Ended

We have expert betting tips for racing at Warrnambool 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. (13:30) Rafferty's Tavern Maiden (1700m)

#1 - Chercover's Award @ $71.00

BET NOW

Chercover’s Award didn’t fire on debut, but she showed much better pace when running fourth at Casterton last time out.

The four-year-old son of Shamus Award gets the services of John Allen in the saddle, and he’s the man you want in a close finish.

He’ll appreciate the rise in distance to 1700m, and it’s not a strong maiden field.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (14:00) Western District Electrical Maiden (1200m)

#3 - Grifter @ $3.00

BET NOW

Grifter was spelled following a debut third placing at Pakenham, and he could return with a win.

The Ciaron Maher-trained gelding by Trapeze Artist is bred to show early speed, and his race experience should make a difference in this race.

Include him in horse racing bets at the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (14:30) Streamline Foods Maiden (1200m)

#8 - Star Rotation @ $5.00

BET NOW

Looking to improve on a last-start third placing is Star Rotation, who handled conditions at Warrnambool well.

The four-year-old son of Zoustar was only two lengths behind the winner as an $11 chance, and we’re not surprised by the shorter odds here.

He’s in good hands with Maher, and he should win a race soon.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (15:00) Mark Kircher Food Services Maiden (1400m)

#8 - Just My Lot @ $2.80

BET NOW

Just My Lot shouldn’t take much longer to exit maidens after posting her fourth placing from 10 attempts.

The Tom Dabernig-trained mare finished fourth at Hamilton before improving to run second at Warrnambool last start, which was a good track debut.

Linda Meech riding is a plus, so includer her in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:30) Lovatsville BM62 (1400m)

#7 - Justibella @ $10.00

BET NOW

Justibella broke maidens at Ballarat Synthetic last time out, and she’s capable of handling the grass surfaces.

The four-year-old mare by Justify owns a win and four placings from nine starts overall, and she has a placing at Warrnambool on her record.

Barrier four is ideal, so she’ll get every chance in the run.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (16:00) JRI Bricklaying BM62 (1200m)

#6 - Empress Rossa @ $3.70

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Empress Rossa, who was too good for the opposition at Warrnambool last time out.

The Symon Wilde-trained mare has yet to finish worse than second in three starts, including two second placings at Warrnambool on debut and Hamilton two back.

3kg comes off her back, which is enough to take her close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (16:30) Sungold Milk BM62 (2350m)

#13 - Three Reel Roses @ $18.00

BET NOW

Three Reel Roses isn’t the easiest runner to follow, but she is a talented type on her day, and we’re happy to take another chance on her.

She won well two back at Moe in tough conditions before running fifth at Murtoa last start, which wasn’t a bad performance.

Look for her to settle back and come with a solid late run at odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (17:00) The Midfield Group BM62 (1700m)

#3 - Placentia Bay @ $6.50

BET NOW

Boasting a consistent record is Placentia Bay, who owns a win and five placings from eight starts.

The six-year-old son of Churchill finished second at Bendigo two back before running fourth at Sale, and those have come against tough fields.

He should find this easier, and the inside draw is ideal.

Stake: 1.5 Units
