Saturday 3 October 2026 — tipping comp

Randwick & Flemington · 20 races · three tiers per race  ·  my live score →
MAIN = my best call (the one to submit) · MEDIUM = best value in the $5–$16 band · LONG = $17+. One horse per race still applies; the tiers are options, not extra selections.
Scoring: win pays the NSW TAB win odds in points · a place pays the place dividend · a win does not pay both. Double points: Randwick R8 (Epsom) and Flemington R8 (Turnbull Stakes).

Randwick

Soft 6first race 12:05
R112:05Midway (BM72) 1800m
MAIN2 Doradus$3.70pl $1.60rW100Led all the way over 1900m at Canterbury and carries the equal-best wet rating in the race.
MEDIUM10 Cabbucio$11.00pl $3.00rW87Won last start at Newcastle by 1.3L and drops back in class — the algorithm flagged him as over the odds each-way.
LONG9 So Rebellious$26.00pl $6.00rW83Ran 3rd (beaten 1.3L) at Randwick last start — the best recent form in the price band.
R212:40Arrowfield Breeders’ Plate 1000m
MAIN8 Nonu$2.30pl $1.16rW98Anamoe colt who led throughout to win his trial by 3.5L; barrier 3.
MEDIUM5 Flying Houdini$6.00pl $1.60rW95Won last start at Kensington; well drawn in barrier 2.
LONG6 Lead The Charge$19.00pl $3.00rW72Ran 2nd of 7 at Kensington at its only start — the pick of a thin band in a 2yo lottery.
R313:15Keeneland Gimcrack Stakes 1000m
MAIN12 Shezablaze$3.40pl $1.60rW86Led and extended to win her trial by 2.8L.
MEDIUM2 Bourbon Beat$9.50pl $2.90rW99Top-3 in all of the last five and the best wet rating in the band; the wide draw (11) is the knock.
LONG9 Rhythm$17.00pl $4.40rW100Ran 3rd at Kensington at its only start and holds the equal-best wet rating in the field at 17s.
R413:50Dulcify Stakes 1600m
MAIN5 Hozumi$8.50pl $2.10rW74Gave them a start and a beating at Illawarra; the favourite is $1.90, which is no use in a points comp.
MEDIUM7 Power Broker$12.00pl $2.50rW75Won last start at Hawkesbury by 2.3L and McEvoy has three top-3s from four rides on him.
LONG9 Crown Of Fire$18.00pl $3.30rW756th of 10 last start but only 22 days between runs in a race with nothing else at a price.
R514:25Benchmark 94 1600m
MAIN16 Unleeshing$1.95pl $1.24rW100Badly held up then attacked the line when second here a fortnight ago and has a strong track-and-trip record.
MEDIUM9 The Mona Lisa$10.00pl $2.80rW89Won four of the last five including last start at Randwick, and her record at the track and trip is 6: 5-1-0.
LONG11 Rock Empire$23.00pl $5.00rW902: 1-0-0 at the track and trip with a solid wet rating for the price.
R615:00Darley Flight Stakes (G1) 1600m
MAIN3 Global Goal$3.20pl $1.65rW90The obvious all prep; found them sharp in the Tea Rose but will relish the mile.
MEDIUM4 Queen’s Gamble$13.00pl $4.60rW87Won two of the last five and has a strong career strike rate.
LONG6 Sumac$81.00pl $26.00rW72The only runner above 17s and yet to fire at Randwick (4: 0-0-0) — a genuine lottery ticket in a thin race.
R715:35Asahi Super Dry Metropolitan (G2) 2400m
MAIN5 Juja Kibo$7.00pl $2.00rW93Best wet rating in the race, well in at the weights, and Clipperton has three top-3s from three rides.
MEDIUM8 Thebudgiesmugla$16.00pl $3.30rW892: 1-0-0 at the track and trip and seven wins from fifteen starts.
LONG13 Steel Blaze$126.00pl $18.00rW63Ran 2nd at Newcastle last start. A big price, but the place dividend alone is $18 — 18 points.
R816:10TAB Epsom (G1) — DOUBLE POINTS 1600m⭐ DOUBLE POINTS
MAIN4 Idle Flyer$17.00pl $4.60rW92Ran super in the 7 Stakes, well in at the weights, and a wet track helps. A win is 34 points doubled.
MEDIUM8 Attica$5.50pl $2.10rW93Top-3 in all of the last five and rarely runs poorly here (3: 1-0-1 at the track and trip).
LONG10 Fully Lit$21.00pl $5.00rW92Won last start at Newcastle by 1.3L and has never missed a place at the track and trip (2: 0-2-0).
R916:45Precise Air Premiere Stakes (G2) 1200m
MAIN1 Mazu$18.00pl $3.40rW95A Group 1 winner with a strong wet rating at a big price — Tempted at $1.40 is no use if someone lands a 20s winner.
MEDIUM2 Caballus$9.50pl $2.30rW85Won last start at Rosehill; his second-up record reads 4: 3-0-0.
LONG12 Marhoona$17.00pl $3.30rW90Top-3 in three of the last five with four wins from ten starts.
R1017:25TAB One Pool (BM94) 1200m
MAIN10 Platinum Pantheon$9.50pl $3.00rW78Kiwi trials have been first class but he needs luck from gate 15, and his wet rating is the weak point.
MEDIUM2 Wanaruah$11.00pl $3.40rW100Won three of the last five including last start, and 3: 2-0-0 at Randwick — the wet-track play at the price.
LONG5 Captain Furai$23.00pl $6.00rW872: 1-0-1 at Randwick and goes well second-up (4: 2-0-0).

