Best Exotic Bets of the Day 30/11/24

Exacta - Caulfield - R5

1st: 3, 1, 8, 2

2nd: 3, 1, 8, 2

Fancify: Going for 3 straight wins and I wouldn’t back against it. She’s undefeated at the distance in 2 attempts and has before at this track. Third-up should not be an issue as she hasn’t finished outside the top 2 yet.

I Am Unstoppable: Had a shocker last start at Flemington but should bounce back here. Previously, 2nd at the Valley and Warwick Farm.

Garza Blanca: In its last race, we saw this horse finish 9th of 11 at Flemington in an Open over 1000m. However, I think Garza Blanca can do a better job here from barrier 8.

It'sourtime: Could get a good run from this Barrier and Damian Lane has won on board him before.

Exacta - Rosehill - R8

1st: 6, 7, 18, 2

2nd: 6, 7, 18, 2

St Lawrence: Coming into this race red-hot after 2 wins on the trot. Last start, he beat a 20 horse field at Randwick and previously won at the same track. Loves these conditions and could make it 3 straight.

Xidaki: Had a tough race last start but should be better on Saturday. He has raced well third-up before and loves good track conditions.

Uzziah: In its last race on November 16 at Newcastle, he surged to the front, winning by 1.3 lengths. He carried 52kg and managed to beat Inhibitions (53kg), which was quite impressive, especially at $2.60 odds. So, it's definitely in top form right now.

Mighty Ulysses: Bit of a roughie but has proven that he can win. He won at Caulfield last month in a 15 horse field and usually runs well on good tracks with 4 wins in 11 starts.

Exacta - Morphettville - R8

1st: 2, 3, 1, 7

2nd: 2, 3, 1, 7

Tewkesbury: In good form and has strong claims to win on Saturday. Last start was a good one, placing 2nd in a BM64 at Ballarat over 2600m.

Mornington Pier: Mornington Pier showed form on November 14 at Ballarat, placing 2nd out of 10 in a BM64 on a good track, just 1.0 lengths behind El James (59kg) with 59kg at $4.60. After that race, I think Mornington Pier can potentially improve and possibly get the win this time.

Lavish Thinker: Last race, placed 3rd of 10 at Morphettville Parks in a BM74 over 2250m, just 0.4 lengths behind Sentimental Flame (51kg) carrying 55kg at $8.00.

Dartboard: It hit the track on November 17 and Dartboard put in a solid effort, finishing 7th out of 13. Saturday's race sees some good odds to have a crack, I think. With Jack Hill on board, that gives me confidence too.
