Randwick Horse Racing Tips Wed 7/10/26
No pure sprints at Randwick, with the card running 1250m…

Captain Maverick in Race 5 is the one we keep coming back to at $3.80, but the bigger read at Doomben today is the lack of leaders. Heavy 8 with showers around, and nearly every race has no one wanting to roll forward. The market keeps backing the closers on a wet track, while the horse that grabs the front gets an uncontested lead and a kick home. Plenty going on across the eight, and we’re keen on the ones that can find the front.
10. Tassorati $4.00
Barrier 3 · Pace · No leader
$2.20 for the favourite is short on a horse that keeps finding seconds without putting one away. #10 Tassorati can lead them up from gate 3 in a race with no genuine leader, ear muffs on, and Tony Gollan and Ben Thompson go well together. At $4, I’d rather be on the one that can dictate than the one always running into a placing.
2. La Profecia $7.00
Barrier 4 · Pace · No leader
I’m on #2 La Profecia at $7. Second up off the freshen, with a third and a fourth before the spell, drawn 4. The fav is $2.50 first up with one placing in four.
7. Immediate $6.50
Barrier 6 · Midfield · No leader
Easy. Blinkers go on for #7 Immediate in a no-leader race on a Heavy 8, gate 6, and he keeps knocking on the door without saluting. I’ll take $6.50, no thanks to $1.85 for #2 Siesta.
4. Adranos $7.00
Barrier 6 · Midfield · Soft pace
Tony Gollan strips them ready and Ryan Maloney rides #4 Adranos. He keeps finding the placings, and blinkers come off here in a no-speed race. He maps midfield, while #7 Moshulu Spirit at $1.80 has to come from further back, and from gate 6 Adranos sits in the better spot. $7. Have him.
3. Captain Maverick $3.80
Barrier 2 · Midfield · No leader
Why take $2.50 on #6 All Kinds Of Folk from gate 7 in a no-leader race? #3 Captain Maverick gets gate 2 on the rail, Maloney rides for Waller, and the same midfield job from a softer draw is the call. He’s run three placings and a sixth from his last four, and over 2060m on a Heavy 8 the inside counts. Give me Captain Maverick at $3.80.
6. Stranglehold $6.50
Barrier 1 · Backmarker · No leader
Gate 1 in a no-leader race is where I want to be. #6 Stranglehold gets the rail with Ryan Maloney on, and he’s won a race in this prep with a third in there too. The fav #11 Bonus Season takes $3.90 from gate 10 trying to do the same thing from worse ground. $6.50, sticking with the better draw.
12. Speedy One $8.50
Barrier 2 · Pace · No leader
Won his last and back third-up. #12 Speedy One gets gate 2 in a no-leader race while the fav has to cross from gate 5 at $1.70. $8.50, on him.
12. Winsome Star $4.60
Barrier 5 · Off Midfield · No leader
The fav is the risk here, first up off the spell at $3.90 in a no-leader race. #12 Winsome Star at $4.60 from gate 5 has been running into fourths without quite saluting, Jaden Lloyd rides. The fav settles midfield himself, so we’re paying short for the same map on a horse with no run. Take Winsome Star at the better price.
