It's a massive day of horse racing on Thursday in Australia and I'm here to try and nail a multi across race meetings at Pakenham and Hawkesbury. Watch out for rain on Thursday at Pakenham as there's a 100% chance of rain, around 4 to 10mm. The track is already a soft 7 so this could turn into a heavy track in the afternoon. The first race starts at 5:15pm (AEDT) and the meeting ends at 8:45pm. Racing starts early at Hawkesbury, from 11:45am until 4:20pm. The track conditions are pretty good at this stage with a soft 5 and it's predicted to be 23 degrees. Let's get into the multi!
Best Multibet Tips of the Day | May 30

Daily Multibet Tips
#1 - Bancory Bay - PLC Pakenham R3
Bancory Bay is a well-bred gelding who showed promise on debut. He tried hard but was outgunned, finishing 2nd of 8 at Ballarat in a 2YO Mdn-Sw over 1400m, 5 lengths behind Signor Bill with 58kg at $8. I think that he's learned from that race and is a strong each-way chance on Thursday. He doesn’t need to improve much to break his maiden.
#5 - Absolute Deel - PLC Pakenham R7
Absolute Deel kicked off the season with a win at Sale and followed up with a solid run. He’s third-up on Thursday and pace will be crucial. First-up, he settled back and won by 0.8 lengths at Sale Mdn-Sw over 1411m, beating Explicable with 59.5kg at $11. Last start, he finished 2nd of 8 at this track in a Cl1 over 1600m on a slow track, 1.75 lengths behind Nation's Call with 59kg at $8.50. I expect him to finish strong and should offer good value odds to place in Thursday's multi.
#4 - Junebug - PLC Hawkesbury R5
Junebug quickened smartly to win at Muswellbrook first-up at short odds. She's fitter now and ready for a strong second-up performance. First-up, she came from midfield to win by 1.3 lengths in a Mdn-Sw over 1280m in the wet, defeating Hoo Haa with 57kg at $1.40. Last second-up effort saw her finish 5th of 7 at Vichy in a 3YO Cond over 2000m, 8 lengths behind Queen Of Fairies with 53.5kg at $7.30. She’s an improver with winning prospects on Thursday.
#1 - Bancory Bay - PLC Pakenham R3 | $1.65 |
#5 - Absolute Deel - PLC Pakenham R7 | $1.95 |
#4 - Junebug - PLC Hawkesbury R5 | $1.35 |
