Racing comes back to Bendigo racecourse and Sunshine Coast racecourse this Sunday for two bumper cards off the back of what was a bit of an all over the place day for our free horse racing tips in NSW, VIC and QLD but I am keen to close the week out in a big way and as usual have picked out a best bet and best outside chance of the day across the two cards. There are also the best racing promotions across our Aussie horse racing betting sites outlined in this article. In the final part of the article you should find some helpful track insights for both the racecourses which should assist your horse racing betting. Follow me below for another great day of racing this Sunday!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 22/04/24

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Mildura - R4 - #3 - Dynamic Deel
Shogun Express is the horse to get past for me in a decently competitive 2000m race tomorrow. He’s had two runs to kick the career off and has continued to improve with each despite not getting the easiest of runs either time. He was good on debut rolling forward and sticking on before running home nicely into midfield behind an all the way winner. He looks very suited getting out in trip now and will be sharp here with Egan aboard.

*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: Cairns - R3 - #1 - Nazorian
Nazorian just never runs poorly and has to shape up well once again for Janel Ryan after running two weeks ago and being beaten less then two lengths and she only looked to be getting stronger through the line. She’s a true sprinter and a close runner up in Heavy ground in two runs and it looks like we’re set for the track to be near Heavy if not. I think she shapes up well at a decent price.

Stats and Insights
- Cairns racecourse is of triangular shape so it has sweeping turns that allow runners to come on strong at most turns
- The home straight turn is much sharper than the other two sweeping turns and as such it is harder to beat the leader / rail over the 1000m and 1200m at Cairns
- Mildura is quite an even track in terms of barrier draws with most offering an even chance of winning

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.
