Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 12/04/26

We may not be seeing the quality of Group 1 racing, but there’s still a winner to be found in every race. Day Two of The Championships is over, but the horse racing betting tips from the BettingTop10 team just keep coming. Our tipsters provide daily best bets, so make sure you keep checking back with us.

If you’re looking for a way to close out the week on a winning note, these tips are the way to go. I’ve done the heavy lifting, finding three runners that really stand out from the pack.

Best Odds provided

Top Pick: 

11. Reservoir Dog

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

NZ$5.50 with 20Bet

Quick Analysis:

Starting the day in Hobart, and I think Reservoir Dog can get the job done in Race 5. He gets no favours with the wide draw, but has been close so far this prep. After missing the start in Launceston last time out, he ended up finishing just 0.75L off the leader in second. That one was on a Soft-rated track, and it looks like we’re getting more of the same here.

Top Pick: 

9. Echelon

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

NZ$5.50 with 20Bet

Quick Analysis:

There’s a bit of value to be had with Echelon, and he is getting very close to a win. He is building into his prep nicely and has back-to-back second placings at Scone and Muswellbrook. With just 900m to play with, I suspect jockey Luke Rolls will try to push forward to get in a good position from barrier eight. This also looks to be a Soft-rated track, where he has a record of 8:1-2-1.

Top Pick: 

8. Treasure Hunter

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

NZ$5.00 with Ivibet

Quick Analysis:

To wrap the day up, I’m heading to Gundagai, where I’ll be on Treasure Hunter. It’s a big field, and he draws relatively well. He didn’t fire first-up, fading late, but should be fitter for that run under his belt at Sapphire Coast. Steps up to 1,400m here, so that’s a small query, but he has already raced at this track, so at least he has some sort of experience.
