Best Bets of the Day 17/11/24

With the dust settling on plenty of Group 1 contests across Victoria again this weekend, attention turns to Donald on Sunday, with a bumper 8-race offering out there for punters.

Each race on the card presents some intriguing betting opportunities and with so many options, OnlyRacing are on hand to find the very best bets for you.

Simple Times - Race 4 - Donald

Trainer Paddy Payne has been getting a good tune out of Simple Times recently and this looks like another chance to bag a solid win here at Donald.

Over 1200m looks to be the distance best suited to Simple Times and it has already picked up an impressive win over this trip already this term.

Excel And Fly is a genuine competitor in a packed field but Simple Times gets our tick in the box for this one.

Eight Martinis - Race 7 - Donald

The penultimate race of the day here at Donald is perhaps the best offering on the card and Ciaron Maher will be hopeful that Eight Martinis can land a win for him here.

This Kiwi flyer has been going well all season and has hit the post on plenty of occasions, making it a real contender in this very open field.

Haaland and Kentucky Nick will probably top the market but Eight Martinis will be chomping at the bit in this one.
