Kick off your week with our horse racing betting tips for this Monday, January 9th from Benalla and Wagga, including best bets, best value and picks for every race!
BENALLA RACING TIPS
Race 1 - The Lunch
Race 2 - Aristocratic
Race 3 - American Beauty
Race 4 - Pravro / Correggio EW
Race 5 - Go de Orpen
Race 6 - Turfonic
Race 7 - Ben Bader
Race 8 - Bel Burgess / Marin County EW
Best Bet: Race 6 - Turfonic
A few decent hopes in this race but Turfonic has been running in better races than this. I was keen on him last start at Sandown but he disappointed, however the jockey stated he thought he needed a softer track, which he will definitely get here. Stable flying and this horse won won by over 3 lengths at this track three starts ago.
Best Value: Race 4 - Correggio
His past few starts have been forgettable but he gets a big drop in grade here and more importantly, a wet track. Four starts ago he struck a Soft track and won with 61kg on his back so with 60kg after the claim here he could be a sneaky chance at odds.
WAGGA RACING TIPS
Race 1 - Brainstorm / First Rose EW
Race 2 - Prying
Race 3 - Poet's Dash / Escarpment EW
Race 4 - Hoffski
Race 5 - Financial Miss
Race 6 - Addchan
Race 7 - Ski Angel EW
Race 8 - Sasayuri
Best Bet: Race 5 - Financial Miss
Has finished in the placings at 5 of his last 6 starts and gets absolutely every hope here from the inside barrier. Has won his only start over track and distance, main danger looks to be Secrets Kept.
Best Value: Race 1 - First Rose
Wasn't far away in two starts last prep which were both on Heavy ground. Resumes today and if she improves on the firm track she could give this a shake. Every chance from barrier 2.
