Monday will see plenty of quality thoroughbred racing across the country with our focus being on the meeting at Donald in Victoria. Take a look at our horse racing tips and best bets for Monday 1st February, 2021.
Donald – Race 3 2:30PM AEST
No. 1 Brazen Bully – Bet Now: $2.40
Brazen Bully is deserving of his status as a dominant favourite.
He has raced well without winning during his racing career to date and this is the weakest race that he has contested.
Barrier four is ideal and Lachlan Neindorf in the saddle is a positive.
Donald – Race 6 4:00PM AEST
BEST BET: No. 7 Marchena – Bet Now: $4.60
It is no surprise that Marchena has been well-backed in early betting.
She was finally able to break through for a maiden race win at Camperdown last start and it would not surprise if she was able to go on with the job.
The Deep Field filly has speed to burn and Harry Coffey will settle her right on the speed in the early stages.
Donald – Race 7 4:30PM AEST
EACH WAY: No. 9 Lightning Rider – Bet Now: $21.00
It has been a long time between wins for Lightning Rider, but he still represents genuine value at his current quote of $26.
He found the line nicely last start at Benalla after missing the start and the form coming out of that race has been strong.
I am confident that he will produce a better performance than his current odds suggest.
Donald – Race 8 5:00PM AEST
No. 9 Isola Comacina – Bet Now: $3.80
This might be the right race for Isola Comacina.
Her two race starts this campaign have been strong and she has won third-up in the past.
There isn’t a huge amount of speed in this contest and she should get the run of the race with John Allen in the saddle.
