Looking for some free Australian horse racing tips to enjoy this Friday? OnlyRacing has you covered! I'm heading to Geelong for my best bet of the day in Race 4. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Top Arctic in Race 9 at Geelong. At Geelong, the track conditions should be nice for race day, it's a good 4 rating at the moment. Let's get into it!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 23/08/24

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: She's A Hustler #13 Geelong R4
She's A Hustler is first-up on Friday. Has a positive first-up record in its career. Last race at Matamata, She's A Hustler was right up there in the finish, just placing second. It showed some speed and battled on fairly well. That should be a good form guide for this race and I think it could easily get the win this time. In this race, I think it's got another suitable draw, which should make it tough to beat. A lot of winning form on dry tracks, the Geelong track should suit it nicely.
Best Roughie: Top Arctic #6 Geelong R9
Lachlan King was on board the last run and won over 1600m at Ballarat. So I think that's a good form guide for Friday's race and should be tough to beat down the straight. Before that, Top Arctic finished first at Sale in a BM64 on July 28, 2024, over 1746m. I think it's a real genuine each-way chance.
Stats and Insights
- The Geelong course proper is known as a track that gives every horse its chance as the circumference is 2043 metres with a straight distance of 400 metres.
- Geelong Race 9 - Top Arctic has a 41% career place rate.
- 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.
