Best Exotic Bets of the Day | 31/10/24
Exotic Bets of the Day
Exacta - Warrnambool - R5
1st: 3, 2, 5, 6
2nd: 3, 2, 5, 6
Blazing Guru: In its last race at Horsham on October 20, it came out on top with a winning margin of 3.5 lengths. It was carrying 57.5kg and held off Mash And Gravy (59.5kg), which was pretty good to watch at $3.00 odds. So, it's looking in good touch for this race.
Eight Martinis: Won at this track before and likes running in these conditions. Should be in the mix throughout the race.
Golden Garden: Last time out, it finished 3rd out of 9 in the BM58 at Warrnambool on October 21. That race was over 2350m on a soft track and it came in 4.2 lengths behind Olympic Theatre (69kg). Definitely among the winning chances.
Peaky Ridge: Last race, Peaky Ridge ran a place (2nd) at Ballarat over 2600m with Jarrod Fry on board, just finishing behind the winner (Kodiak Bear (60kg)). Should get a lot of confidence from that run and should be a good bet again.
Exacta - Warrnambool - R6
1st: 7, 10, 1, 5
2nd: 7, 10, 1, 5
Macy Moon: It hit the track on October 17 and Macy Moon put in a solid effort, finishing 5th out of 11. Thursday's race sees some good odds to have a crack, I think. With Jordan Childs on board, that gives me confidence too.
Mark Of The Man: Last run, it finished 3rd at Warrnambool over 1700m. Should be right in the thick of things.
Vitruvius: Drops in class for this race and has been resting for a few weeks. Usually runs well fresh so I think it can run a place.
Star Of Tavistock: Back from a spell and looking to make it 3 from 3 at this track. Racing very well last prep with a few wins over 2350m.
Exacta - Wyong - R7
1st: 5, 7, 6, 10
2nd: 5, 7, 6, 10
Cormac T: Has been good before when he was last third-up with a win and minor placing. 2kg jockey advantage in this race and back in class.
Hooligan Tommy: In great form at the moment and should be able to get a good run in this field. Comes off wins at Canberra and Scone over 1600m. Yet to race at this distance so that’s the only query.
Oakfield Hawk: Last time on the track, it placed 3rd out of 9 in the BM64 at Hawkesbury on October 17. That race was on a good track and it came in 2.6 lengths behind Irish Anthem (55kg). Should be in the mix.
Threw: Ready to hit peak form now. Came 2nd last start at Orange with Olivia Chambers in the saddle.
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.
