Best Exotic Bets of the Day | 12/04/25

Looking to place exotic bets on Saturday? Only Racing has you covered! We've got 3 exotic tips at the best tracks of the day: Bendigo, Newcastle and Morphettville.

1st: 1, 3, 5, 2

2nd: 1, 3, 5, 2

Eternal Darkness: Including Eternal Darkness in exotics could lead to a big payout at Bendigo. Still early in its career, Eternal Darkness third race shows promise and room for improvement. Last start performance, Eternal Darkness came 1st over 1000m at Moonee Valley. No wins at Bendigo yet, but this could be the day Eternal Darkness turns things around. Previous wins on this surface suggest another strong run is likely.

Killiana: Killiana has the ability to run into the placings, ideal for exotic bets. The horse is in its third start, improving and ready to take on more competitive challenges. On 15/03/2025, Killiana lined up at Caulfield, finishing 4th over 1200m. Bendigo Racecourse and this runner have been good before. She really loves the conditions that this track offers. Consistent when racing on good ground, expect another solid effort.

Meisho: Meisho is expected to be competitive, should be a good bet. Runner-up in the previous race, displaying strong potential. Meisho raced at Caulfield Heath last start, covering 1000m and finishing 2nd.

Bedourie: Bedourie might not be the favourite, but it could be a game-changer in exotics. Bedourie is in its third start, continuing to find its stride and show potential.

2nd: 6, 1, 5, 8

Tempranillo: Tempranillo is a key player in my exotic bets. Tempranillo had a promising start in her first race, now looking to build on that performance in the second. Last start, Tempranillo finished in the placings over 1400m at Randwick-Kensington on 13/03/2025.

Sisu Spirit: For those punting on Saturday, Sisu Spirit should be in consideration. Sisu Spirit is making progress in its third race, showing signs of growth and development. Sisu Spirit stepped out at Warwick Farm on 23/10/2024, finishing 7th over 1300m. Track record isn’t inspiring, but anything can happen at Newcastle on Saturday.

Ivy Legend: An overlooked contender, Ivy Legend could be key to exotic success. In its third-ever start, Ivy Legend is gaining more experience and improving with each race. Last time out, Ivy Legend competed over 1400m, placing 2nd at Kembla Grange.

Heavenly Kiss: Watch out for Heavenly Kiss - a great choice for exotics at Newcastle. Heavenly Kiss ran at Kembla Grange on 22/03/2025, finishing 4th in a 1400m event. Still looking for its first win at the Newcastle track.

Meisho: Take note of Meisho this Saturday. Strong performance last start, finishing a close second. Meisho raced recently, placing 2nd in a 1000m event at Caulfield Heath.

Saluted: I think Saluted is a great choice for a sneaky exotic play this Saturday. Saluted is making its second career appearance, looking to sharpen up from race one. On 10/04/2025, Saluted lined up at Pakenham, finishing 1st over 1100m.

Oakley Miss: Oakley Miss punters looking at exotic bets should have this one. Oakley Miss this is the first race start, a crucial moment for this young horse.

Petit Artiste: I expect Petit Artiste to play a role in exotic bets. Now in its third race, Petit Artiste is learning and improving with each outing. Petit Artiste competed at Sandown-Hillside over 1000m, finishing 3rd.
