Best Bets Of The Day 20/04/25

Attention turns to Easter Sunday racing and there is a very decent card indeed from Stawell this weekend.

All 8 races on the programme host some very strong contenders, with some of the biggest and best in Victoria in action and OnlyRacing are seeking out the best bets for you.

Shubael - Race 2 - Stawell

It looks to be all about Shubael in the second race this Sunday at Stawell, with this horse hoping to finally land its first win, at the 6th time of asking.

A few near misses, including over this distance at Cranbourne last time out, suggest this is a horse heading in the right direction and it has been improving steadily of late.

Declan Bates is the hoop, which feels like a good booking and while Elation And Joy could challenge, Shubael gets our nod here.

Dublin Journal - Race 6 - Stawell

The Stawell Gold Cup always attracts some decent horses and Irish stayer Dublin Journal could be a great outside shot for this one.

2000m or more is very much its bag and while it has been inconsistent of late, it is important to point out that it has been operating at a higher level than this.

The Hayes yard are bang in form and while Precious Charm is a justified market leader, Dublin Journal looks well worth a go at this price.
