Best Exotic Betting Tips of the Day | 17/08/24
Exotic Tips of the Day
Exacta - Caulfield - R8
1st: 1, 6, 2, 7
2nd: 1, 6, 2, 7
Pericles: It's shown it has the ability to be a serious contender and with a bit more luck and a better trip, it’s got a real shot at taking this one. Likes running first-up.
Pinstriped: Pinstriped is first-up on Saturday. Good record when it's resuming with 2 wins in 6 starts.
Munhamek: I like the form of Munhamek for Race 8 at Caulfield on Saturday. Won at Flemington over 1600m on July 6. Racing well at the moment, so I like its chances.
Gentleman Roy: I like the look of Gentleman Roy in Race 8 at Caulfield on Saturday. Previously won at Flemington over 1410m, carrying 60.5kg. That was a really good win, so I think Gentleman Roy should be tough to beat on Saturday too. Loves the distance and I hope that continues over the 1400m.
Exacta - Rosehill - R6
1st: 4, 2, 3, 1
2nd: 4, 2, 3, 1
Tarpaulin: I like the look of Tarpaulin in Race 6 at Rosehill on Saturday. Previously won at Randwick over 1100m, carrying 58kg. That was a really good win, so I think Tarpaulin should be tough to beat on Saturday too. Racing well at the moment, so I like its chances.
Gatsby's: I'm a big fan of Gatsby's in Race 6 at Rosehill on Saturday. On August 6, won over 900m at Rosehill. That was nice win, so I believe that Gatsby's can win on Saturday as well. Previous success running first-up in it's career and should enjoy the racing conditions at Rosehill.
High Octane: Ready to win now. Finished second last start with Tommy Berry on board at Randwick. First-up form looks good.
Shangri La Express: In good form and has strong claims to win on Saturday. Last start was a good one, placing 2nd in a Barrier Trial-Open at Randwick over 1050m.
Exacta - Rosehill - R8
1st: 6, 10, 11, 4
2nd: 6, 10, 11, 4
Tom Kitten: Last time out, it had a perfect run and won, looking much fitter. This horse knows how to bring the heat and last time out at Rosehill, it showed us exactly what he's made of. With James Mc Donald in the saddle, its a force to be reckoned with and could very well take the win again.
Amor Victorious: I like the form of Amor Victorious for Race 8 at Rosehill on Saturday. Won at Hawkesbury over 1250m on August 5. Third-up shouldn't be an issue, has looked good this prep.
Chorlton Lane: Its shown it has the ability to be a serious contender and with a bit more luck and a better trip, it’s got a real shot at taking this one.
Hinged: It hit the track on August 6 and Hinged put in a solid effort, finishing 5th out of 5. Saturday's race sees some good odds to have a crack, I think. With Benjamin Osmond 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.
