Weekend betting tips: Four bets that could make you a fortune

The majority of sport across the world remains off, but horse racing action continues in a couple of countries this weekend.

Football is also still being played in Belarus, with the Eastern European country pulling out all the stops to build a worldwide audience.

Here's our best bets over the coming days:

Sierra Sue 6.56am Morphettville Saturday 14/1

This horse looks a cracking each-way bet in the Group 1 Schweppes Oaks early on Saturday morning.

She was just beaten a head by Affair To Remember over a mile at Sandown in her penultimate run and bounced back with a win in her last start.

She is a double figure price and is worth an each-way punt in this big field.

Home Of The Brave 8:15am Morphettville Saturday 5/1

This lad was third behind the very impressive Gytrash two weeks ago and there's no reason why he shouldn't put in another big performance here.

Formerly trained by Hugo Palmer in England, his form has been up and down since moving to Australia after being gelded.

He could go well here from a good draw.

Charlatan 11.29pm Oaklawn Park Saturday 4/7

Charlatan has won both his career starts to date, having not run as a two-year-old.

He looks set to go off at very short odds for this weekend's Arkansas Derby, but could be another special horse for top American trainer Bob Baffert.

The way he won over a mile last time leaves the impression that this slightly longer trip won't be a problem.

Nadal 12.43am Oaklawn Park Sunday  EVS

Another Bob Baffert runner, Nadal will be another short-priced favourite after winning all three of his starts to date.

Baffert could enjoy a hugely profitable weekend as he is responsible for the favourites in both divisions of the Arkansas Derby.

And he stated earlier this week that Nadal "doesn't get the respect that he should be getting", describing him as "a really top horse". That sounds extremely positive.
