Carnarvon Horse Racing Tips Sat 12/9/26

Updated 12 September 2026

Cup day at Carnarvon and the market has most of this card priced tight. Six races on a Good track with fine weather, so no excuses for anyone, and not a lot to argue with on price either. The one we like is Cruise To Victory in Race 2. He should lead them from gate 6 in a six, horse field, and $2.90 for him is fair rather than generous, but the rest of the card gives me less to work with. Have a look at the Cup in the 5 for the fun of it, but our money stays on the one race.

2. Cruise To Victory $2.90

Barrier 6 · Leader · Genuine pace

Six runners, and #2 Cruise To Victory is the one who’ll be in front. Gate 6 is the outside, but with only six in the race he crosses without a fight and Tiana Murray can dictate from there. Three wins from his last six, and the fourth last start doesn’t bother me over 1200m on a good track. #4 Red Rebel has to chase from midfield at $3.50. I’d rather have the leader at $2.90.
