It’s not a headline weekend on paper, but those are often the ones that throw up the best value betting opportunities. We’re keeping things simple and zoning in on the last four races at Randwick and Eagle Farm, where the late-day patterns, fitness edges, and race shape tend to matter most. No big features to navigate — just solid races, workable markets, and a few chances to finish the day on a positive note!
🏇 Randwick Race 7 – Asahi Super Dry BM94 (1100m)
📝 Race Overview:
A sharp 1100m where weight swings and race shape are everything. With a few likely to roll forward, this should be run at a genuine clip, suiting runners that can settle midfield and finish off rather than get involved in a speed battle. Fitness and efficiency late will be decisive.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: KING’S SECRET
💰 Odds: ~$ 2.6
⚡ “Hard to ignore here. He was solid last start under a big weight and now gets a massive 8kg drop, which is a huge leveller in a race like this. He’s a progressive type, proven at the track & distance, and maps to get a soft run just off the speed. With Zac Lloyd hopping on and conditions to suit, this looks a very winnable setup.”
💎 Best Value Bet: DOLLAR MAGIC
💰 Odds: ~$ 11
💥 “Always thereabouts and better than the price suggests. She held her ground nicely behind the on-pace runners last start, draws to land in a handy position again, and rarely runs a bad race. Not a standout on raw ratings, but she’s honest, fit, and worth something small each-way in an open BM94.”
🏇 Randwick Race 8 – Toyota Forklifts BM100 (1400m)
📝 Race Overview:
A strong BM100 over 1400m where positioning and tempo will matter. There looks to be enough intent up front to ensure this isn’t a sit-and-sprint, which should give every runner their chance. Horses stepping back into the right grade and distance profile look well placed to strike.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: GALLANT STAR
💰 Odds: ~$ 6.5
⚡ “This looks his race. He’s been holding his own in stronger company and now finds a much more suitable setup back at 1400m. Well weighted for the grade, proven at the track, and maps to roll forward into a prominent spot without burning too much petrol. His recent Randwick runs are better than they read on paper — if he gets any cheap section mid-race, he’ll take running down.”
💎 Best Value Bet: SUNSHINEINMYPOCKET
💰 Odds: ~$ 9.5
💥 “Better than the odds suggest. Had genuine excuses last start after working early, but his prior form stacks up well for a race like this. Can settle just off the speed and grind away late. Not without risk, but at the price he’s worth an each-way look if the tempo stays honest.”
🏇 Randwick Race 9 – The Inglis Influence BM78 (1400m)
📝 Race Overview:
A competitive BM78 over 1400m where positioning and timing will be key. There looks to be a lot of speed engaged to ensure this is run honestly, which should give runners settling just off midfield their chance to wind up late. Form lines converge nicely here, making it a race where fitness and race craft matter more than raw brilliance.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: ALABAMA FOX
💰 Odds: ~$ 4.8
⚡ “This mare is trending the right way. She’s improved with each run this prep, bumped into a smart one second up, and has since been freshened with a sharp trial. Zac Lloyd back aboard is a big tick, and from a soft draw she maps to get a perfect run just off the speed. At this grade, she looks ready to strike.”
💎 Best Value Bet: BELLA CORAZON
💰 Odds: ~$ 9
💥 “Strong late closer who was the best of the backmarkers behind an on-speed quinella first up, winning in her next run. If they run this at a genuine tempo, she’ll be launching late again. Not without risk given her pattern, but she’s in form and capable of finishing right over the top at a price.”
🏇Randwick Race 10 – Petaluma BM78 (1300m)
📝 Race Overview:
A solid BM78 closer to the card where tempo looks genuine without being brutal. There’s enough speed engaged to ensure this is run honestly, which should give every runner their chance. Tactical positioning around the bend will matter, but this sets up nicely for a horse that can take control and sustain a run under pressure.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: CATTOGGIO
💰 Odds: ~$ 4
⚡ “Hard to knock here. He’s been competing in stronger company, including a listed race last start, and drops neatly into this grade. He’s drawn to roll forward, maps to control the race, and has proven he can stick on when setting the tempo. With Joshua Parr aboard and a clean setup, this looks the right race for him to capitalise.”
