On Thursday, I have looked through the field at Geelong, 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 - Geelong - R7
1st: 2, 4, 5, 6
2nd: 2, 4, 5, 6
Wichitall: Finished 4th on September 8 at Bendigo. That should be a good form guide for this race. In good form at the moment, so hopefully that continues.
Hampton Queen: On September 5 at Cranbourne in a Cls 1 over 1200m, Hampton Queen started slow and finished 7th out of 9 while carrying 57.5kg at $8.00 odds. Should enjoy running first-up as has been the case in its career.
Snick: The last run was a good one, it had a nice run and beat the field. This horse just knows how to win. With Luke Cartwright on board, this horse should get another favourable run and could get the win again. I think it could be a nice safe each way bet.
Howlin' Rain: Howlin' Rain is first-up on Thursday. Its last race saw this horse finish 7th of 8 at Cranbourne in a BM64 over 2520m. However, I think Howlin' Rain can do a better job here from barrier 6.
Exacta - Hawkesbury - R7
1st: 10, 1, 8, 9
2nd: 10, 1, 8, 9
Island Dec: Island Dec is first-up on Thursday. Has a positive first-up record in its career. I like the form of Island Dec for Race 7 at Hawkesbury on Thursday. Won at Kembla Grange over 1000m on June 20. Likes running first-up.
Time Bandit: The last time this horse hit the track, Time Bandit put in a better effort, and that's something to take note of for Thursday's race. With Braith Nock riding, you know that Time Bandit has got a jockey who can handle business. Likes running second-up, good record.
Glorioso: Glorioso is first-up on Thursday. Has a positive first-up record in its career. Fred W Kersley was on board the last run and won over 1100m at Ballarat. So I think that's a good form guide for Thursday's race and should be tough to beat down the straight. Decent record fourth-up so I like it each way.
Rantan: Last time this horse hit the track, Rantan put in a better effort, and that's something to take note of for Thursday's race. With Tim Clark riding, you know that Rantan has got a jockey who can handle business. Likes running first-up.
Exacta - Northam - R7
1st: 2, 1, 3, 5
2nd: 2, 1, 3, 5
Missile Storm: I like the form of Missile Storm for Race 7 at Northam on Thursday. Won at Belmont Park over 1650m on September 18. I think it's a real genuine each way chance.
Dark Missile: On September 7 at Belmont Park in a Rs1MW over 1300m, Dark Missile started slow and finished 7th out of 8. But back to provincial level and this race should be a lot easier.
Roch Legacy: Last run, took down Sports Talk (54.5kg) over 1400m at Belmont Park (starting price: $31.00). I think that was an impressive win, so I'm backing Roch Legacy to get the win on Thursday, especially from barrier 8 with Brandon Louis in the saddle.
More Likely: Previously, it finished 5th of 12 at Bunbury in a Cls 3 on September 12, 2024, over 1400m, 2.8 lengths behind Great Fortune (57.5kg). Should enjoy the distance (1600m).
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.
