Best Exotic Bets of the Day 07/12/24

Exacta - Ballarat - R5

1st: 8, 1, 5, 7

2nd: 8, 1, 5, 7

Little Jack: In good form and has strong claims to win on Saturday. Last start was a good one, placing 2nd in a BM84 at Caulfield over 1400m.

Bigolino: Bigolino showed some form at Wodonga last time. In its last start, Bigolino placed 3rd out of 9 on November 29 over 1590m, on a soft track, just 3.3 lengths behind Prince Of Helena (54kg) with 54.5kg at $4.60.

Prince Eric: Last run, it finished 3rd at Donald over 1620m. Should be right in the thick of things.

Place Of Gold: Solid record at this distance and comes off a nice win at Geelong.

Exacta - Rosehill - R9

1st: 4, 2, 10, 8

2nd: 4, 2, 10, 8

Time To Boogie: Back from a spell and his first-up record is impressive. He has 2 wins and 2 seconds from his 4 career starts when he is back from a spell. Should run well here too.

Tristate: He’s a track specialist, especially at the 1100m distance. Comes into this race having placed in 4 straight starts and should be a safe bet for the top 2.

Dollar Magic: In strong form and has good claims to run well on Saturday. Last start was an almost win, finishing 2nd in a BM78 over 1100m at Rosehill.

Fire Star: Last start, beat Iron Man (57kg) at Rosehill over 1200m at the starting price of $2.70. That was a good win and I like Fire Star on Saturday too, especially with Andrew Adkins on board from barrier 13.

Exacta - Eagle Farm - R8

1st: 11, 3, 1, 2

2nd: 11, 3, 1, 2

Shalaa's Moment: Last run, took down Cifrado (60kg) over 1000m at Sunshine Coast (starting price: $5.50). I think that was an impressive win, so I'm backing Shalaa's Moment to get the win on Saturday, especially from barrier 1 with Nikita Beriman in the saddle.

Hard To Say: He has a good record at this track and has 4 wins at the distance. Should be able to run well from the 5 Barrier.

Rothfire: In its last race, Rothfire was 4th at Gold Coast on January 13 over 1300m, just 4.5 lengths behind Better Get Set (53kg). This should be another race where I think it can potentially improve and get over the field.

Zarastro: Resuming on Saturday and has won a 50% record of finishing in the top 3 when he has been first-up before. Loves this track too, he has won 5 of 7 starts at Eagle Farm. The track conditions should suit it nicely.