💎 Best Value Bet: STEP ASIDE
💰 Odds: ~$ 13
💥 “Overs relative to his consistency at the grade. He wasn’t far away last start despite settling too far back, and this race shapes a little more kindly for him with a truer tempo expected. He’s a genuine 1300m horse, rarely runs poorly, and if he can settle a pair closer in the run, he’s capable of charging late at a big price.”
🏇 Eagle Farm Race 7 – Ladbrokes Gold Edition Plate (1200m)
📝 Race Overview:
A sharp 1200m where early pressure looks likely, but not brutal. A couple will want to roll along, which should allow runners just off the speed to get their chance. Recent form at Eagle Farm has held up well in recent times, so proven performers at the track and trip are at a clear advantage.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: GRAFTERSBURNERS
💰 Odds: ~$ 2.2
⚡ “Hard to knock. He led throughout for a dominant fresh win, then backed it up by digging deep again second-up. He’s proven at Eagle Farm, handles all conditions, and maps to get a soft run in transit. If he reproduces his last two runs, they’ll have to go past him — and that won’t be easy.”
💎 Best Value Bet: DAMIEN
💰 Odds: ~$ 8
💥 “Overs relative to his form. He’s been competitive in similar races, strips fitter again, and profiles as the type who can settle midfield and finish into the placings. Doesn’t need to improve much to justify an each-way ticket at the price, especially if the speed is genuine.”
🏇 Eagle Farm Race 8 – Moreton Hire Lough Neagh Stakes (1300m)
📝 Race Overview:
A genuine 1300m contest where tempo looks solid enough to reward runners that can take a position and still finish off. There’s a bit of pace engaged, which should ensure this is run honestly rather than turning into a sit-and-sprint. Race fitness and the ability to absorb pressure will matter late.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: ACCREDITED
💰 Odds: ~$ 3
⚡ “Ticks plenty of boxes here. He’s been right in the mix all prep without things fully falling his way, and his last run behind Yorkshire reads well in the context of this field. Maps to find the front or control things up on speed, and with barrier 1, he gets every chance to dictate. If he finds his rhythm, he’ll take running down.”
💎 Best Value Bet: ROCKRIBBED
💰 Odds: ~$ 7.5
💥 “He was great last start and was stuck in a race shape that didn’t suit first up. Will roll forward again, can sit on speed, and will be fitter third-up. If he gets his own way anywhere near the lead, he can give a big sight at the price.”
🏇 Eagle Farm Race 9 – Sky Racing Handicap (1800m)
📝 Race Overview:
A competitive 1800m where recent form and race fitness count for plenty. There looks to be a genuine tempo without it getting out of hand, which should allow runners settling just off midfield to get their chance late. Proven strength at the trip and the ability to sustain a run are key in what shapes as a solid staying test for this grade.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: YET HE MOVES
💰 Odds: ~$ 6
⚡ “Hard to knock his current form. He was only just outgunned in stronger company before bouncing straight back with a deserved win at Doomben last start. He’s rock-hard fit, proven at the trip, and maps to get a nice run off midfield. If he produces anything like his last two efforts, he’s the one they’ll need to run down again.”
💎 Best Value Bet: MANZOICE
💰 Odds: ~$ 9.5
💥 “The price is tempting for a horse who has genuine upside. He found the line well over further second up and now drops back to 1800m in what looks a softer assignment. Track stats are solid, he should settle midfield with cover, and if the leaders overdo it, he’s the one who can be charging late at odds.”
🏇Eagle Farm Race 10 – Magic Millions BM85 (1200m)
📝 Race Overview:
A competitive BM85 sprint to close the card where tempo looks solid without being frantic. Several runners resume or are early in their prep, so race fitness and late strength over the final 200m will matter. Expect those settling just off the speed to get their chance if the leaders overdo it.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: JOHN RAMBO
💰 Odds: ~$ 3.3
⚡ “Strong fresh over the shorter trip and profiles perfectly stepping up to 1200m. He’ll appreciate the rise in distance, strips fitter, and maps to settle back and build into his work late. Proven at the track, consistent at the grade, and this looks a genuine winning setup.”
💎 Best Value Bet: SAILOR’S SECRET
💰 Odds: ~$ 16
💥 “Big odds for a horse with upside. He’s proven at the trip, can sprint well when fresh, and was narrowly denied in a Doomben trial leading in. If the speed is on and he gets cover early, he’s capable of flashing late — worth a small each-way play.”
