Best Exotic Bets of the Day | 06/03/25

Want to place exotic bets? Onlyracing Australia has you sorted this Thursday! I've lined up 3 exotic tips for some of the best races at Pakenham and Grafton.

1st: 3, 4, 6, 9

2nd: 3, 4, 6, 9

Thunder Award: I think Thunder Award is a great choice for a sneaky exotic play this Thursday. Strong placing last start, showing consistency and determination. 1200m distance suits - right in the mix. Knows the Pakenham track well and has won here before.

Attain: Attain is worth watching this Thursday. Finished outside the top four, but had some encouraging moments in the race. Attain ran at Sandown-Lakeside on 29/01/2025, finishing 5th in a 1400m event. Jockey Jaylah Kennedy was aboard, carrying 56.5kg. Track was rated good. Solid record at this track, winning 1 time from 5 runs.

Howdy: Exactas should feature Howdy this Thursday. Last result was outside the top four, but there’s an opportunity for improvement with more race experience. Howdy stepped out at Pakenham, finishing 9th over 1400m. Raced on a heavy surface, carrying 59kg under Ben Allen. Still searching for that first win at Pakenham, but it’s certainly not out of the question.

Red Line Fever: A solid exotic bet should include Red Line Fever, given the form on display. Now in its third race, Red Line Fever is learning and improving with each outing. Red Line Fever lined up at Colac, finishing 1st over 1100m. Backed at $2.10, jumped from barrier 1, and carried 56kg under Jack Hill. Usually reliable on good tracks and should be in the mix again.

Jewels Statement: Solid strike rate at this trip (1000m), should be competitive. Handles the distance well, boasting 1 win from 2 runs.

Amaya's Secret: A dominant display in the last race makes this runner hard to ignore. Last start, Amaya's Secret finished in the placings over 1000m at Grafton on 01/10/2024. Carried 54.5kg under Mollie Fitzgerald, started at $1.65. Track rated heavy. At this track, the record is positive. Familiarity with the Grafton track should give her an advantage.

Noble Missile: Last race saw a strong third-place performance, staying competitive throughout. Last time out, Noble Missile competed over 1015m, placing 3rd at Grafton. Jumped from barrier 6, carried 60.5kg, and starting price of $5.50 odds. Competitive at this track, placing in 50% of 18 starts, with 2 wins.

Cool Fizz: Second-place finish last time out suggests this runner is in peak form. Last start performance, Cool Fizz placed 2nd over 1015m at Grafton. Carried 57.5kg, guided by Siena Grima, and started at $5.50.

2nd: 8, 13, 6, 11

Bjorn Ironside: Exactas should feature Bjorn Ironside this Thursday. Showed plenty of heart to finish third last run, running on well late. Bjorn Ironside competed at Port Macquarie over 1200m, finishing 3rd. Jumped from barrier 3, carried 57.5kg, and was ridden by Luke Rolls.

The Wolf: Struggled to land in the top four last race, yet displayed moments of promise. Has had some good results at Grafton, so he has the ability to perform well again. Handles this track well, boasting 1 win from 2 runs.

Air Marshal: Air Marshal could add real value to exotic bets this Thursday. Ran outside the top four last time but wasn’t disgraced in the effort. Last outing, Air Marshal took on a 1200m race at Ipswich and finished 7th. Carried 56kg, started at $20.00, and handled a soft surface. Has never lost at Grafton, a major plus.

Mio Sorrento: Mio Sorrento is expected to be competitive, should be a good bet. Last start, Mio Sorrento finished in the placings over 1200m at Gold Coast on 08/02/2025. Carried 57.5kg under Heidi Gillie, started at $14.00. Track rated good.
