Best Exotic Bets of the Day 23/11/24

Exacta - Cranbourne - R5

1st: 10, 7, 14, 1

2nd: 10, 7, 14, 1

Trapeze Warrior: Last race, Trapeze Warrior ran a place (2nd) at Flemington over 1100m with Harry Coffey on board, just finishing behind the winner (Pisanello (58kg)). Should get a lot of confidence from that run and should be a good bet again.

Harry Got Styles: Loves running 1000m with 3 in 5 starts. Also likes these track conditions, he has a 2-2-0 record in 5 career starts on good tracks.

Sisterhood: Back from about 6 months off and usually runs well fresh. She has won before first-up and loves good track conditions.

Charmed Run: Nice record at the track with a few wins and hasn’t finished outside the top 2 at Cranbourne before. She is coming off some nice form with a win at the Valley last start and previously second at Caulfield.

Exacta - Cranbourne - R8

1st: 2, 6, 12, 1

2nd: 2, 6, 12, 1

Baraqiel: Usually eats up the 1200m distance, having won 5 times in 7 career starts. So he loves this trip and Ben Allen also likes this runner. He has raced him every time and has 6 wins already (9 starts).

Rey Magnerio: With Jye McNeil on board last start, won at Flemington (1200m). So hopefully that form continues into Saturday's race. On Saturday, Jye Mcneil is in the saddle and knows how to win. Get on board.

Nadal: Just finished behind the places in its last start, finishing 4th out of 13 on November 9. So I think it can improve after that run and should be fitter here.

Arkansaw Kid: Last start, Arkansaw Kid was 10th of 18 at Randwick on October 19 over 1200m on a soft track, 5.5 lengths behind Overpass (58.5kg) with 58.5kg at $7.00. But it should improve here.

Exacta - Kembla Grange - R9

1st: 7, 1, 10, 3

2nd: 7, 1, 10, 3

Iowna Merc: Last time out, it finished 3rd out of 9 in the Open at Rosehill on July 20. That race was over 1100m on a soft track and it came in 3.0 lengths behind Contemporary (59kg). Definitely among the winning chances.

Dragonstone: Last run, took down Jedibeel (55.5kg) over 1100m at Randwick (starting price: $9.00). He has placed in 70% of his career so should be a safe bet in this exacta.

Fleetwood: I'm a big fan of Fleetwood in Race 9 at Kembla Grange on Saturday. He loves running fresh with a few wins first-up. Also, has won at this distance before and McEvoy is back on board after winning their last together.

Hedged: Very reliable runner and comes off a good prep before a spell. He should be fine running first-up as he has won before in this situation.
