Free Horse Racing Tips & Best Bets for Benalla 21/1/2024

Keep a close eye on Ashau Valley in the third race. This gelding has been knocking on the door with a recent near-miss at Wangaratta, and with a favorable barrier draw today, he’s ripe for a breakthrough. The gelding’s tenacity, coupled with the advantageous barrier, positions him as a strong pick for today’s race. It’s the kind of race setup that could see him convert those near-misses into a solid win.

In the fourth race, I’m leaning towards Hampton Palace. Trained by the well-respected Danny O’Brien and with Harry Coffey in the saddle, this gelding has been prepared to excel. There’s a sense of an impending strong performance, and given O’Brien’s knack for getting the best out of his charges, Hampton Palace could be one to watch today.

The sixth race sees Nijmegen as a standout. This Nathan Hobson-trained gelding, with Robert Beattie as the jockey, has shown enough in recent outings to suggest a top performance is on the cards. In the world of racing, it’s often about the right combination of trainer and jockey, and this pairing has what it takes to make Nijmegen a top contender.

Finally, in race seven, Deploy And Destroy is my pick. Under the guidance of Andrew Dale and piloted by Cory Parish, this gelding has shown glimpses of potential in previous races. There’s something about the way Dale’s horses peak at the right time, and with Parish’s experienced hands guiding him, Deploy And Destroy could very well dominate the field today.
