Best Exotic Tips of the Day | May 30

Exotic Tips of the Day
Exacta - Pakenham - R4
1st: 2, 7, 4, 9
2nd: 2, 7, 4, 9
Apparatus: Hard to fault his form lately. Recently finished 2nd of 7 at this track in a 0-64 over 1200m, just 0.5 lengths behind Street Delight carrying 59.5kg at $2.60. Solid effort last time - right in the mix on Thursday.
Miss Roumbini: Coming back after a six-month break. Last campaign, she finished 4th at Caulfield over 1400m on a soft track. On debut, she was 3rd in at Ballarat over 1200m.
Mistavain: Second-up and looking good. First-up after eight months, she was the favourite and won by 1.3 lengths at Werribee in a 3YO Mdn-Sw over 1108m on soft going.
Superior Zara: Also second-up. First-up after five months, she tracked the speed and won by a nose at Benalla in a 3YO F Mdn-Sw over 1106m, beating Grassburn with 57kg at $2.30.
Exacta - Pakenham - R8
1st: 10, 5, 4, 9
2nd: 10, 5, 4, 9
Golden Estrella: Second-up and looking strong. First-up after nine months, she finished 2nd in a small field at Cranbourne in a Cl1 over 1200m on a slow track. She's improving and has solid winning prospects.
Hola Amigos: Also second-up. First-up after five months, she led for most of the race but got edged out late, finishing 3rd of 7 at this track in a 0-64 over 1200m on a slow track. She's an improver with winning chances.
Thunder Award: Second run back and ready to improve. First-up after five months, she ran on strongly from last to finish 4th of 9 at Geelong in a BM64 over 1125m on a wet track. Expecting improvement.
Farisha: Lightly raced but showing promise. Debuted with a 3rd place finish at Cranbourne in a Mdn-Sw over 1000m on a slow track.
Exacta - Hawkesbury - R7
1st: 9, 10, 3, 4
2nd: 9, 10, 3, 4
Be Real: Form hard to fault. At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 at Warwick Farm on May 22 over 1600m. The run before that came from midfield and won by 2.75 len at Newcastle over 1600m.
Worth Avenue: Third-up and won third-up in the past. Last start 5th of 13 at Scone on May 17 over 1600m, on a slow track. Genuine contender under these conditions.
Gulf Of Mexico: Second-up today. Last start 6th of 10 at Randwick Kensington Bm64 on May 15 over 1800m, on rain affected going. Fitter and worth including.
Zerkhan: Most recently struggled in the run home; 6th of 10 at Randwick Kensington Bm64 on May 15 over 1800m, on rain affected going. Before that 3rd in a small field at Wyong on a heavy track.
Stats and Insights
- Flexi Betting lets you bet a bit of the full dividend, so you can stick to your budget by taking a smaller cut of the total win.
- With the Exacta, your payout depends on which of the Aussie TABs is in your area.
- The Exacta usually pays out more than the Quinella since it's trickier to pick the horses in the right order.
- Exacta's are a good bet if you're really confident in a horse to win, especially if it's a short-priced favourite.
