Best Exotic Bets of the Day | 14/11/24

Exotic Bets of the Day
Exacta - Ballarat - R6
1st: 5, 3, 2, 4
2nd: 5, 3, 2, 4
Furosshi: Furosshi showed form on October 24 at Ballarat, placing 2nd out of 10 in a BM64 on a good track, just 0.2 lengths behind She Daresthe Devil (56.5kg) with 58.5kg at $6.50. After that race, I think Furosshi can potentially improve and possibly get the win this time.
Takeko: Last start, Takeko was 8th of 9 at Mornington on June 10 over 1200m on a soft track, 7.1 lengths behind Bossy Nic (59.5kg) with 57.5kg at $20.00. But it should improve here.
Rose Of England: The last run for this horse was a good one, it had a nice run and beat the field. This horse just knows how to win. With Jamie Mott on board, this horse should get another favourable run and could get the win again.
Allouvre: In its last race at Mortlake on November 2, it came out on top with a winning margin of 3.8 lengths. It was carrying 57.5kg and held off Big Beam (59.5kg), which was pretty good to watch at $3.40 odds. So, it's looking in good touch for this race.
Exacta - Ballarat - R8
1st: 6, 7, 2, 8
2nd: 6, 7, 2, 8
El James: Last start, beat Morthan Efficient (57kg) at Warrnambool over 1700m at the starting price of $1.80. That was a good win and I like El James on Thursday too, especially with Jordan Childs on board from barrier 6.
Mornington Pier: It hit the track on October 25 and Mornington Pier put in a solid effort, finishing 7th out of 10. Thursday's race sees some good odds to have a crack, I think. With John Allen on board, that gives me confidence too.
Rick's Cafe: On October 25 at Moonee Valley in a BM70 over 2040m, Rick's Cafe started slow and finished 6th out of 12, while carrying 59.5kg at $17.00 odds. However, I think this race is more suitable and it should be able to put in a better showing.
Wise Legend: It's shown it has the ability to be a serious contender and with a bit more luck and a better trip, it’s got a real shot at taking this one.
Exacta - Bunbury - R7
1st: 5, 1, 2, 8
2nd: 5, 1, 2, 8
Lethal Weapon: In its last race on October 27 at Northam, he surged to the front, winning by 2.8 lengths. He carried 56kg and managed to beat Lien Hyphen (56kg), which was quite impressive, especially at $6.00 odds. So, it's definitely in top form right now.
Rocking Society: Ready to win now. Finished second last start with Brayden Gaerth on board at Belmont Park.
Jiddo: He has performed well on this track with 3 placings in 4 starts. Willy Pike on board for the first time should be a good thing.
Diamond Tipped: In its last run, Diamond Tipped placed 4th at Belmont Park on October 30 over 1300m, just 2.1 lengths behind Golden Dore (58.5kg). I think it can run well here too.
