Ended

We have expert betting tips for racing at Illawarra Grange on Thursday, which includes eight races at the quality meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the New South Wales meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (12:35) Radical Media Maiden (1200m)

#1 - Written Doll @ $1.90

BET NOW

Written Doll wasn’t far behind the winner when running second at Kembla Grange, and he won’t take long to win a race.

The three-year-old son of Written By should get every chance from barrier four, and Rachel King is riding well this season.

The odds are short, but he is worth including in horse racing multis.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:10) NSW Jockeys Association Maiden (1300m)

#11 - She Can Salsa @ $5.50

BET NOW

Improvement is expected from She Can Salsa, who ran third on debut, and she is better than what her form this preparation suggests.

The three-year-old filly by Per Incanto gets in with 55kg and King on her back, and there has been solid money come for her.

That’s a good sign, so include her at each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:45) Jockeys Celebration Day Maiden (1150m)

#8 - Appin Opal @ $8.50

BET NOW

Appin Opal represents value at $8.50, and her form recently has improved significantly.

The three-year-old daughter of Exceedance ran third at Warwick Farm two back before running fourth at Hawkesbury last start.

55kg on her back is enough to take her close against this field.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:20) Equimillion Maiden (1450m)

#11 - Divine Heights @ $4.80

BET NOW

David Payne lines up Divine Heights, who finished second on debut at Kembla Grange when running better than his odds suggested.

The two-year-old gets in with a light weight, which is enough to take him close against a moderate maiden field.

The each-way odds are worth including as a value bet.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:55) Fos Media C1 (1450m)

#1 - Agraffe Rocket @ $3.00

BET NOW

Kris Lees lines up Agraffe Rocket, who scored at Newcastle two starts back before running fourth at Canterbury in a tough race.

The three-year-old son of Graff looks like a type who can rise through the grades, and he’s good enough to carry the 60kg impost.

Soft conditions are ideal, so snap up the $3 odds.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:35) Pacific Plan Management C1 (1150m)

#11 - Kool Kade @ $31.00

BET NOW

Kool Kade is worth including in picks at massive odds, and despite his form not being the best recently, he could turn it around.

The three-year-old son of Frosted owns a win and a placing from 11 starts, and if his best form could return, the $31 odds will look silly.

55kg is ideal, and he’s worth an each-way bet.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:10) Lexy Get Well BM68 (1200m)

#4 - Heuristic @ $4.00

BET NOW

It’s an open field, so punters get value odds for Heuristic, who rattled off a quality second placing at Kembla Grange last start.

The five-year-old son of Street Boss owns two wins and eight placings from 23 starts, with most of his best form coming over the distance.

2kg comes off his back, which is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:45) Colourite Painting BM64 (1400m)

#4 - Fiftyfivechevy @ $3.70

BET NOW

Fiftyfivechevy could fire all pistons on Thursday, and he could get back to his winning ways.

The four-year-old son of Puissance de Lune is a three-time winner overall, and any betting support is a good sign.

Take the $3.70 odds before more money comes for him.

Stake: 1 Unit
