Today's Racing Tip - Sunday

Best Bets of the Day

The BettingTop10 team have crunched the numbers and put forward their online horse racing betting tips for today. Sunday racing may not have the same quality as Saturday, but there’s still a winner to be found in every race, and we think we’ve nailed down a couple.

Today’s Best Bets

Still plenty of racing to be had across Australia today, and I’ve looked into some of the bigger racecards to find my best bets. To end the week, I’ve locked in three runners that I feel the most confident in.

Quick Analysis:

Kicking things off today in Wagga with Timeless Grace. The filly is on the short seven-day turnaround, but is in decent form coming into this race. She’s yet to win this prep, but has two very close second placings, including last time out at Gundagai, finishing just 0.29L behind the leader. Draws well and doesn’t have a lot to carry on her back.

Quick Analysis:

Heading to Grafton now, and it looks like Storm Merchant’s race to lose. The gelding returns from a spell and has trialled very well recently. He comes into this race as one of the more favoured runners, and the price is still good enough in my eyes, but I wouldn’t want it to get any shorter. Jett Newman, who was on board for the trials, sticks.

Top Pick: 

2. She's Exotic

Quick Analysis:

For my last best bet of the day, I’m looking at She’s Exotic at Race 6 in Grafton. This is the first time we’ll see the favourite after returning from a spell, but she has trialled well recently. She is also a previous winner here at Grafton, and is currently looking for a hat-trick of wins. Draws well, and regular rider, Andrew Mallyon, is back in the saddle.

Stats and Insights

  • Join The Que broke through last start at Stawell and should take improvement from that run. He looks the runner to beat in Race 5 at Sale.
  • Missile One backs up quickly after a solid placing at the Sunshine Coast and looks ready to go close. She shapes as a leading contender in Race 6 at Sunshine Coast.
  • Enticing comes off a strong win at Geraldton and looks well placed to go on with it. He is one of the main chances in Race 8 at Geraldton.
