Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 12/04/25

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Treasurethe Moment #2 Randwick R6
Treasurethe Moment has all the right factors in its favour, making it my strongest selection for Saturday. With three consecutive placings, Treasurethe Moment has shown its ability to stay competitive. Last time out, Treasurethe Moment competed over 2000m, placing 1st at Rosehill. Jumped from barrier 5, carried 56kg, and starting price of $1.40 odds. This gate should give her the opportunity to dictate terms early on. Expect Damian Lane to be in control this Saturday. Their experience and race craft make them a strong contender for the win. Trainer M M Laurie has a reputation for getting the best out of horses like Treasurethe Moment. A mud-lover with a history of excelling when the track is rain-affected. Solid on soft tracks, winning 2 times from 2 runs.
Best Roughie: The Boss Lady #10 Ascot R8
Don’t underestimate The Boss Lady - this roughie has what it takes to pull off a surprise win. Strong finishing effort led to a win last time out. The Boss Lady stepped out at Pinjarra Scarpside on 26/12/2024, finishing 1st over 1300m. Raced on a good surface, carrying 59kg under Barry Parnham. Should be well suited by this barrier, which allows her to be handy in the run. On Saturday, Brad Parnham will be guiding The Boss Lady. Known for their precision, this combination should perform well. With a decent bloodline, I think this horse can give a good showing. This trip of 1100m suits perfectly, proven performer time and time again. Has experience at this distance, with 3 wins in 3 starts. Performed well here, winning 7 times from 10 starts. Consistently delivers its best efforts on good ground, a must-watch runner. Performed well on good surfaces, winning 9 times from 12 starts.

The racing at Randwick created an exciting Saturday last week because several horses delivered exceptional performances. The Country Championships Final provided Know Thyself with a momentous success. Vinrock demonstrated superior racing ability by winning the Inglis Sires' Produce Stakes. Briasa stunned the field in the TJ Smith Stakes after it passed heavily favoured Overpass during the race. The promising Stefi Magnetica gave trainer Bjorn Baker a massive win in the Doncaster Mile, followed by the well-favoured Aeliana, who produced a dominating performance in the Australian Derby.
Five Group one races headline the Randwick meeting this Saturday including the highly anticipated $5 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes. The Sydney Cup utilises 3,200 metres for authentic staying races and the Australian Oaks pits three-year-old fillies against each other over 2,400 metres before elite mares battle it out in the Queen of the Turf Stakes running a mile distance. The Provincial-Midway Championships Final run over 1,400m at the end of the card awards $1 million in prize money. Stay tuned for Saturday racing tips later in the week.
