Best Bets of the Day

Follow along with me for the best free horse racing tips on race day! Thursday's racing action takes us to Pakenham and I have found a best bet for you at betting sites in Australia. There's also a juicy roughie to get on board. I like the look of Excelindeed at Pakenham in Race 7. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Kalimna Views in Race 8 at Pakenham. Conditions at Pakenham are holding steady at a good 4. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Excelindeed #6 Pakenham R7

Excelindeed is the top betting choice at Pakenham, based on strong stats and recent performances. Its form has been impressive. In its latest run, Excelindeed raced on the speed and maintained a solid effort, finishing 2nd of 12 at Sandown-Hillside in a 3yo Bm70 on March 19, covering 1400m and finishing 0.5 lengths behind Bossy Benita, carrying 56.5kg at $3.80. Before that, it finished 2nd in a small field at Pakenham in a 3yo Bm64 on February 27, covering 1200m, just a neck behind Supernima, carrying 59kg at $1.70. Excelindeed looks hard to beat and will take plenty of catching.

Best Roughie: Kalimna Views #11 Pakenham R8

Kalimna Views has shown consistent improvement and could make an impact at Pakenham. Competing in weaker class, this is its second-up run. In its first-up start after a six-month break, it finished 6th of 11 at this track in a 0-62 race on March 6, covering 1200m, 3.5 lengths behind Attain, carrying 57kg at $9. In a previous second-up run, it finished second last of 7 at Caulfield in a Vg Ingot race on July 27, covering 1400m, 8 lengths behind I Am Velvet, carrying 55kg at $6.50. Now fitter, Kalimna Views has the potential to hit the frame.

Racing punters should have enjoyed fantastic results from several Group 1 races during the recent weekend.

Leading trainer Michael Freedman took home a profitable victory at The Golden Slipper with Marhoona.

The Rosehill Guineas witnessed Broadsiding give an impressive performance which secured him a win against runner-up Aeliana and Swiftfalcon.

For racing promotions this week, Unibet is my preference. The unique racing promotional offerings from Unibet offer attractive value to punters along with odds that lead the market for competitiveness. Unibet presents countless betting markets for thoroughbred racing. Also, Unibet proves to be a fantastic betting platform because of its racing live stream capability and diverse banking choices and user-friendly horse betting apps that work for Apple and Android devices.
