Welcome back to MyBettingAustralia, dear greyhound racing aficionados! Today, February 13th marks my exciting return after a month away, and I'm here to navigate you through another day of heart-pounding races! And though the options are more limited today, I've still identified a few selections that stand out, tailored to hopefully elevate your betting success!

Moreover, we will be delving deep into race analysis today. Expect some content in this article on my tips and tricks when it comes to greyhound betting. And as well as this, I plan to spotlight some of Australia's premier greyhound trainers and their impressive records over the past year or so!

I haven't stopped there; I've also meticulously reviewed a few different Aussie bookmakers, honing in on their greyhound racing offering. Don't miss my bookmaker recommendations at this guide's conclusion! But first, let's leap into today's races and uncover those standout competitors!

Note: Odds provided by PlayUp

Best Bet of the Day:

Greyhound: #5 Bundy Prize
Odds: $2.05
Race: Ipswich, Race 7 [9:55pm AEST]
Trainer: Shane Topping
Form: 751231

Why it's our pick: I've chosen #5 Bundy Prize as my 'best bet of the day' for a few different reasons. Firstly, her record at this venue is nothing short of impressive, showcasing her versatility and strength over various distances. She boasts a sizzling personal best of 30.55 here, a testament to her speed and agility. And while she may face some challenges early on, her track record demands respect, and I believe she has what it takes to overcome any initial hurdles.

Moreover, her recent performance solidifies my confidence in her. Winning by one length at this track over 431m, clocking in at 24.92 and outpacing Emerald Dragon in a Best 8 competition on February 9, Bundy Prize has clearly hit a winning stride. This victory isn't just a win; it's a statement of her current form and potential to continue her winning streak.

So, given these factors, along with her competitive odds of $2.05 to win, Bundy Prize stands out not just as a strong contender, but as my top pick for today. Her blend of proven track record, recent form, and the ability to excel in the face of competition make her the ideal choice for those looking to back a winner!

Next Best Bet of the Day:

Greyhound: #8 Loco Express
Odds: $2.15
Race: Gosford, Race 10 [10:22pm AEST]
Trainer: Jason Magri
Form: 444812

Why it's our pick: For my 'next best bet of the day,' I've set my sights on #8 Loco Express to win at odds of $2.15. Loco Express, despite being offered at deep Tomato Sauce odds in his past two appearances at Richmond, exhibits a Starting Price (SP) Profile that hints at potentially undervalued odds this time around. His talent is undeniable, with a record of winning 7 out of his 12 races, showcasing not just skill but a consistent performance. Although he's a newcomer to this specific setting, his adaptability is something I'm banking on.

His recent performances at Richmond further bolster my confidence in him. Two runs back, he jumped well and then, in his last start, he impressively settled forward, finishing second over 320m. It's worth noting that he has won from this draw before, his only start from such a position, which suggests that he knows how to leverage it to his advantage.

So, given these factors, I reckon Loco Express is not just a bet but a calculated choice. With his track record and his performance from this draw, I'm confident he'll go close again, making him a compelling choice for today's races!

Bonus Pick for the Day:

Greyhound: #5 Infra Terra
Odds: $2.00
Race: Casino, Race 11 [10:29pm AEST]
Trainer: Rodney Herr
Form: 124

Why it's our pick: For my 'bonus pick of the day,' with win odds of $2.00, I'm putting my faith in #5 Infra Terra. Coming into this race fresh off a break, Infra Terra caught my eye first as a smart debut winner here back in November. And although his subsequent two runs were merely okay, it's clear to me that he possesses significant upside and stands out as a leading contender in today's lineup.

What really cements Infra Terra as my pick, though, is his history of performing exceptionally well when fresh. He's returning from a ten-week break, and it's worth remembering that his only other run after a similar break was his debut, where he triumphed impressively with a time of 23.41 over 411m right here at this track. This not only showcases his capability but also his adaptability and resilience.

So, in keeping all of this in mind, I believe Infra Terra positioned as a formidable contender today, and I think he will be tough to beat!

Ready to get the inside track on greyhound betting? Let's dig into the key factors and strategies that can turn a guess into an educated bet. Welcome to the art of picking a winning greyhound!

• Form: When you're sizing up a Greyhound, one of the first things you should look at is its form. Has the dog been tearing up the track recently, or has it been more of a tail-ender? Recent form can give you a solid indication of a Greyhound's current capabilities.
• Class: Class refers to the level at which a Greyhound has been competing. A jump in class can mean stiffer competition, while a drop can provide a confidence boost to our four-legged friend.
• Speed: In Greyhound racing, speed can make all the difference. Pay attention to a dog's sectional times and overall race times to gauge its speed. The fastest dogs are usually the ones crossing the finish line first!
• Track Bias: Every track has its quirks. Some dogs might perform better on certain tracks due to their running style, track conditions, or weather on race day. So, keep an eye on the track!
• Race History: How has the dog performed in past races? Has it consistently been a strong contender, or does it have a mixed bag of results? A dog's race history can provide insights into its potential future performance.
• Betting Odds: The odds reflect the public's opinion of a Greyhound's chances. Lower odds indicate a favourite, while higher odds suggest an underdog. However, don't just follow the crowd - look for value bets where you believe a dog has a better chance than the odds imply!
• Finding the Value Bets: It's all about comparing your assessment of a Greyhound's chances to the odds on offer. If you believe the odds are higher than they should be based on your evaluation, you've potentially found a value bet.

To bring this all together, let's take a gander at an example. Say we have a Greyhound named 'Thunder Bolt', with a recent form of 1123, showing consistency. He's dropping in class, his sectional times are among the fastest, and he's previously performed well at the upcoming track. His race history is impressive, and the odds on offer for a win are generous. Here, based on our strategy, 'Thunder Bolt' appears to be a strong pick, and a possible value bet.

And always remember, there are no guarantees in betting, but understanding these factors can significantly boost your chances. Happy punting, mate!
