On Thursday, I have looked through the field at Ballarat, Hawkesbury and Northam and found some races that I think should be suitable for an exacta bet. Get the best bets at Only Racing!

Exotic Tips of the Day
Exacta - Ballarat - R4
1st: 4, 1, 2, 9
2nd: 4, 1, 2, 9
Big Swinger: I like the form of Big Swinger for Race 4 at Ballarat on Thursday. Won at Ballarat over 1200m on September 20.
Keane Enuff: Keane Enuff showed form on October 5 at Murtoa, placing 2nd out of 8 in a BM64 on a good track, just 0.2 lengths behind Coeur De Lyon (58kg) with 59.5kg at $3.40. After that race, I think Keane Enuff can potentially improve and possibly get the win this time.
Porter: Resuming from a spell and hasn’t won first-up yet. But does like this track and was racing well last prep at Geelong with 3 straight minor placings.
Wild Pharaoh: I like Wild Pharaoh for Race 4 at Ballarat on Thursday in this exacta. Won at Benalla over 1206m last start.
Exacta - Hawkesbury - R7
1st: 13, 10, 6, 5
2nd: 13, 10, 6, 5
Obscure: I like the look of Obscure in Race 7 at Hawkesbury on Thursday. Previously won at Kembla Grange over 1200m, carrying 55kg. That was a really good win, so I think Obscure should be tough to beat on Thursday too.
Broadway Follies: With Zac Lloyd on board last start, won at Dubbo (1300m). So hopefully that form continues into Thursday's race. On Thursday, Joshua Parr is in the saddle and knows how to win. Get on board.
Wexford Miss: With Clipperton on board last start, won at Kembla Grange (1400m). So hopefully that form continues into Thursday's race. Get on board.
Let's Go Again: I like the look of Let's Go Again for Race 7 at Hawkesbury on Thursday. Won at Kembla Grange over 1200m on September 28. Lee Magorrian is undefeated on this mare in 2 starts.
Exacta - Northam - R8
1st: 1, 6, 4, 2
2nd: 1, 6, 4, 2
Lord Gannicus: It hit the track on October 5 and Lord Gannicus put in a solid effort, finishing 6th out of 8. Thursday's race sees some good odds to have a crack, I think. With Chanel Cooper on board, that gives me confidence too.
Famous Dain: Famous Dain showed some form at Kalgoorlie last time. In its last start, Famous Dain placed 3rd out of 10 in a Cls 2 on October 2 over 1760m, on a good track, just 0.9 lengths behind Lord Randolph (57kg) with 60kg at $2.80.
Kiralui: Last time out, it finished 3rd out of 8 in the RS0LY at Kalgoorlie on October 5. That race was over 1400m on a good track and it came in 2.1 lengths behind Ruling Dame (54.5kg). Definitely among the winning chances.
Megami: Coming off a decent effort at Northam, finishing 4th. A strong chance to get into the top three this time.
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.
