Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Newcastle - R7 - #10 - Jimmysstar
Hard to knock Ciaron Maher’s Jimmysstar in the Stakes race of the day at Newcastle and this guy has had an absolute belter start to his career with five wins and two runner up placings in his short seven career start and he looks to have been astutely placed here for a ratings boosting win. After resuming with a big bang at Caulfield at the beginning of last month he stepped out at Flemington two weeks ago in some tough company and was asked to go inside at the 400m when fighting hard to the line, losing a plate and still only being beaten by a head in a very tight go. I think they will take that as a lesson to not ride him too hard in front and with the tactics changed for this race he should prove extremely tough to beat.

*The Best Tote bet type pays bettors the highest dividend declared by the three national totes. The VIC TAB, NSW TAB and UBet. This likely means that there aren't fixed odds available at the time of writing this on that bookmaker and there likely will be.
Best Roughie: Moonee Valley - R5 - #5 - Think 'N' Fly
I think that Think ‘N’ Fly is being somewhat overlooked here in the market for the Noonan camp. He won three back at Ararat over the 2200m before chasing hard at Bendigo in a very strong run that saw him just miss the win and come second and then stepped out at Flemington in tough company last time out where he sat on the leaders backs and chased hard to finish just behind the placings. Hard fit, in form and back in depth all make a good recipe for this assignment.

Stats and Insights
- There is a very clear frontrunning bias at Moonee Valley even up until the staying distance of 2000m+, when considering between two selections see where they map to be in the run.
- Kris Lees has an impressive 26% strike rate at Newcastle and has a few runners placed in the racing at the track so watch closely.
- Newcastle is a spacious and flat track with a 400m straight that gives almost all barriers an equal chance to run on.
Best Racing Promotions
Promotions have historically been a great way for bettors to gain an advantage over betting sites by providing an edge to your bet. For racing specifically these promotions can be extensive in providing you some form of ‘outs’ to your bet that you wouldn’t normally receive.
Palmerbet, in recent weeks, has stood out to me across the Aussie betting sites that offer racing promotions and is one that I would take a look at, especially for big race days that feature Group 1 races and Saturday’s in general.
On our site we have a Palmerbet Review that goes in depth into the bookmaker as well as a Vicbet and Punterspal Review amongst some of the other top bookmakers that frequently have promotions.
Promotions tend to change regularly, so it is important to sign up to these betting sites to stay updated on the latest applicable promotions.
I am an avid horse racing enthusiast and punter. Growing up in Randwick, I have been surrounded by racing through stories from the elderly’s past endeavours to the racecourse and owners that are friends of the family. I am also a data-scientist and am fascinated and intrigued by the algorithmic approach to form. I’ve has become more involved with racing over the past few years due to simultaneously delving deeper into the sport and learning how to apply a data driven approach to punting. Beyond Racing, I am an avid NRL fan and MMA fan, the latter of which I have largely applied the same philosophy of methodical, data driven punting towards and found solid success in the MMA space and I continue to track and improve my strategies.
