Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 20/03/25

On Thursday, the racing continues with some expected quality races at Pakenham and Albury. Big Swinger has caught my eye in Race 5 at Pakenham. Meanwhile, my roughie of the day is Gundy Guy at Albury in Race 7. The tracks at Pakenham and Albury are in great shape for racing, sitting at a good 4 rating. Let's get into the free Australian horse racing tips!

Big Swinger is carrying the tag of my best bet, and I think it will have strong support behind it. Came in beyond the top four last start, but still showing signs of promise. Last outing, Big Swinger took on a 1400m race at Flemington and finished 5th. Carried 54kg, started at $3.40, and handled a good surface. Previous wins on this surface suggest another strong run is likely. A favourable gate could give it a tactical advantage. In the saddle will be Craig Williams on Thursday. They are a skilled jockey that I have full confidence in. Trained under the expert eye of Charlotte Littlefield, expect nothing less than top performance from Big Swinger. This trip of 1200m suits perfectly, proven performer time and time again. Handles the distance well, boasting 2 wins from 2 runs.

At the Albury track, Gundy Guy is a horse that I've liked betting on before. Let's see if it continues. A game second-place effort last start, showcasing strong ability. Gundy Guy stepped out at Canberra on 09/03/2025, finishing 2nd over 1000m. Raced on a good surface, carrying 55kg under Ashley Morgan. The barrier draw looks ideal for this runner, it usually likes a wide run. Expect Shaun Guymer to be in control this Thursday. Their experience and race craft make them a strong contender for the win. Gundy Guy has been fine-tuned by Todd Smart for this race, and I expect a strong performance. Strong history on good tracks, making it a major player in this race. Good track stats with a win rate of 50% and place rate of 75%.
