Best Bets of the Day

On Friday, the racing continues with some expected quality races at Cranbourne and Muswellbrook. I like the look of Excelindeed at Cranbourne in Race 5. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Remember Jack in Race 8 at Muswellbrook. A good 4 track rating at Cranbourne means conditions are favourable for all runners on Friday. Conditions at Muswellbrook are holding steady at a good 4. Let's get into the free Australian horse racing tips!

Best Tip: Excelindeed #2 Cranbourne R5

I have singled Excelindeed out as the best bet of the day at Cranbourne, let me tell you why. On 19/03/2025, Excelindeed lined up at Sandown-Hillside, finishing 2nd over 1400m. Backed at $3.80, jumped from barrier 7, and carried 56.5kg under Blake Shinn. Has drawn a barrier that should help avoid early pressure. I’m confident that Ben Melham will ride a calculated race this Friday. Their history of strong performances makes them a reliable choice. This runner has been expertly prepared by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott, known for bringing out the best in their horses. Winless over 1400m so far, but could improve in the track conditions.

Best Roughie: Remember Jack #15 Muswellbrook R8

Long odds but big potential - Remember Jack is worth keeping an eye on at Muswellbrook. His last race result placed outside the top four, yet displayed some strong moments. Has handled this track condition before. Proven performer on good tracks, recording 25% wins and 37.5% placings from 8 starts. Could need some luck from this gate, but stranger things have happened. Having been trained by M A Milton, Remember Jack comes into this race well-prepared and confident. Solid record at this track, winning 2 times from 3 runs.
