Friday will see plenty of quality thoroughbred racing across the country with our focus being on the meeting at Rockhampton in Queensland. Take a look at our horse racing tips and best bets for Friday 17th July, 2020.

Rockhampton – Race 2 12:42PM AEST

No. 1 Beach Road – Bet Now: $SP.oo0

Beach Road made a winning start to his career with an impressive win on debut at Rockhampton.

He ran a pretty slick time in the process and a repeat of that effort would see him winning a race of this quality.

Rockhampton – Race 6 3:12PM AEST

No. 7 Valadyium – Bet Now: $7.00

Valadyium has made the trip north for this Magic Millions Capricornia after doing all of her racing on the Sunshine Coast and in Brisbane.

She was beaten 6.7 lengths behind Prince Fawaz at Group 1 level as a two year old and has since won two races.

Her return from a spell was full of merit when fifth on the Sunshine Coast and she represents good value in this race.

Rockhampton – Race 8 4:27PM AEST

No. 3 Bargannon – Bet Now: $3.80

The Rockhampton Cup is always a very even betting race with formlines coming from all over the state.

Bargannon from the David Vandyke stable looks well placed at his second run this prep from barrier three.

His run at Listed level over 1350m at Doomben first up was promising and he will only be better with that run under his belt and stepping up in distance.

Rockhampton – Race 9 5:02PM AEST

BEST BET: No. 1 Inquiry – Bet Now: $3.80

Inquiry showed his class by leaving Rockhampton and heading south during the Winter where he had a fair amount of success.

His trip culminated in a win at Listed level over the 1350m last start and he has a big class edge on a lot of these runners.

He has managed 10 wins from just 23 career race starts and although he is being asked to carry the big weight from a wide barrier, he is more than capable of winning a race of this quality.
