Best Tip: Lugarno #3 Hawkesbury R5

Lugarno is in great form at the moment and I’m expecting the trend to continue in this race on Thursday afternoon. He’s coming off a solid win at Kembla Grange last start on a heavy track. Hawkesbury will bring different conditions with a good track. Lugarno has 5 starts on good tracks and has been unlucky not to get a win, finishing 2nd three times. Distance record is good as well so bodes well for this race. Good odds at either PlayUp, Chasebet or Questbet.

Stats and Insights

Hawkesbury Racecourse is known to have a very real home track advantage and pro punters have affirmed that there are certain runners that irrespective of their form at other tracks, if they perform historically at Hawkesbury then that form is likely genuine.

Mornington is a testing track that is short but sharp, it has an uphill 200m straight. Runners need to be close before the turn to account for this.

The first 3-4 races in most meetings are called "Maidens" and these races are usually risky and unpredictable. This is because the runners are usually making their debut or have only had a few starts. So it's advisable to stay from these races unless you have a good bankroll.

Betting Sites Bonuses and Promotions

After a weekend of thrilling Group 1 races 2024 at Flemington and Randwick, the action doesn’t stop this weekend. The key races are at Caulfield Racecourse on Saturday afternoon with the Caulfield Guineas, Toorak Handicap and Caulfield Stakes. With 5 million prize money up for grabs in just those 3 races alone, it figures to be a huge day at the track.

The Melbourne Cup is also just around the corner and this is a great time to take up betting bonuses at Aussie bookies. One of my favourite sites this week is Picklebet. They have some promos and offers, that should help you this week. They have a bonus back if your first bet loses as well as a 25% winnings boost on Monday.

With other racing features like same race multi, top 4 betting, speed maps, form guides and a user-friendly app, I highly recommend giving them a go for this week’s racing action around the country.
