Best Bets of the Day

Only Racing has you covered for Saturday horse racing action at Sandown and Randwick. We have your best bet of the day as well as a cheeky roughie. I like the look of Fickle at Sandown in Race 5. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Unstopabull in Race 9 at Randwick. The track conditions at Sandown are looking good for racing, the track is a good 4 at this stage. 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: Fickle #6 Sandown R5

Fickle has consecutive victories with her most impressive effort at Moonee Valley on 28/12/2024 where from barrier 1 and carrying 61.5kg she showcased complete superiority under Craig Williams over 1000m. Before her recent race, she claimed victory at Caulfield Heath during a 1000m race on 12/12/2024 with 60kg as well. Her chances look bright after going to 54kg and she should get an excellent start from barrier position 2 while having Jamie Melham riding. Fickle will look for 4 straight wins and I wouldn’t back against her doing it on Saturday.

Best Roughie: Unstopabull #5 Randwick R9

Unstopabull should be a nice value roughie option in Randwick Race 9. Zac Lloyd helped his charge secure third place in a race at Wyong on 11/01/2025, he was carrying 57.5kg from barrier 2. Unstopabull secured victory over 1100m at Randwick while pulling 58.5kg with jockey Nash Rawiller aboard in his last race before that too.

His five race performances at 1200m show two first places and two strong third-placings. So he usually likes the 1200m trip. From barrier 5 on a favoured good track, Unstopabull shows promise for punters on Saturday afternoon at the track.
