On Saturday, the racing continues with some expected quality races at Ascot and Rosehill. Bonjoy has caught my eye in Race 8 at Ascot. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Firestorm in Race 5 at Rosehill. The track conditions at Ascot are looking good for racing. The Rosehill track is a good 4 at this stage but that may change with rain coming. Let's get into the free Australian horse racing tips!
Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 22/02/25

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Bonjoy #6 Ascot R8
When it comes to the best bet for Saturday, Bonjoy ticks all the right boxes. Last start winner with a powerful finish. Bonjoy competed at Ascot over 1600m, finishing 1st. Jumped from barrier 6, carried 56kg, and was ridden by Johnston-Porter. A tough draw but has the ability to handle it. Jockey Clint Johnston-Porter gets the ride on Saturday. They're a talented jockey with a pretty good race sense. From the J F Miller Stable, you can expect a quality horse. At this venue, has a career record of 7-0-1, including 7 victories. So obviously loves running at Ascot.
Best Roughie: Firestorm #4 Rosehill R5
Firestorm is in decent enough form to trouble this field at Rosehill. A finish beyond the top four, yet still showing promise for upcoming runs. Firestorm stepped out at Flemington, finishing 6th over 2000m. Raced on a good surface, carrying 55kg under Damian Lane. After that race, she’s had a few months off and that should suit her nicely. In 4 starts coming off a spell, she has won 3 times.
The barrier draw looks great for this runner, she will start in the 5 Barrier. This Saturday, Jason Collett will be in the saddle and ready for a win. This race looks suitable for this tactical rider. With a decent bloodline, I think this horse can give a good showing. I think the track should suit Firestorm, she usually eats it up. This horse has put in some decent performances at this track before, boasting 2 wins from 2 runs.
Stats and Insights
- It has been noted by stewards and sharp punters recently that being on pace and close to the rail has been the best place/places to be at Rosehill in recent times, a track that is known to change every couple months in terms of bias so take good note of that.
- R8 Ascot - Clint Johnston-Porter and Bonjoy have formed a good combination before, winning 9 of 12 career starts.
- R5 Rosehill - Firestorm has won 3 of 4 starts when she has been first-up before. She’s also looking for a 3rd straight win at the track.
