Best Bets of the Day

Enjoy the horse racing action with my Tuesday horse racing best bets. I'm heading to Sale for my best bet of the day in Race 5. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Artful Persuasion in Race 7 at Kembla Grange. The track is rated a good 5 for racing at Sale on Tuesday. The track at Kembla Grange is looking in good condition, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Tuesday. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Somebodytolove #8 Sale R5

I like the chances of Somebodytolove to have one of the strongest chances on the card. Was too good in its previous race, claiming a solid win. Somebodytolove raced at Werribee, covering 1400m and finishing 1st. Carried 58kg with Stephanie Hateley aboard. Track was good. An inside gate could see it settle in a handy position. At this stage, Stephanie Hateley is listed to ride her on Tuesday and she’ll be getting a 3kg advantage. They should settle nicely into this race. Has raced 2 times over this distance, winning both times. Could do it again.

Best Roughie: Artful Persuasion #3 Kembla Grange R7

If you’re looking for an outsider with a shot, Artful Persuasion might be your best bet. A finish outside the top four, but not without merit - could be one to watch. Last time out, Artful Persuasion competed over 1500m, placing 10th at Rosehill. Jumped from barrier 3, carried 59kg, and starting price of $10.00 odds. He’s now first-up after his last run and has a 1-1-0 in 2 career starts when first-up before, bodes well. Jockey Grant Buckley will ride this runner. This jockey is known for his ability to time the run perfectly. Trainer Mitchell Beer has given him the all clear to run on Tuesday. Competitive at this track, winning twice in 5 starts and has placed or won in 80% of his runs here.
