Best Exotic Bets of the Day | 21/02/25

Exotic Bets of the Day
Exacta - Moonee Valley - R3
1st: 1, 3, 8, 10
2nd: 1, 3, 8, 10
Winmar: I think Winmar is primed to figure in a big exotic payout. Winmar is in its third start, continuing to find its stride and show potential.
Facilitate: Facilitate is a strong candidate for exacta bets. Making a first appearance, expectations are high for Facilitate.
Excels: Excels is a useful runner for exotic bets. is making its debut, with anticipation surrounding the performance. Won its only trial.
Pacific Glamour: I think it will be eager to show potential in its debut and has trialled well. Won a 5 horse field barrier trial last year.
Exacta - Moonee Valley - R8
1st: 6, 7, 9, 11
2nd: 6, 7, 9, 11
Better Link: Better Link has each-way claims and should be considered in exotics. A finish outside the top four last start, but there were positives to take away. Last outing, Better Link took on a 1200m race at Sandown-Lakeside and finished 5th. Carried 58.5kg, started at $7.00, and handled a good surface.
Overactive: Including Overactive in exotics could lead to a big payout at Moonee Valley. Showed plenty of heart to finish third last run, running on well late. Last start, Overactive finished in the placings over 1200m at Sandown-Lakeside on 25/01/2025. Carried 58.5kg under M Zahra, started at $4.00. Track rated good.
Excess: Excess has the ability to run into the placings, ideal for exotic bets. Claimed victory in the previous race. Excess stepped out at Moonee Valley, finishing 1st over 1200m. Raced on a good surface, carrying 61kg under Jamie Mott. Performs well at this venue - winning record makes it one to watch when racing at Moonee Valley.
Duel Venture: If you’re playing exotics, Duel Venture deserves a spot. Wasn’t far off last start, finishing in second with a strong performance. Duel Venture ran at Sandown-Lakeside on 29/01/2025, finishing 2nd in a 1200m event. Jockey Logan Bates was aboard, carrying 55.5kg. Track was rated good.
Exacta - Canterbury - R3
1st: 2, 4, 6, 8
2nd: 2, 4, 6, 8
Ramones: Ramones is expected to be competitive, should be a good bet. Ran a strong third in the previous outing, keeping pressure on the leaders. Ramones raced at Newcastle, covering 1250m and finishing 3rd. Carried 54kg with Mitch Stapleford aboard. Track was good. Hasn’t won at Canterbury yet, but might be ready to change that.
Kaihoko: An overlooked contender, Kaihoko could be key to exotic success. Secured third last start, proving to be in solid form. Kaihoko lined up at Taree, finishing 3rd over 1250m. Backed at $9.50, jumped from barrier 8, and carried 55kg under L P Rolls. Solid strike rate at this trip (1250m), should be competitive.
Master Of Disguise: I expect Master Of Disguise to play a role in exotic dividends. A dominant display in the last race makes this runner hard to ignore.
Roses Imminente: Roses Imminente has potential written all over him. Coming off a commanding win in its most recent race. Last start, Roses Imminente finished in the placings over 1300m at Dubbo on 04/10/2024. Carried 56kg under Ashley Morgan, started at $4.20. Track rated good.
