The racing continues at Pakenham, Taree and Canberra on Friday and this article will give you horse racing tips for 3 of the best races that I think you should watch out for.
Best Exotic Tips of the Day | 18/10/24

Exotic Tips of the Day
Exacta - Pakenham - R7
1st: 2, 1, 7, 6
2nd: 2, 1, 7, 6
Procureable: Previously, it finished 6th of 12 at Sandown-Hillside in a BM70. But I like its second-up record as it has won before in this situation.
Belle Inferno: In its last race, Belle Inferno was 4th at Ballarat on September 20 over 1500m, just 1.3 lengths behind Star Croupier (57kg). This should be another race where I think it can potentially improve and get over the field.
Fine Rebel: In its last start, Fine Rebel was 59kg and ended up finishing 2nd, behind Bower Boy (61.5kg) over 1600m. Good record at the distance and has won before at this track.
Finale: With Egan on board last start, won at Tatura (1450m). So hopefully that form continues into Friday's race. On Friday, Jake Noonan is in the saddle and knows how to win. Get on board.
Exacta - Taree - R6
1st: 15, 7, 10, 5
2nd: 15, 7, 10, 5
Subuki: Last time out, it finished 3rd out of 11 in the Open at Port Macquarie on September 29. That race was over 1800m on a soft track and it came in 3.8 lengths behind Our Bambino (61kg). Definitely among the winning chances.
Bonus Tempus: In its recent race at Cootamundra, Bonus Tempus came in third, not too far behind 1st and 2nd. After that run, it should have a good chance of running a place in this race. Robyn Freeman is in good form and should be able to get a good run.
He's A Copy Boy: Last start, finished 3rd of 8 at Taree in a BM66 over 1614m, just 1.8 lengths behind Silent Russian (58kg) carrying 55kg at $4.40.
Better Explain: Should enjoy the heavy track as he has won before on this type of track. Also has placed previously over 1600m.
Exacta - Canberra - R7
1st: 5, 6, 11, 1
2nd: 5, 6, 11, 1
Pretty Sassy: In its last race at Cootamundra on October 6, it came out on top with a winning margin of 0.8 lengths. It was carrying 56.5kg and held off Kaida Blaze (58.5kg), which was pretty good to watch at $8.00 odds. So, it's looking in good touch for this race.
Bold Triumph: Its last race saw this horse finish 11 of 13 at Wagga in a Cls 3 over 1200m. However, I think Bold Triumph can do a better job here from Barrier 8.
Urafiki: I like the look of Urafiki in Race 7 at Canberra on Friday. Previously won at Moruya over 1200m, carrying 57kg. That was a really good win, so I think Urafiki should be tough to beat on Friday too.
Ronny Rock Art: In strong form and has good claims to win on Friday. Last start was an almost win, finishing 2nd in a BM66 over 1300m at Goulburn.

- Flexi Betting lets you bet a bit of the full dividend, so you can stick to your budget by taking a smaller cut of the total win.
- 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.
