Exotic Tips of the Day
Exacta - Moruya - R6
1st: 4, 3, 8, 1
2nd: 4, 3, 8, 1
Fourth Spargo: Last time out, it finished 3rd out of 10 in the Cls 3 at Moruya on August 18. That race was over 1020m on a soft track and it came in 0.7 lengths behind Selhurst Park (57kg). Definitely among the winning chances.
Acheson: Last race, Acheson was 12 out of 15 at Rosehill on August 17 on a soft track over 1300m, 6.1 lengths behind Intervarsity (55.5kg) with 58kg at $6.50. But it should improve here. Previous success running first-up in it's career and should enjoy the racing conditions at Moruya.
Selhurst Park: Selhurst Park showed promise at Moruya on August 18, finishing 2nd out of 10 in a Cls 3 on a soft track, just 0.2 lengths behind I'M A Steel (57.5kg) with 57kg at $18.00. With that run under its belt, Selhurst Park is expected to improve and I think is a strong contender for this race. I think its a real genuine each way chance.
Free State: In its recent race at Kembla Grange, Free State came in third, not too far behind 1st and 2nd. After that run, it should have a good chance of running a place in this race. In winning form, don't look past it.
xacta - Scone - R7Exacta - Scone - R7
1st: 1, 6, 5, 3
2nd: 1, 6, 5, 3
Point Basse: Last time this horse hit the track, Point Basse put in a better effort, and that's something to take note of for Friday's race. With Braith Nock riding, you know that Point Basse has got a jockey who can handle business. First-up form looks good.
Jinsoku: I like the look of Jinsoku in Race 7 at Scone on Friday. Previously won at Nowra over 1200m, carrying 60.5kg.
Sixfootone: Last time on the track, it placed 3rd out of 8 in the BM64 at Newcastle on August 15. That race was on a heavy track and it came in 1.8 lengths behind Princess Cruizer (56kg). Should be in the mix. Should enjoy the distance (1300m) too.
Silver Halo: In its recent race at Muswellbrook, Silver Halo came in third, not too far behind 1st and 2nd. After that run, it should have a good chance of running a place in this race. Robbie Downey is in good form and should be able to get a good run. First-up form looks good.
Exacta - Pakenham Synthetic - R8
1st: 7, 6, 3, 2
2nd: 7, 6, 3, 2
Alectrona: Ready to hit peak form now. Came 2nd last start at Caulfield with Shinny in the saddle. In winning form, don't look past it.
Prinzerro: Last run was a 5th finish at Caulfield over 1100m in a BM74. But, I think Prinzerro could run well here from barrier 8. Doesn't mind running third-up, good record thus far.
Kodiak: I like the look of Kodiak in Race 8 at Pakenham Synthetic on Friday. Previously won at Pakenham Synthetic over 1200m, carrying 55.5kg. That was a really good win, so I think Kodiak should be tough to beat on Friday too. Rates a terrific each-way play, I think.
Lulu Darling: Last run, took down Lovin' Laughs (57.5kg) over 1200m at Pakenham Synthetic (starting price: $6.50). I think that was an impressive win, so I'm backing Lulu Darling to get the win on Friday, especially from barrier 9 with Dakotah Keane in the saddle. In good form at the moment, so hopefully that continues.
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.
