Today's Racing Tip - Wednesday

Best Bets of the Day

There’s plenty of action right across Australia today, and the BettingTop10 team go through some of the bigger races to find their three most confident plays of the day. Our horse racing betting tips are updated daily and based on several different factors like recent form, odds, track conditions, weight, barrier draw, and more.

Today’s Best Bets

For the races today, I’ve honed in on three runners in particular. These are the three runners that really stand out from the crowd in my eyes and are certainly worth your attention as well, if you’re thinking about having a bet.

Quick Analysis:

I have to stick with the favourite here, Infusion. Despite being the favourite, I reckon that the $3.70 price we’re currently getting for the mare is still decent enough value. She is one of those runners that doesn’t really look that good on paper, but is still a classy runner. She finished second last time out at Kensington, and draws a lot better here.

Quick Analysis:

Somewhere is another that I think presents decent value. The 4YO has a current career record of 11:2-1-3, and does have a recent placing here at this track. Last time out he was so close yet so far at Caulfield for a BM78, finishing just 0.06L off the pace in second. He drops back to a BM74 for this one, and gets a 3kg weight claim thanks to Holly Durnan. There’s a lot of ticks here to make up for the wide draw.

Top Pick: 

3. Reciprocal

Best Odds Available:

NZ$3.90 with Ivibet

Quick Analysis:

There are plenty of live chances in this field, but it’s hard for me to go past Reciprocal, who holds the gun draw. The gelding is a recent winner at Balaklava two runs back, and last time out, he finished third by 1.67L. He drops back slightly in class, so this one should be a bit easier. Harry Grace retains the ride, and I’ll be taking the $3.90 while it’s still on offer.

Stats and Insights

  • Winchman has been remarkably consistent this preparation and went close again with a narrow second at the Gold Coast. He looks capable of breaking through at big odds in Race 4 at Doomben.
  • Global Trip has drawn perfectly to control the race from the front and looks ideally placed over this trip. He shapes as the runner to beat in Race 5 at Pinjarra Scarpside.
  • Miss Chastain resumed with an impressive victory and now gains the blinkers for the first time. She looks the runner to beat in Race 8 at Doomben.
