Best Exotic Bets of the Day | 21/12/24

The racing continues at Pakenham, Randwick and Eagle Farm on Saturday and this article will give you horse racing tips for 3 of the best races that I think you should watch out for.

1st: 8, 2, 7, 10

2nd: 8, 2, 7, 10

Ruakaka Raider: Last race, Ruakaka Raider was 6th out of 16 at Ballarat on December 7 on a good track over 2000m, 4.2 lengths behind Dublin Journal (56kg) with 54kg at $3.10. But it should improve here.

Deakin: Irish based horse that has travelled to Australia. Should be fitter after a first-up run at Ballarat under his belt.

Saban: Last time on the track, it placed 3rd out of 8 in the BM74 at Caulfield on November 30. That race was on a soft track and it came in 1.1 lengths behind Nearing Liberty (57kg). Should be in the mix.

Actaeon: In its last race on November 29 at Moonee Valley, he surged to the front, winning by 3.8 lengths. He carried 58kg and defeated Lottaroc (57kg), which was pretty impressive, especially at $6.00 odds. So, it's definitely in top form right now.

2nd: 7, 10, 9, 15

Bright Red: Bright Red showed promise at Rosehill on December 7, finishing 2nd out of 5 in a BM72 on a heavy track, just 0.8 lengths behind Shangri La Spring (54kg) with 57.5kg at $4.20. With that run under its belt, Bright Red is expected to improve and I think it is a strong contender for this race.

Heed The Omens: Trained by Chris Waller and has been impressive in his short career. He has performed well over 1600m before and fourth-up should not be an issue. Comes off a 3rd at Rosehill as well.

O'ziggy: I like the look of O'ziggy in Race 7 at Randwick on Saturday. Previously won at Hawkesbury over 1600m, carrying 58kg. That was a really good win, so I think O'ziggy should be tough to beat on Saturday too.

Churchill's Choice: In its last race at Newcastle on December 7, it came out on top with a winning margin of 0.2 lengths. So let’s hope the momentum continues on Saturday.

2nd: 8, 10, 3, 19

Weigall Tiger: Looking for back to back wins after finishing 1st at Ipswich last start. Great record at this track and distance. He’s also won third-up before.

Transatlantic: He’s been good this prep, let’s see if it continues in this race. Usually runs well at this track and has placed before when he was 4th-up before.

Pocket Full: Ryan Maloney was on board last run and won over 1200m at Eagle Farm. So I think that's a good form guide for Saturday's race and should be tough to beat down the straight.

Ocean Zar: In its last race, Ocean Zar was 4th at Sunshine Coast on November 16 over 1400m, just 6.7 lengths behind Miss Joelene (58kg). This should be another race where I think it can potentially improve and get over the field.
