Ended

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

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

Race 1. (13:00) Cub Maiden (1414m)

#5 - Keen Observer @ $2.60

BET NOW

Keen Observer is nearing a win after back-to-back second placings, and the colt should be ready to fire on Thursday.

The three-year-old son of Ole Kirk placed at Moe on debut before finishing second at Geelong, both coming in heavy conditions.

The inside draw with Blake Shinn riding only helps his chances to win.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (13:30) GMCU Maiden (1000m)

#5 - Angelotti @ $4.40

BET NOW

Angelotti hasn’t been too far away from the prize despite owning only one placing from 11 starts, so we’re happy to stick with her.

The four-year-old mare by Yes Yes Yes ran fifth at Pakenham Synthetic last time out, and she won’t mind running in heavy conditions.

Her best form comes in the wet, so include her at each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (14:00) W B Hunters Maiden (1200m)

#12 - Purgatorio @ $3.40

BET NOW

Purgatorio was spelled following a third placing on debut at Echuca, and he could return with a big performance.

The three-year-old colt by Hellbent opened at $4.20 before firming into $3.40, which is a solid betting move, and it’s one worth noting.

Ethan Brown rides, which adds to our confidence.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (14:30) Bet365 Bet Boost Maiden (2021m)

#6 - Knights Emperor @ $5.50

BET NOW

Knights Emperor only battled at Geelong in tough conditions last start, but we’re giving him another chance.

The four-year-old son of De Gaulle owns two placings from five starts, and if he gets a soft lead, he could kick clear at the top of the straight.

The each-way odds are good enough to include as a value pick.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:00) Seymour Sub Branch RSL BM62 (2021m)

#3 - Ahab @ $7.00

BET NOW

Ahab has been all around the mark throughout the winter, and he could add another win or placing to his record.

The six-year-old has two wins and three placings from his last five starts, which is an excellent record, and he doesn’t mind a wet track.

Zac Moore takes 3kg off his back, which should be enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:30) Fowles Wines BM66 (1200m)

#8 - Ole Royale @ $7.50

BET NOW

Ole Royale ended last campaign with a win at Ballarat, and he could get things started this season with a victory.

The four-year-old son of Ole Kirk is in good hands with Team Hawkes, and getting Blake Shinn riding is a good betting guide.

He is worth including in horse racing picks at the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:00) Janelle Puppa Real Estate Handicap (1414m)

#3 - Thinking Sensation @ $11.00

BET NOW

Form is with Thinking Sensation, who won at Coleraine before placing at Ballarat Synthetic last time out.

The five-year-old son of So You Think owns two wins and six placings overall, and his best form has come on soft tracks, so handling heavy won’t be an issue.

Declan Bates is a strong rider, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:30) Beer Auto Group BM62 (1600m)

#4 - Talkin' Stern @ $9.00

BET NOW

Talkin’ Stern took five runs to break maidens, but he looks good enough to rise through the grades now.

The four-year-old son of Astern won by a nose in heavy conditions, and although he didn’t fully handle the track, he did enough to win.

It’s a solid field, but he should be right in the mix.

Stake: 1 Unit
