Favourites win plenty of races. But the real thrill, and often the real value, lies in finding the one the market hasn’t fully caught up with.
Betsy’s Bolters, proudly supported by Unibet, is our weekly search for punting gold. We dive deep into the replays, sectionals and market profiles to uncover runners flying under the radar, horses sitting at double-figure odds but with far more upside than their price suggests.
These aren’t wild darts. They’re calculated swings at big prices.

Randwick – Dean Watling
Race 5 No.9 Horseshoe Hill ($17/$3.2)
Horseshoe Hill has come up huge odds here. He’s been off the scene 245 days but returns with two excellent trials and was last seen running second to Raging Force which ties in well here
Murray Bridge – Mitch Lewis
Race 6 No.1 Cinque Torri ($15/$3.50)
Cinque Torri is sharply down in grade here today having run well at odds in Listed grade last time out, she is back to benchmark grade and gets to peak fitness 3rd up where he has had good success previously (6:2-2-0). He also looks likely to get a soft run on speed and can be in this race for a long way
Flemington – Matt Welsh
Race 2 No.2 Nervous Witness ($26/$4.40)
Think the horse massively over the odds is Nervous Witness. His best form in HK is all 1000m down the Sha Tin straight. Look, he may be totally cast, but his trials leading into the first-up run at Randwick were sound and liked his jump-out down the straight since. If he brings anything like his best straight-track form they won’t see which way he goes. Have to have something on at 33/1.
Race 8 No.9 Until Valhalla ($18/$4.40)
Not sure how Until Walhalla is such a big price. Won a handy BM84 two back and then ran one of the best last sections you’ll see in the Mannerism. She takes some riding and to be stopped in her tracks like she was last start is hopeless. Wide draw suits as she needs clean air.
