Thursday will see plenty of quality thoroughbred racing across the country with our focus being on the meetings at Sale and Newcastle. Take a look at our horse racing tips and best bets for Thursday 13th August, 2020.
Sale – Race 3 2:00PM AEST
No. 9 Silk Jacket – Bet Now: $SP.00
Silk Jacket may never have a better chance to record a maiden race win.
She returned to the races with a credible performance at Murtoa and she should take a good effort from that effort.
This really isn’t the strongest race and she will have every possible opportunity to get the job done.
Sale – Race 6 3:30PM AEST
BEST BET: No. 3 Unfair Dismissal – Bet Now: $2.90
Unfair Dismissal doesn’t win out of turn, but he finds himself in a winnable contest at Sale this afternoon.
He finished third behind Firstclass Dreamer at Ladbrokes Park Sandown last start and this race is a genuine drop in quality.
The All Too Hard gelding is arguably racing in career best form and there is no doubt that he has been well-backed in early betting.
Newcastle – Race 5 3:05PM AEST
No. 2 Morethannumberone – Bet Now: $8.00
Morethannumberone is a much better horse than his current record suggests and he is well and truly over the odds at the current quote of $12.
The More Than Ready entire has generally raced in stronger company than this and his barrier trial ahead of his return to the races was excellent.
I would be locking in the $12 as early as possible as I am confident that he will be well-backed.
Newcastle – Race 7 4:15PM AEST
No. 4 Blazing Sunrise – Bet Now: $3.90
Blazing Sunrise has been racing well without winning and he has a great chance to return to winning form at Newcastle this afternoon.
He is ready to peak third-up after a couple of second place finishes and he has the benefit of James McDonald in the saddle.
This is his chance to return to winning form.
