Best Exotic Bets of the Day | 17/04/25

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.

1st: 6, 8, 9, 10

2nd: 6, 8, 9, 10

Baywatch: Those betting on exotics should not overlook Baywatch. This is the first start, and all eyes will be on this debut performance.

Montjuic Magic: Montjuic Magic is in my exotic bets for Thursday, a good value bet I think. Montjuic Magic is making progress in its third race, showing signs of growth and development. Last start performance, Montjuic Magic came 3rd over 1000m at Ballarat.

Sudden Change: Sudden Change is a key player in my exotic bets. Finished outside the top four last start, showing potential for improvement. Last start, Sudden Change finished in the placings over 1300m at Cranbourne on 04/04/2025.

Youwroteuponit: If you’re looking for value, include Youwroteuponit. Youwroteuponit steps up to the plate for its first race on Thursday, with trainers optimistic about the potential.

1st: 5, 2, 1, 4

2nd: 5, 2, 1, 4

Howdy: For those punting on Thursday, Howdy should be in consideration. An impressive last-start victory signals this runner is in top form. On 04/04/2025, Howdy lined up at Cranbourne, finishing 1st over 1400m. Has won at this trip before, can do it again I think. Still searching for that first win at Pakenham, but it’s certainly not out of the question.

Legend Of Dubai: Legend Of Dubai is expected to be competitive, should be a good bet. Struggled to land in the top four last race, yet displayed moments of promise. Legend Of Dubai raced recently, placing 8th in a 1600m event at Hamilton.

Outta Compton: Outta Compton has each-way claims and should be considered in exotics. Battled hard for third last time out, staying in the mix. Outta Compton competed at Murray Bridge Gh over 1400m, finishing 3rd. No wins at Pakenham yet, but this could be the day Outta Compton turns things around.

Dakarai: Dakarai is in the mix for exotics. Missed out on the top four but could be set for an improved showing soon.

2nd: 2, 4, 5, 6

Runranirun: Take note of Runranirun this Thursday. Strong placing last start, showing consistency and determination. On 01/04/2025, Runranirun lined up at Newcastle, finishing 2nd over 900m.

Brial Rose: Brial Rose brings great value to exotics, a must-have in combinations. Finished outside the top four, but had some encouraging moments in the race. Last outing, Brial Rose took on a 1000m race at Wagga and finished 5th. Track record isn’t inspiring, but anything can happen at Albury on Thursday.

One Hard Lady: Watch out for One Hard Lady - a great choice for exotics at Albury. The horse is in its third start, improving and ready to take on more competitive challenges. One Hard Lady competed at Gundagai over 1000m, finishing 1st. Unbeaten at this trip, placing in 100% of 2 starts, with 2 wins. Perfect record at the Albury track, expect another bold run. With a proven record under these good track conditions, it’s well-placed to fire again.

Cassimir: Cassimir is a strong candidate for exacta bets. Finished outside the top four last start, showing potential for improvement. Last start, Cassimir finished in the placings over 1000m at Gundagai on 06/04/2025. Winless at Albury - needs to lift to turn that around, this could be his race to do it.
