2nd: 6, 2, 4, 5

Mixxit: Coming off a win at Moe over 1600m in good track conditions. This race should present similar conditions and that should him run a place.

The Jester's Son: Last start, The Jester's Son was 8th of 9 at Caulfield Heath on December 4 over 1500m on a good track, 3.6 lengths behind Smokin' Princess (60.5kg) with 58kg at $4.80. But it should improve here.

Hanafubuki: Back from a spell and looking to build on her good form in her last prep. She finished off with a 2nd at Flemington and usually runs well on good tracks.

Speak: Should be fitter second-up after running 3rd after a spell at Caulfield. She has placed in 50% of her career runs second-up so she likes running fresh. Also, came 2nd at this track last time out.

1st: 5, 3, 16, 22

2nd: 5, 3, 16, 22

Tannenburg: Last race, Tannenburg ran a place (2nd) at Doomben over 1615m with James Orman on board, just finishing behind the winner (Victory Win (59.5kg)). Should get a lot of confidence from that run and should be a good bet again.

Lady Shotgun: I'm a big fan of Lady Shotgun in Race 8 at Gold Coast on Friday. On December 7, won over 1200m at Gold Coast, carrying 60kg. That was a solid win, so I believe that Lady Shotgun can win on Friday as well.

Savour The Dream: In its latest run at Gold Coast BM62 on November 30, it held its ground and snagged 4th place out of 9, not too bad.

Miss Trustful: Struggled a bit first-up at Canterbury but heads to the Gold Coast with that run under her belt. She has placed in her last run second-up so I think she can bounce back.
