Friday Racing Tips - Cranbourne 31/05/24

The packed Australian Autumn of racing is in full swing and there is an excellent card on offer on Friday at Cranbourne for punters and horse racing betting apps to get on board with.

With 8 races on the card and some quality operators in action, there is plenty of value to be found across what should be an excellent day of racing in Victoria.

Race 4
Top Selections

(BEST BET) - Suances  - $2.90
Jaskier - $4.20
Spirit of Flight - $4.40
Gulfstate - $7.00

BEST BET - Suances - $2.90
This is a high-quality contest at Cranbourne and Suances looks to be the pick of the bunch for Peter Moody. A 3rd place showing on debut demonstrated an excellent turn of pace and the 3-year-old could get its maiden triumph on the card here.

THE DANGER - Jaskier - $4.40
Graeme Begg is a trainer that often produces the goods for punters and betting sites and his young flyer Jaskier looks the part here. This will be a step up in trip and caliber but Begg normally has his horses chomping at the bit.

VALUE BET  - Gulfstate - $7.00
The absence of experienced or winning horses in the field here at Cranbourne makes it a very open contest for all punters and betting apps. This is a first career outing for Gulfstate but the stock it comes from would suggest it will have the pace to compete from the outset.

Race 6 Selections:
(NEXT BEST) - Chartres - $3.20
Seb Song - $4.00
Awash - $4.00
Senor Uno - $8.50

BEST BET - Chartres - $3.20
Race 6 at Cranbourne on Friday is arguably the pick of the bunch on the card, with an array of good horses in the mix. Chartres is a well-travelled horse, who can sometimes get into a pickle when chasing wins but it looks a good price to score here. 

THE DANGER - Awash - $4.00
Ciaron Maher remains one of the most prolific trainers in Australia in the eyes of many punters and betting sites and Awash is his call here. A 4-year-old with a stellar record, Awash looks very good value to mount a serious challenge in this one.

VALUE BET - Senor Uno - $8.50
Strong claims can be made for plenty in the lineup here at Cranbourne, music to the ears of both punters and betting apps. Senor Uno hasn’t managed to get over the line for a while but it remains a quality horse, who certainly cannot be discarded.

Race 7 Selections:
Alchian - $2.80
Godzilla - $3.00
Legatus - $6.50
Hanafubuki - $8.50

BEST BET - Alchian - $2.80
Strong claims can be made for plenty in the lineup here at Cranbourne, music to the ears of both punters and betting apps. Senor Uno hasn’t managed to get over the line for a while but it remains a quality horse, who certainly cannot be discarded.

THE DANGER - Godzilla - $3.00
Another family training duo feature here, with the Snowden’s putting another solid horse – Godzilla – in for this one. Calling this one will be tough for both punters and betting sites but Godzilla is certainly one to keep an eye on in the markets.

VALUE BET - Hanafubuki - $8.50
With 1 win in the bag from 2 career outings, Hanafubuki is the one to keep an eye on in the view of many punters and betting apps. Doing it at this level will be a test for the 3-year-old but it has nothing to lose and it could go well here.

Jockey Of the Day – Jacob Noonan

Whilst he may only have 4 rides out of 8 races at Cranbourne, Jacob Noonan has strong hopes in all of them, making him a jockey to keep an eye on throughout the day.

Small Town Hero is the short odds favourite in race 2 at $1.90 with Playup, whilst the aforementioned Awash poses a very good chance in race 6 – coming in at 4 with Playup.

His final two ride see him on board the roughie of the day – Hanafubuki in race 7, at an appealing $8.50, whilst Russian Bobshark looks to be the one to beat for Noonan and Ciaron Maher race 8 at $2.40, once again with Playup.

Promotions are traditionally the primary way for punters to create an edge over the bookies, as they can save your cash when your runner fails to win, in the instance of Playup they often offer 2nd and 3rd money back in bonus bets for a selection of races on the midweek and provincial racing days. Coupled with their generous odds I have to put them as the top bookie promotion wise at the moment for Australian racing.  

If you are looking for the best promotions this week for Friday's racing I wouldn’t look past Playup, often they offer odds boosts in addition to the money back promotions. Don’t forget to check your account as well for personal offers.  

Promotions often change so make sure you sign up at unibet.com.au to see what promotions are applicable to you and you may even be surprised to find some promotions that weren’t mentioned here!
