When it comes to the best bet for Thursday, Rose De Vellor ticks all the right boxes. Rose De Vellor has demonstrated remarkable consistency, placing in three straight races. Rose De Vellor stepped out at Pakenham on 27/03/2025, finishing 2nd over 1100m. Raced on a good surface, carrying 56.5kg under Craig Williams. A strong gate position could help her control the tempo from the start. Jockey Logan Bates is looking sharp ahead of Thursday. With their keen eye and strong race judgment, they’ll be a key factor. From the Charlotte Littlefield Stable, you can expect a quality horse. Yet to crack it at this track (Pakenham) - will this race be the one?

Nats Enough presents good value for punters that are looking for a decent each-way bet. Finished a solid third last start, showing consistency. Last time out, Nats Enough competed over 1400m, placing 3rd at Wagga. Jumped from barrier 3, carried 55kg, and starting price of $26.00 odds. An inside gate could see it settle in a handy position. Jockey John Kissick will be in the saddle this Thursday. Has a great winning strike rate. This runner comes from the W G Carroll Stable. Still searching for a breakthrough at 1400m - this race might be perfect. Winless at Albury - needs to lift to turn that around, this could be his race to do it.

It was an action-packed weekend of Group 1 races on Saturday at Randwick Racecourse in Sydney, with key results that will shape future betting markets. Matcha Latte got the job done in the Provincial-Midway Championships Final, holding off Lord of Biscay in a strong finish. In the Australian Oaks, favourite Treasurethe Moment delivered a dominant win, while roughie Arapaho caused a major upset in the Sydney Cup, an important lead-up for Melbourne cup betting later in the year.

Meanwhile, Via Sistina continued her winning form by defeating Dubai Honour in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, and Fangirl added another victory to the impressive James McDonald and Chris Waller partnership in the Queen of the Turf Stakes.
