Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets 18/02/25

Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: Dantooine #5 Kyneton R6
Dantooine is rated as Tuesday’s best bet, with form and conditions in its favour. Fought bravely for second in the previous race, full of merit. Dantooine raced recently, placing 2nd in a 1550m event at Mt Gambier. Jockey Harry Grace guided the runner, carrying 57kg. Started at $3.60 odds. Has won from similar barriers before, so should be fine. In the saddle will be Beau Mertens on Tuesday. They are a skilled jockey that I have full confidence in. Trainer Tom Dabernig is confident that he can run well. Has handled heavier weights in the past and still performed well.
Best Roughie: Artifactx #2 Newcastle R5
Artifactx is flying under the radar but could surprise punters on Tuesday. Last race saw a determined third-place effort, staying in contention for the majority of the race. A favourable gate could give it a tactical advantage. Louise Day is in the saddle and in nice racing form. This should be a dangerous combo. Artifactx has been under the guidance of G Portelli. Perfect record over this distance (1400m), loves every step of it.