Flemington

MEDIUM6 Maalefushi$9.50pl $4.00rW97Twice around Flemington in a fortnight for two jump-out placings, and barrier 3 hands her the inside running on a Heavy 10.
LONGOnly six runners and the longest price in the field is $9.50, so there is no genuine long-odds play here.
R212:55TAB One Pool (BM78) 1200m

R313:30Howden Super Impose Stakes 1800m
MAIN6 Icy You$11.00pl $3.20rW94Game in defeat at Caulfield and a Heavy 10 that turns into a stamina test plays right into him.
MEDIUM5 Vallice$5.50pl $2.10rW98Drops back in class and is the only runner in the race with a heavy-track win to his name.
LONG1 Ko Phangan$19.00pl $4.60rW934th of 6 last start but drops back in class with the equal-best wet rating in the band.
R414:05Edward Manifold Stakes (G2) 1600m

LONG16 Abaya$61.00pl $13.00rW934th of 9 last start and the standout wet rating in the band — the place dividend is $13.
R514:40Cirka Rose Of Kingston Stakes (G2) 1400m

R615:15Asahi Super Dry Danehill Stakes 1100m
MAIN10 Natural Fling$2.30pl $1.24rW100rW100 against The Next Episode’s rW72 — on a Heavy 10 that gap is everything.

LONG6 Buggsy$26.00pl $4.80rW70Three wins from the last five and a strong career strike rate (2 from 4).
R715:50The Lexus Bart Cummings (G3) 2520m
MAIN11 Litzdeel$5.50pl $2.10rW87Strips 4.5kg from her fifth in the Archer and her Sydney Cup fifth says staying is her game.
MEDIUM14 Jennivamoose$6.00pl $2.20rW89Third in the Archer here giving weight away, drops 2.5kg and should turn the form around — if barrier 17 permits.
LONG20 Suffolk Star$41.00pl $9.00rW75Two wins from the last five and rated an each-way play at the odds.
R816:25TAB Turnbull Stakes (G1) — DOUBLE POINTS 2000m⭐ DOUBLE POINTS

R917:05Gilgai Stakes (G2) 1200m
MAIN15 Skybird$3.30pl $1.55rW94Group 1 mare 2kg below WFA on the minimum, handles wet ground and likes the straight.

MAIN2 Cafe Millenium$6.50pl $2.20rW100Track-and-distance specialist (7: 3-1-1) with rW100, and the danger Enxuto is now scratched.
