Exotic Bets of the Day

The races continue on Friday and Onlyracing is here to give you some free Australian horse racing tips to enjoy. In this one, I'm discussing 3 races and 4 runners per race that I think will finish in the top two.

Exacta - Strathalbyn - R2

1st: 5, 10, 8, 9

2nd: 5, 10, 8, 9

Miss Pantherlot: An overlooked contender, Miss Pantherlot could be key to exotic success. Didn’t crack the top four last start but was competitive for much of the race. Miss Pantherlot raced recently, placing 5th in a 1050m event at Balaklava.

Like A Diamond: If you’re playing wide exotics, Like A Diamond deserves a spot. Chased hard last start but had to settle for second place. Last start performance, Like A Diamond came 2nd over 1200m at Mt Gambier.

Dream Baby: Exactas should feature Dream Baby this Friday. As a third-time starter, Dream Baby is building on its earlier performances and gaining confidence.

Hysterical Lady: Hysterical Lady is in the mix for exotics. Strong performance last start, finishing a close second. Hysterical Lady competed at Oakbank over 1100m, finishing 2nd.

Exacta - Gold Coast - R1

1st: 2, 3, 4, 6

2nd: 2, 3, 4, 6

Red Code: Red Code has potential written all over him. Won a trial at Toowoomba. Big watch in its first race.

Solidude: You might regret leaving Solidude out of your exotic bets this Friday. With natural improvement expected from the debut, Solidude returns for another run. Last time out, Solidude competed over 1200m, placing 3rd at Gold Coast Poly.

Statement Of Truth: Statement Of Truth debuts Friday, with high hopes from connections for a strong showing in this first race.

Wily Jack: Debuting on Friday, Wily Jack has been showing plenty of promise in training, expect a bold performance.

Exacta - Gold Coast - R8

1st: 3, 5, 8, 9

2nd: 3, 5, 8, 9

Guarded Optimist: Guarded Optimist could be the missing piece in a big payout bet. Fought bravely for second in the previous race, full of merit. Guarded Optimist stepped out at Eagle Farm on 12/03/2025, finishing 2nd over 1800m. Winless at Gold Coast - needs to lift to turn that around, this could be his race to do it.

Enterprise Private: I think Enterprise Private will be an important inclusion for this Friday exacta. Last race didn’t result in a top-four finish, but signs of progress were evident. On 03/03/2025, Enterprise Private lined up at Port Macquarie, finishing 9th over 1812m. Familiarity with the Gold Coast track should give him an advantage.

San Jose Boy: Including San Jose Boy in exotics could pay off this Friday. Impressive second last start, indicating top form. Last start performance, San Jose Boy came 2nd over 1600m at Sunshine Coast.

Tietar: Tietar could be the dark horse that completes a strong exotic play. A solid fourth last start, displaying consistency and strength. Tietar ran at Grafton on 22/03/2025, finishing 4th in a 1610m event.
