Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 28/02/25

Find the best free horse racing tips and best bets for Friday's racing at Canterbury and Moonee Valley. I like the look of World Alliance at Canterbury in Race 6. Meanwhile, my roughie of the day is Loving Mandy at Moonee Valley in Race 6. The track at Canterbury is looking in good condition, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Friday. The track conditions at Moonee Valley are looking good for racing, the track is a good 4 at this stage. Let's get into it!

For the races at Canterbury, World Alliance is my number one pick to win. A competitive third-place effort last start, proving reliable. World Alliance raced at Randwick, covering 1000m and finishing 3rd. Carried 52kg with Reece Jones aboard. Track was good. Has won from similar barriers before, so should be fine. In the saddle will be James McDonald on Friday. They are a skilled jockey that I have full confidence in. Trainer Matthew Smith is confident that he can run well. Solid strike rate at this trip (1100m), should be competitive. At this trip, holds a record of 1-0-0, with 1 win.

A value runner for the day, Loving Mandy has the ability to shake things up in this race. Last race saw a brilliant performance, ending in victory. Loving Mandy lined up at Moonee Valley, finishing 1st over 955m. Backed at $6.50, jumped from barrier 7, and carried 54.5kg under Holly Durnan. I think she’ll enjoy running from the same barrier at the same track. Jockey Holly Durnan will ride this runner. This jockey is known for his ability to time the run perfectly. Has been trained by Dwayne Reid. Goes okay over this trip. At this range, has a career record of 3-1-0, including 3 victories. Has raced 3 times at this track, winning once and placing in the other. Usually solid in these good track conditions, 3 wins in 6 starts. Never far away, and Friday could be another good run.
