Best Exotic Bets of the Day | 20/02/25

Racing action in Australia continues on Thursday and Only Racing Australia is here to help you find some winning bets! We've got some cheeky exotic bets for you in this one from some of the best meetings of the day.

1st: 3, 10, 5, 2

2nd: 3, 10, 5, 2

Gronkowski: Gronkowski is in my exotic bets for Thursday, a good value bet I think. Second-place finish last time out suggests this runner is in peak form. Gronkowski ran at Flemington on 18/01/2025, finishing 2nd in a 1200m event. Goes well at this Pakenham track and has won half of its starts here.

Thames: Exactas should feature Thames this Thursday. Finished outside the top four last start, showing potential for improvement. Thames competed at Geelong over 1100m, finishing 9th. Jumped from barrier 10, carried 57kg, and was ridden by Craig Williams.

Mr Magnus: For those playing trifectas, Mr Magnus should be in consideration. Dominated the field last start for a well-deserved win. Last time out, Mr Magnus competed over 1100m, placing 1st at Pakenham. Jumped from barrier 1, carried 58.5kg, and starting price of $3.70 odds. Has tasted success on this Pakenham track.

American Liaison: American Liaison is a key player in my exotic bets. Secured a win last start. Still looking for its first win at the Pakenham track.

High Praise: High Praise is worth watching this Thursday. Last start, High Praise competed at Pakenham over 1200m, finishing 2nd. Jumped from barrier 12, carried 59kg, and was ridden by Damian Lane.

Nic's Choice: Multi-bet players should take note of Nic's Choice this Thursday. A close finish saw this runner take second place last start. Last start, Nic's Choice finished in the placings over 1400m at Pakenham on 13/02/2025.

Red Feathers: Red Feathers adds a nice level of risk and reward to exotic bets. A solid fourth-place finish in the previous race, keeping up with the pack. Red Feathers stepped out at Pakenham, finishing 4th over 1200m. Raced on a good surface, carrying 57kg.

Wal's Me Mate: You might regret leaving Wal's Me Mate out of your exotic bets this Thursday. Last race saw a determined third-place effort, staying in contention for the majority of the race. Last start performance, Wal's Me Mate placed 3rd over 1200m at Warwick Farm. Carried 57kg, guided by Tom Sherry, and started at $3.10.

Inspired Star: If you’re looking for a bit of a roughie in your exotic plays, Inspired Star is worth considering. With natural improvement expected from the debut, Inspired Star returns for another run. Inspired Star raced recently, placing 5th in a 1000m event at Scone.

Where's My Halo: If you’re looking for value in a trifecta, include Where's My Halo. Making a first appearance, expectations are high for her.

While She Can: While She Can has the credentials to be a factor. Making its debut, with anticipation surrounding the performance. Comes off a nice looking trial win.
