Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 20/02/25

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: She's A Hustler #2 Pakenham R7
All signs point to She's A Hustler as the horse to beat at Pakenham. Ran second last start in a performance full of promise. Last start performance, She's A Hustler placed 2nd over 1732m at Sale. Carried 58kg, guided by Jordan Childs, and started at $2.35. Jockey Jordan Childs will be in the saddle this Thursday. Has a great winning strike rate and has placed/won in both starts on board. Also, She's A Hustler usually likes running first-up after a spell and she’s in that situation on Thursday too.
Best Roughie: Sacrify #3 Pakenham R4
I think Sacrify is a good roughie to bet on this Thursday, here is my preview of his form. Emerged victorious in the previous race, looking sharp once more. Last outing, Sacrify took on a 2000m race at Pakenham and finished 1st. Carried 58kg, started at $7.50, and handled a good surface. The draw could be tricky but not impossible to overcome. Jockey Jamie Mott will ride this runner. This jockey is known for his ability to time the run perfectly. Has been trained by Annabel Neasham and comes off some trial runs. Never beaten over this trip 2000m - hard to look past it. Performs well at this venue - winning record makes it one to watch when racing at Pakenham.
