Sportsbet.com.au are kicking off the big three metropolitan meets this weekend in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.

We recommend taking River Goddess to win $10 at Sportsbet.com.au in the first at Flemington. The three-year-old filly was a stylish winner at Ballarat just over a week ago and will look to go back-to-back.
Unbeaten two-year-old Awesome Pluck looks hard to hold out at(+200) via Sportsbet.com.au in the first at Warwick Farm. The Jane Graham gelding won convincingly on debut at Taree and Ty Angland again takes the ride on the young gun.
Any galloper that has the great Willie Pike on board is sure to be a contender at Belmont, and placing some hard earned on Proceedwithcaution at mammoth odds of $12 at Sportsbet.com.au could be a sound investment. The six-year-old is second up on Saturday, where it has previous won twice from five attempts. Pike is certain to bring the best out of the gelding.
Crownbet.com.au is running a similar promotion to Sportsbet, but they are focusing on the last four races at Flemington, while adding the sunshine state’s main meeting of Doomben Racecourse as their other race card.
A bet on gun runner Tshahitsi to win (+500) at CrownBet.com.au looks to be the play at Flemington here. The horse was simply outclassed by a fitter horse on the day in the form of Cannyescent last time out. It will get its chance to win its third race from four starts on Saturday.
The go-to move in Brisbane this weekend is investing on Backslapper to win at odds of (+600) via CrownBet.com.au in the seventh race on the card. The four-year-old is in red-hot form, having won three of its last five starts. It also comes into Saturday third up where it has won previously from its solitary attempt. The race looks to be at the gelding’s mercy.

A lot of weekend multis are going to be anchored by unbeaten colt Royal Symphony at slender odds of (-250) via Ladbrokes.com.au, but those who are looking for a bargain can get much better odds if they use the Ladbrokes promotion on Saturday.
