Get ready for some racing action around Australia on Thursday as we look at the top 3 meetings. We have you covered with 3 exacta bets lined up at Bendigo, Wyong and Northam.
Exacta - Bendigo - R5
1st: 6, 4, 3, 2
2nd: 6, 4, 3, 2
Affluential: I like the look of Affluential in Race 5 at Bendigo on Thursday. Previously won at Sandown-Lakeside over 3400m, carrying 71kg. That was a really good win, so I think Affluential should be tough to beat on Thursday too.
Nassak Diamond: Last time this horse hit the track, Nassak Diamond put in a better effort, and that's something to take note of for Thursday's race. With Michael Dee riding, you know that Nassak Diamond has got a jockey who can handle business.
Sing For Peace: Her last race saw her finish 8th of 14 at Sandown-Hillside in a BM74 over 2400m, 4 lengths behind Miss Tarzy carrying 56kg at $11. However, I think Sing For Peace can do a better job here from barrier 5.
Team Captain: Last time this horse hit the track, Team Captain put in a better effort, and that's something to take note of for Thursday's race. With Blaike Mc Dougall riding, you know that Team Captain has got a jockey who can handle business.
Exacta - Wyong - R8
1st: 5, 1, 6, 9
2nd: 5, 1, 6, 9
Cosy Corner: Cosy Corner showed some promise at Gosford last time. In it's last start, Cosy Corner placed 3rd out of 9 in a BM64 on May 16 over 1100m, on a heavy track, just 1.7 lengths behind Flightcrew (60.5kg) with 60kg at $3.60.
Morpheus Bragi: Just finished behind the places in it's last start, finishing 4th at 7 on June 12. So I think it can improve after that run and should be fitter here.
Mount Warning: 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 Sapphire Coast, he showed us exactly what he's made of. With Angus Villiers in the saddle, he's a force to be reckoned with and could very well take the win again.
Drama Dodger: Just finished behind the places in it's last start, finishing 4th at 8 on June 19. So I think it can improve after that run and should be fitter here.
Exacta - Northam - R8
1st: 5, 1, 7, 10
2nd: 5, 1, 7, 10
Don't Trust Judas: In good form and has strong claims to win on Thursday. Last start was a good one, placing 2nd in a Cls 3 at Northam over 1400m.
Estimator: Previously, it finished 5th of 12 at Belmont Park in a Rs1MW on June 15, 2024 over 1200m, 2.4 lengths behind Rockin' Rupert (59kg).
Reliable Queen: Her last race saw her finish 6th of 11 at Belmont Park in a Rs1MW over 1650m, 4 lengths behind Miss Tarzy carrying 56kg at $11. However, I think Reliable Queen can do a better job here from barrier 11.
Impossible Dream: In his last race on June 3 at Northam, he surged to the front, winning by 0.1 lengths. He carried 58kg and managed to beat Magic Belle (56kg), which was quite impressive, especially at $3.80 odds. So, it's definitely in top form right now.
