Friday will see plenty of quality thoroughbred racing across the country with our focus being on the meeting at Cairns in Queensland. Take a look at our horse racing tips and best bets for Friday 28th August, 2020.
Cairns – Race 4 1:41PM AEST
No. 2 Set To Sizzle – Bet Now: $3.00
Set To Sizzle has been racing well without winning this campaign and he has an excellent chance to return to winning form this afternoon.
On his best form he does have a clear class edge over the rest of this field and he should have every possible chance in the run.
Cairns – Race 6 2:51PM AEST
No. 6 Deigo Bay – Bet Now: $3.00
Deigo Bay has been racing very consistently this campaign and he finds himself in another winnable contest this afternoon.
There was plenty to like about the way that he found the line last start and a repeat of that effort would make him very tough to beat.
Cairns – Race 8 4:08PM AEST
BEST BET: No. 1 The Harrovian – Bet Now: $1.75
The Harrovian is deserving of his status as a short-priced favourite in the Cairns Newmarket.
There is no doubt that he is the best sprinter in North Queensland and he comes into this contest on the back of six straight wins.
He has scored seven wins from as many starts at Cairns and it is tough to see him getting beaten.
Cairns – Race 9 4:48PM AEST
No. 5 North Afrika – Bet Now: $SP.00
North Afrika is the progressive horse in the Cairns Cup field and he has an excellent chance to score the biggest win of his racing career to date.
He could hardly have been more dominant last start and the best thing about him is that he makes his own luck right on the speed.
