Enjoy the horse racing action with my Friday horse racing best bets. I like the look of Frankly Elegant at Canterbury in Race 5. I also like the look of Miss Titelinein Race 5 at Moonee Valley. At Canterbury, the track is rated a soft 6 at this stage so look for runners that like to run on a soft track. 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!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 31/01/25

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Frankly Elegant #5 Canterbury R5
Having run second in three straight races, Frankly Elegant has every chance to win this time around. Backed by three successful performances from four races at Canterbury, her 2 victories and 3 runner-up finishes on soft tracks prove she thrives in these conditions.
Last start, she ran second place over 1800m at Randwick-Kensington and handled the soft track while pulling 57.5kg. She earned second place at 1550m in her Canterbury race and has shown reliable results throughout this prep. Since she has won at this distance before moving up to 1900m should suit her well.
With barrier 1, past achievements and under jockey Tim Clark Frankly Elegant looks ready to succeed.
Best Roughie: Miss Titeline #7 Moonee Valley R5
Miss Titeline presents as an interesting roughie, boasting a solid place strike rate of 71% from her 21 career starts. She has been competitive at this trip before, finishing second over 1000m at Caulfield Heath two starts back, and while she is yet to win over the journey, she has placed in one of her two attempts.
Her last run at Flemington over 1000m didn’t go to plan, finishing last in a tough field, but prior to that, she was in strong form, including a win at Geelong over 1100m on a soft track. She has raced once at Moonee Valley, finishing third, and with barrier 1 and John Allen back in the saddle, she should get every chance to feature in the finish. A proven performer at odds, Miss Titeline is one to keep safe for exotics.
Stats and Insights
- Canterbury is a much tighter track than most NSW courses, giving significant advantage to close on pacers and those close to the rail in general. It also favours late rails-in-run horses due to the tight turning nature. At the Moonee Valley track, the #3 barrier has the most successful win percentage since 2017.
- R5 Canterbury - Frankly Elegant has finished 2nd in 3 straight races and has placed or won in 75% of her races at this track.
- R5 Moonee Valley - Miss Titeline holds a 14.29% win percentage and a 71.43% place career percentage.

Betting Sites Bonuses and Promotions
Australian Betting Sites are gearing up for another fun week of racing around the country. Last weekend, there were some interesting results at the track. Point and Shoot won the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale Bm72 for Bjorn Baker. At Sandown on Saturday afternoon, Damian Lane rode Coastwatch to victory in the Evergreen Turf John Dillon Stakes.
Horse racing promotions are a great way to add extra excitement to your betting and make even more profit if you get it right. This week, I like a new site in Australia, Sugarcastle. I think they have you covered for racing betting. One of the things that I like about them is the odds. They have pretty decent fixed racing odds and also show you fluctuations. Along with blended odds, best tote and same race multi, I think you’ll enjoy betting with them.
As far as horse racing apps go, Sugarcastle has designed a simple but user-friendly app. It’s widely available on Apple and Android devices. It doesn’t come with the most advanced features that you’ll ever see. But what it does have makes things quick and easy. You’ll never miss the jump with a speedy app that isn’t bogged down by innovation.
