Today's Racing Tip - Friday

Best Bets of the Day

It’s the last day of the month, and we’re ready to go out with a bang! The BettingTop10 team have crunched the numbers and locked in their three most confident plays of the day. If you’re having a bet on the races this Friday, make sure you check out our tips before all the action kicks off.

Today’s Best Bets

My horse racing betting tips have just landed, and I’ve honed in on three runners that I think really stand out from the crowd. I’ve also included the odds across multiple bookmakers, so you can lock in the best price possible.

NZ$2.50 with 20Bet

Quick Analysis:

The wide barrier is somewhat of a query for I Am Steffi, but the filly is in red-hot form coming into this one. She kicked things off with a second placing at Grafton by just 0.07L; she then broke her maiden last time out at the same track by over 2L. Archie McColm retains the ride, and he brings a 2kg weight relief as well. She’s got the fitness to fire back-to-back after winning last Sunday.

Geelong - Race 6, 5 PM

Top Pick: 

7. Charming Deel

Best Odds Available:

NZ$2.70 with 20Bet

Quick Analysis:

I’m in Geelong now for my next best bet, and Charming Deel looks like the win to be on in my eyes. It’s a decently-sized field, and the mare does come into this one as the favourite. She’s fairly deep into her prep, and has been good without managing to break through for a win. She has three second placings, including last time out at Warrnambool with Linda Meech in the saddle.

Scone - Race 6, 5:15 PM

Top Pick: 

6. Tacitly

Best Odds Available:

NZ$2.00 with Ivibet

Quick Analysis:

We’re currently getting even money for Tacitly, and while that’s certainly nothing to write home about, he is the deserved favourite. He finished second at this track last time out, to kick off his campaign. I think the drop back down to 1,400m here looks slightly more suitable. Mitchell Bell sticks for this one, and they get a slightly better barrier draw. There’s a lot to like.

Stats and Insights

  • Swexan has put together a strong campaign with two wins from seven starts and boasts an excellent record at Carnarvon. He can continue his winning form in Race 4 at Carnarvon.
  • Bold As Brass represents the Paul Jenkins stable and looks well placed to make a bold bid here. He can be right in the finish in Race 5 at Rockhampton.
  • Got Gumption led throughout for an impressive victory at Mackay last start and looks well placed to go on with it. He can make an impact at double-digit odds in Race 8 at Rockhampton.
