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

Horse racing and football tips

by

This weekend looks set to be the last without horse racing in England, with action returning there on Monday.

The sport will also restart in Ireland seven days later, with June set to be a bumper month for racing in both countries.

The Bundesliga continues this weekend after a couple of entertaining games during the week, while the Premier League is also set to return to action in the coming weeks.

Here's our best bets for the weekend:

Hertha Berlin to beat Augsburg 2.30pm Saturday 5/6

Hertha Berlin dealt RB Leipzig's title hopes a huge blow on Wednesday evening when they came away from the Red Bull Arena with a 2-2 draw.

That result came after 4-0 and 3-0 wins over Union Berlin and Hoffenheim respectively since the Bundesliga started back.

With Bruno Labbadia's side in such good form, it would be no surprise to see them pick up three points at home here.

Southern Legend 9.40am Sha Tin Sunday

Southern Legend showed his class to win the Group 1 Champions Mile last time out and takes a drop in grade for Sunday's contest.

The seven-year-old runs off top weight and faces a number of tough opponents in what should be a competitive contest.

But he can show his class by recording another victory here.

Tropbeau Longchamp Monday 2/1

It's a Bank Holiday, so we're including selections for Monday in this weekend's betting tips.

The French equivalent of the 1,000 Guineas takes place at Longchamp in the Poule dEssai des Pouliches.

Tropbeau is the deserved favourite after an impressive campaign as a two-year-old, winning three of her five starts and finishing third in the Group 1 Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes in her final start season.

She was successful over course and distance in his seasonal reappearance and should go very close for top trainer Andre Fabre.

Rubaiyat 3.45pm Cologne Monday

The German 2,000 Guineas also take place on Monday and Rubaiyat looks like he could be tough to beat.

He was undefeated as a two-year-old, winning all four of his starts.

Rubaiyat will be partnered by Andrasch Starke, who won this race in 2001 and also rode Danedream to success in the 2011 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
