Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 04/01/25

Follow along with me for the best free horse racing tips on race day! Saturday's racing action takes us to Geelong and Randwick and I have found a best bet for you at betting sites in Australia. There's also a juicy roughie to get on board. I like the look of Haraldus at Geelong in Race 6. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Autumnmation in Race 6 at Randwick. The track at Geelong is looking in good condition, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Saturday. At Randwick, the track conditions should be nice for race day, it's a good 4 rating at the moment. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Haraldus #10 Geelong R6

In its last race on December 15 at Bendigo, he surged to the front, winning by 0.2 lengths. He carried 58.5kg and managed to beat Make It Sweet (60kg), which was quite impressive, especially at $1.85 odds. So, it's definitely in top form right now. Before that, Haraldus finished first at Caulfield Heath in a BM64 on November 28, 2024, over 1200m. Should enjoy the distance (1400m). Has had success before in dry conditions so the track conditions should suit. Seems like it should run well and should be a solid bet for punters.
