Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 08/03/25

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Vinrock #3 Flemington R5
At Flemington, I think Vinrock is a standout pick of the day. Vinrock raced at Pakenham last start, covering 1200m and finishing 1st. Carried 58kg with Mark Zahra aboard. Track was good. Vinrock, trained by the capable M M Laurie, is sure to be a strong competitor on Saturday. Knows nothing but victory - a major contender again. Mark Zahra is in the saddle and in decent racing form. This should be a dangerous combo. Expect another strong showing on a good track at Flemington. Should get a charmed run from this gate, making things easier for him.
Best Roughie: Surprise Coming #1 Murray Bridge R7
Coming off a commanding win in its most recent race. Last time out, Surprise Coming competed over 1400m, placing 3rd at Morphettville Parks. Jumped from barrier 9, carried 60kg, and starting price of $7.50 odds. A deep barrier means he will need luck to slot into a good position. But Jake Toeroek has a knack for getting the best out of their horses. Could be another winning run. Under the watchful eye of R W Huxtable, Surprise Coming has shown a lot of promise leading up to this race.Performed well over this trip, winning 2 times from 8 starts. Performs well at this venue too - winning record makes it one to watch when racing at Murray Bridge. Yet to break through on a good track, but recent runs suggest it could be competitive.

The racing during the Autumn season is just hitting its stride this weekend as Group 1 races continue in New South Wales and Victoria.
The Randwick Guineas (1600m, $1M) dominates Randwick's racing schedule by presenting Australia's exceptional three-year-olds during a mile-distance race. Sprinters and milers competing in elite-level competition will participate in the Canterbury Stakes which runs 1300m while offering a prize of $750K. Flemington Racecourse hosts racing on Saturday with the highlight being the superior Handicap (1200m, $1.5M).
Australians who wish to bet have access to exciting promotional bonuses from new betting sites at the beginning of the season. The best betting sites bonuses of the week come from Betfocus, in my view.
They reward their users with bonus bets when their selected horses finish as runner-up in any race. The betting app for Apple and Android gives you plenty of racing bet options and enables you to use form guides and early speed maps to make successful predictions.
The upcoming Group 1 racing gives everyone the chance to get into the action and I think Betfocus should have you sorted for this week’s horse racing best bets.
