Best Bets of the Day 27/01/25

Victorian racing is in full flow in 2025 and Geelong is at the heart of the action this Monday, with some huge races on the agenda.

As ever, with such variety on the card, picking the best bets is never easy but OnlyRacing have their fingers on the pulse for all the latest market movements.

Maycomb - Race 3 - Geelong

Chris Waller remains one of the most prolific trainers in the business and he will be looking for Maycomb to open its account in this one.

It has come close in both of its previous outings, hitting the post particularly hard at Pakenham last time out and it is being challenged to break its duck here.

Steadfast is an experienced challenger but Maycomb is the market leader with very good reason here.

Prince Of Byron - Race 8 - Geelong

Irish flyer Prince Of Byron has been out of action for a few weeks but its form prior to that was incredible and it finds itself bang in the mix here at Geelong.

Not having raced for half a year does make it a riskier bet but Prince Of Byron has won in tougher fields than this and it is never far away.

Rezone should be the market leader but Prince Of Byron could be worth an outside punt for those chasing value.
