The horse racing tips for events at Exeter, Kempton, Newcastle, and Yarmouth feature tips and predictions for the top events.

Exeter, Kempton, Newcastle, and Yarmouth are some of the racecourses involved in action on October 18. Horse racing today will also see action taking place at Gowran Park, but the former courses in the United Kingdom are expected to see the biggest draw amongst fans.

Exeter

Regarded as one of the top National Hunt courses, Exeter has also been a great track for a novice chaser. Even though the number of events at Exeter racecourse on October 18 is limited, some of the events like 188bet Best Mate Beginners' Chase and 188bet.co.uk Handicap Chase will be extremely popular nonetheless. The participation of horses like Rock Of Leon and The Wealerdealer do make the former an attractive option amongst punters who bet online.

Going is good-good to firm in places.

VERDICT - 16:40 - PHILIP HOBBS landed this amazing prize back in 2012 with Garde La Victoire and the trainer seems to help claims here with SAMBURU SHUJAA. The son of high-class horse Poliglote and brother to some French winners, this threee-year-old can win here. Castlerigg deserves some respect. Scheu Time also deserves a market check.

Kempton

The proximity of Kempton racecourse to London has always been a positive factor on its side. The races on October 18 should also be quite popular amongst horse racing betting tips even if the track is rated from standard to slow. Quite a number of events are scheduled, but 32Red Handicap is expected to be the most popular. After having won the last two races, Cryptic is seen as the overwhelming favourite in the best odds for the Kempton event at 10/3.

Going is standard to slow. No draw advantage.

VERDICT - 19:40 - BAZAAT was really impressive on this racecourse when it landed a 2nd consecutive win last week. John Ryan's charge rates are the one to beat once more. Bazaat is a three-year-old who saw plenty of improvement lately on this surface and the 6lb rise looks quite fair given his fine form. On the same note, Outlaw Torn is very interesting and he is having his first try at this venue. Purple Party deserves some respect.

Newcastle

A hugely historic racecourse in the United Kingdom, Newcastle course underwent big changes recently. Among the numerous events taking place on October 18, Parklands Driving Range Handicap will be seen as a favourite amongst punters. There are no clear favourites for a win, as Menai is backed at 4/1 while Manatee Bay comes a close second with odds of 6/1. Other top events, according to horse racing tips, today may be the Parklands Driving Range Handicap at 15:30.

Going is standard. No draw advantage.

VERDICT - 15:30 - SPANISH CITY appealed as a handicapped runner when making his debut in this new grade at Doncaster. He disappointed when 4th behind Kestrel Call. He has received time to recover from that incredibly poor effort and has seen improvements. Money Team makes appeal with Clifford Lee's 5 lb claim.

Yarmouth

Just like the Newcastle racecourse, Yarmouth also went major changes in terms of course surface and route. Today, Yarmouth has one of the best straight mile courses in the world. Amongst the top events on October 18, British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies' Maiden Stakes could be the least difficult to predict. Loving is rated as overwhelming favourite for a win at odds of 15/8 in the horse racing betting odds. Breeders Backing Racing EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes and Optimist Design Ltd Handicap would be the other top races.

Going is good to soft-soft in places. High numbers have advantage on the straight course, especially in large fields.

VERDICT - 15:20 - GUANABARA BAY remains a maiden. The three-year-old has gone close to breaking that tag on a few occasions this year, including when 2nd here over 6 furlongs in August. On the same note, GREAT EXPECTATIONS has had some great results and should do well in the end.
