Moruya Horse Racing Tips Fri 10/7/26

Updated 10 July 2026

Soft 5 at Moruya and the weather’s come up fine, so the track should keep drying through the day rather than getting any worse. The thing that ties our three together is the pace. None of the races we’re keen on look to have a genuine leader, so they set up for horses that can settle back and run home late. That’s exactly the type we’ve landed on. This Ain’t Texas in the opener, Yes Arnie in Race 5 and Butterfly Style in the last are all off-pace runners in races with no obvious speed. Three worth a look on a card of eight, and the prices are fair enough that we’re happy to take them on.

Forecast for Moruya, New South Wales · WeatherAPI.com · captured 10:27am Fri 10 Jul
Race 1
12:00pm · 1020m · Mdn Plate · 10 runners

9. This Ain’t Texas $6.50

Barrier 4 · Off Pace · No leader

No clear leader, off pace trip from gate 4, on a soft track.

Race 5
2:25pm · 1435m · Mdn Plate · 14 runners

8. Yes Arnie $8.50

Barrier 9 · Off Pace · No leader

Blinkers go on for the first time and that’s the hook. #8 Yes Arnie has been finding the line lately, a couple of placings and a second in his last few, and he swoops late off the speed. With no clear leader up front, the tempo can turn into a grind that brings him into it, running over the top of them. The favourite sits closer at $3.60, but I’d rather take $8.50 on the horse coming home hardest.

Race 8
4:15pm · 1435m · Hcp (Bm74) · 13 runners

9. Butterfly Style $5.50

Barrier 5 · Off Pace · No leader

I’m on #9 Butterfly Style at $5.50. He broke through last start, Grant Buckley stays put, and from gate 5 he settles back then finishes over the top late, which is what you want with no genuine leader up front. The fav at $4.40 races closer, but give me the bigger price on the one hitting the line hardest.
