Horse Racing Tips: VIC Wednesday 22nd January 2025
Key Comments On pace runners usually suited here with the short straight. The best bet will be hard to beat from the pole position and will likely be a positive prospect with punters. Best Bet Written Bligh (Mornington Race 3 No. 4) Looks very close to a win and has a favourable set up today with the pole position and taking weight off thanks to the claim. Only has to hold its form to be winning this and the odds appeal. Check

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. On pace runners are typically suited here. The best bet has halved in price since markets have opened and has large claims. Best Bet Maximum Power (Yarra Valley Race 7 No. 1) Well placed dropping in grade and was far from disgraced last time out in a similar field to this. Drawn well, slashed in early betting and ticks all the boxes for this race. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. Parr rides the best and each way bets which include a debutant and a runner at handy odds. Best Bet Soo Gold (Newcastle Race 6 No. 6) Support has been large this debutant since markets opened and trials have been rock solid. Drawn wide but gets Parr to ride on debut and this race suits.
