Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 27/02/25

Check out the free racing tips and best bets for Thursday's racing at Pakenham. I like the look of Appointed at Pakenham in Race 9. I also like the look of El Terceroin Race 4 at Pakenham. The track at Pakenham is looking in good condition, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Thursday. Let's get into it!

A top choice among punters, Appointed should be widely considered the best bet. A tough competitor who secured the win in the last start. Last start performance, Appointed placed 1st over 1100m at Caulfield Heath. Carried 58kg, guided by Jamie Melham, and started at $2.25. A tough draw but has the ability to handle it. At this stage, Jamie Melham is listed to ride his on Thursday. They should settle nicely into this race. Trained by Anthony & Sam Freedman. The distance is a bit of a query as it hasn't won before over 1000m, but this could be the race.
