The Invitation 2026 Tips, Predictions & Best Bets
We have The Invitation tips and predictions for the Group 2 1400m race at Randwick on Saturday. The Invitation odds have Lazzura favoured to win, but it should be a close contest in Sydney. Lazzura is a clear top pick for The Invitation after a stellar preparation for trainer Chris Waller. The five-year-old mare by Snitzel comes into this off a brilliant second-up win in the Group 2 Golden Pendant at Rosehill, where she proved too strong for Verona Rose over 1400m. She handles this distance exceptionally well and goes particularly well third-up. With Tommy Berry taking the ride from…
New Plymouth Tips & Preview | Friday 23 October
New Plymouth hosts an eight-race card on Friday, with the track rated a Soft5 and the rail out 7m. The forecast is clear for the duration of the card on Friday, therefore the track should remain in good order throughout. Mitch Davis has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the eight races at the New Plymouth meeting on Friday 22 October below: Borrowed Time (#1) heads here off a 4th at Woodville a fortnight ago, beaten 2L, where he made some late ground from midfield without…
Spring Champion Stakes 2026 Tips: Predictions & Best Bets
We have Spring Champion Stakes tips and predictions for the Group 1 2000m race at Randwick on Saturday. Spring Champion Stakes odds have Global Goal as the current favourite, and she will be tough to beat in the $2 million feature. Global Goal looks the one to beat in the Spring Champion Stakes after an impressive win in the Group 1 Flight Stakes over 1600m. The John Sargent-trained filly has been building nicely throughout the spring, recording a win and two third-place finishes from her last three starts. Her latest victory showed she can handle pressure against quality opposition, and…
Cox Plate 2026 Tips, Predictions & Best Bets
We have Cox Plate tips and predictions for the Group 1 2040m race at Flemington on Saturday. Cox Plate odds have Sir Delius and Warwoven favoured to win, in what should be another classic edition of the big race. Sir Delius is our best bet for the Cox Plate and looks the horse to beat heading into Saturday’s big one at Flemington. He has been a major player throughout the spring, and his class over the 2040m should make him tough to hold out if he gets the right run. The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained star brings plenty of…
Invercargill Tips & Preview | Thursday 22 October
Mitch Davis has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the eight races at the Invercargill meeting on Thursday 22 October below: Swift Thinker (#6) is a 3yo Armory filly resuming here for Kelvin Tyler at just her second career start, last seen finishing 3rd in 2yo company at Riverton back in April. She comes here without a public trial, but did win a jumpout at Winton earlier this month. She maps to settle behind the likely leader Outlaw from her inside gate, which should see her…
2026 Cox Plate Field, Barrier Draw & Form
The Cox Plate is a Group 1 race at Flemington on Saturday, and it’s one of the must-see races on the Australian racing calendar. Cox Plate odds have Sir Delius narrowly favoured to win, but money has come for 3YO colt Warwoven with a light weight. Cox Plate Final Field & Barrier Draw Warwoven has been well-backed to win the Cox Plate, and barrier 2 is a big help. He’ll get every chance in the run from there, which is why money has come for him since markets opened. Cosmic Crusader has drawn awkwardly in barrier 8, which isn’t ideal…

Te Aroha Tips & Preview | Wednesday 21 October
Te Aroha hosts a nine-race card on Wednesday, with the track rated a Soft5 and the rail out 7m. Conditions are forecast to be clear for Te Aroha for the duration of raceday, therefore the track should remain in good order throughout. Mitch Davis has been through the form guide and speed maps and has provided his race analysis and betting strategy for each of the nine races at the Te Aroha meeting on Wednesday 21 October below: Lofty Manuel (#3) got back and spent much of the straight shifting ground last start at Te Rapa, though she got home…
