Best Exotic Betting Tips of the Day | 02/08/24

Exotic Tips of the Day
Exacta - Ballarat Synthetic - R4
1st: 1, 2, 9, 8
2nd: 1, 2, 9, 8
Advance To Jaffa: Resuming on Friday. Has a positive first-up record in its career. Last race was a 3rd place finish at Ballarat over 1500m Racing well at the moment, so I like its chances.
Flashbang: In its last run, Flashbang placed 4th at Seymour on July 2 over 1300m, just 1.1 lengths behind Pop Quiz (57.5kg). I think it can run well here too.
Lady Avenger: Resuming on Friday. Last run, it finished 3rd at Terang over 1000m. Should be right in the thick of things. Loves this track, is yet to finish outside the top 3.
I'm A Delight: In good form and has strong claims to win on Friday. Last start was a good one, placing 2nd in a Mdn at Warrnambool over 1400m.
Exacta - Ballarat Synthetic - R8
1st: 5, 6, 8, 3
2nd: 5, 6, 8, 3
Platinum Field: Platinum Field showed some form at Ballarat Synthetic last time. In it's last start, Platinum Field placed 3rd out of 12 in a BM58 on July 16 over 1100m, on a synthetic track, just 2.1 lengths behind Gator (55.5kg) with 61kg at $4.40. In winning form, don't look past it.
Tycoon Jenny: In its last run, this horse finished 12 of 14 at Seymour in a BM64 on July 22, 2024 over 1200m, 6.0 lengths behind Battaglia (59kg). Previous success running first-up in it's career and should enjoy the racing conditions at Ballarat Synthetic.
En Primeur: Last time this horse hit the track, En Primeur put in a better effort, and that's something to take note of for Friday's race. With Tom Prebble riding, you know that En Primeur has got a jockey who can handle business. Loves the distance and I hope that continues over the 1200m.
True Nobility: At Bendigo on June 27, True Nobility finished 9th out of 10, while carrying 59.5kg at $14.00 odds. But could improve here.
Exacta - Coffs Harbour - R7
1st: 2, 3, 1, 6
2nd: 2, 3, 1, 6
En Francais: Last run was a 6th finish at Sunshine Coast over 1400m. But, I think En Francais could run well here from barrier 3. Solid top 3 record, I like it.
King Of The Castle: It hit the track on July 20 and King Of The Castle put in a solid effort, finishing 8th out of 11. Friday's race sees some good odds to have a crack, I think. With Reece Jones on board, that gives me confidence too. Should enjoy the distance (1600m).
Charterhouse: Last time on the track, it placed 3rd out of 11 in the Open at Rosehill on July 20. That race was on a soft track and it came in 0.7 lengths behind More Secrets (54.5kg). Should be in the mix.
Ha Ha Ha: Last start, Ha Ha Ha was 5th of 6 at Randwick on July 27 over 1600m on a heavy track, 8.0 lengths behind Space Age (52kg) with 56.5kg at $2.60. But it should improve here. Has enjoyed racing third-up in it's career.

- With the Exacta, your payout depends on which of the Aussie TABs is in your area.
- The Exacta usually pays out more than the Quinella since it's trickier to pick the horses in the right order.
- Exacta's are a good bet if you're really confident in a horse to win, especially if it's a short-priced favourite.
