Enjoy the horse racing action with my Friday free racing tips. I'm heading to Cranbourne for my best bet of the day in Race 9. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Torbelo in Race 6 at Cranbourne. The track conditions at Cranbourne are looking good for racing, the track is a good 4 at this stage. Let's get into it!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 11/10/24

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Placentia Bay #8 Cranbourne R9
Last time out, this horse made a late surge and finished a close second over 1600m at Bendigo, just behind the winner Theophilus (58kg). Is definitely one to watch and could be hard to beat. This horse goes on top for me. Previously, 1st of 11 at Cranbourne Mdn on September 5, 2024 over 1600m. Has a 50% career win rate so it knows how to win. Loves this track as it has yet to finish outside the top 3. Very good stats when it's racing at this 1600m distance. Has had success before in dry conditions so the track conditions should suit. In winning form, don't look past it.
Best Roughie: Torbelo #2 Cranbourne R6
In the last run for Torbelo, it had a perfect run and won, looking much fitter. This horse knows how to bring the heat and last time out at Swan Hill, it showed us exactly what he's made of. With Ben Allen in the saddle, it's a force to be reckoned with and could very well take the win again. Before that, Torbelo finished first at Geelong in an Mdn on September 13, 2024, over 2460m. Has finished in the top three over 70% in its career. Likes dry conditions, rates highly. I think it's a real genuine each way chance.
Stats and Insights
- Stats at Cranbourne show that barriers four to ten are the best at all distances at Cranbourne.
- The longer distances have a steep uphill climb from the 600m to the winning post so look for bigger type horses at Cranbourne.
- The first 3-4 races in most meetings are called "Maidens" and these races are usually risky and unpredictable. This is because the runners are usually making their debut or have only had a few starts. So it's advisable to stay from these races unless you have a good bankroll.

After a weekend of thrilling Group 1 races 2024 at Flemington and Randwick, the action doesn’t stop this weekend. The key races are at Caulfield Racecourse on Saturday afternoon with the Caulfield Guineas, Toorak Handicap and Caulfield Stakes. With 5 million prize money up for grabs in just those 3 races alone, it figures to be a huge day at the track.
The Melbourne Cup is also just around the corner and this is a great time to take up betting bonuses at Aussie bookies. One of my favourite sites this week is Picklebet. They have some promos and offers, that should help you this week. They have a bonus back if your first bet loses as well as a 25% winnings boost on Monday.
With other racing features like same race multi, top 4 betting, speed maps, form guides and a user-friendly app, I highly recommend giving them a go for this week’s racing action around the country.
