The races continue on Thursday and Onlyracing is here to give you some free Australian horse racing tips to enjoy. In this one, I'm discussing 3 races and 4 runners per race that I think will finish in the top two.
Best Exotic Bets of the Day | 09/01/25

Exotic Bets of the Day
Exacta - Sale - R5
1st: 2, 1, 4, 3
2nd: 2, 1, 4, 3
Regina D'italia: Shinny was on board last run and won over 1000m at Terang. So I think that's a good form guide for Thursday's race and should be tough to beat down the straight.
Lunar Module: Ready to win now. Finished second last start with Beau Mertens on board at Seymour.
Tornado's Sister: On December 28 at Cranbourne in a Cls 1 over 1000m, Tornado's Sister started slow and finished 5th out of 6, while carrying 58kg at $3.10 odds. However, I think this race is more suitable and it should be able to put in a better showing.
Nouveau: Last start, beat Sophast (59.5kg) at Yarra Glen over 1000m at the starting price of $2.70. That was a good win and I like Nouveau on Thursday too, especially with Daniel Moor on board from barrier 3.
Exacta - Sale - R7
1st: 1, 4, 3, 6
2nd: 1, 4, 3, 6
Porter: Last start, finished 3rd of 11 at Werribee in a BM64 over 1400m, just 2.8 lengths behind Inevitable Award (59kg) carrying 60kg at $4.40.
Tournelle: Last start, Tournelle was 5th of 11 at G B - Newcastle on February 4 over 1609m on a synthetic track, 4.0 lengths behind Las Ramblas (56kg) with 56kg at $2.88. But it should improve here.
Hollywood Ace: Ready to hit peak form now. Came 2nd last start at Seymour with Beau Mertens in the saddle.
Powerful Torque: Coming off a win at this track and could make it back to back wins. Likes this distance and good track conditions.
Exacta - Wagga - R6
1st: 1, 3, 15, 7
2nd: 1, 3, 15, 7
Shine Like It Does: In its recent race at Goulburn, Shine Like It Does 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. Mathew Cahill is in good form and should be able to get a good run.
Over To Win: Over To Win showed form on December 27 at Canberra , placing 2nd out of 10 in a Mdn on a good track, just 2.3 lengths behind Maracaibo Sun (57.5kg) with 55.5kg at $7.50. After that race, I think Over To Win can potentially improve and possibly get the win this time.
Hot Toddy: Last run, it finished 3rd at Benalla over 1106m. Should be right in the thick of things.
Launch Mode: Last time out, it finished 3rd out of 12 in the Mdn at Wagga Riverside on December 24. That race was over 1200m on a good track and it came in 1.2 lengths behind Miss Fennell (57kg). Definitely among the winning chances.
