On Friday, the racing continues with some expected quality races at Moonee Valley and night racing continues as we get closer to Summer. I'm heading to Moonee Valley for my best bet of the day in Race 5. The track at Moonee Valley is looking in good condition, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Friday. Let's get into the racing tips for Friday!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 01/11/24

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Fission #2 Moonee Valley R5
In its recent race at Moonee Valley, Fission came in third, not too far behind 1st and 2nd. After that run, it should have a good chance of running a place in this race. Luke Nolen is in good form and should be able to get a good run. A lot of winning form on dry tracks, the Moonee Valley track should suit it nicely. Definitely due for a win and has a good record at the Valley, placing in 8 of 9 starts and that includes 2 wins.
Best Roughie: Haaland #7 Moonee Valley R7
For my roughie of the day, I like the look of Haaland in Race 7. He has a good record third-up and should be at peak fitness on Friday night. In his only race at the Valley, he placed and I think Ryan Hurdle can get into a good position from Barrier 6. Should also enjoy the longer distance at 2040m.
Stats and Insights
- At the Moonee Valley track, the #3 barrier has the most successful win percentage since 2017.
- Race 7 Moonee Valley - Haaland has a 46% career place rate percentage.
- 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.
Best Horse Racing Betting Sites
Betting Sites Bonuses and Promotions
Via Sistina won the Cox Plate on the weekend and beat Winx's race record in the process. Despite not nominating for the Melbourne Cup, she has shot into favouritism around horse racing betting sites. The Group 1 races 2024 continue this week, highlighted by Derby Day on Saturday at Flemington Racecourse.
The live horse racing action should be excellent to watch all week and I suggest finding some racing promotions to increase your profit on winning bets. So, I think Winnersbet is worth looking at. They have bonus bets available if your runner finishes 2nd or 3rd in a race. There are also opportunities to boost the odds for all thoroughbred racing.
The fun doesn’t stop there as Winnersbet is one of the only Australian betting sites to offer a rewards program. So, you can earn points every time you bet and get some nice rewards as a result. Along with a quick-loading mobile app, I think this bookie has everything you need to bet on the races.
