Port Augusta Racecourse horse racing tips and form preview

Port Augusta Horse Racing Tips Sun 21/6/26

20 June 2026

Good track at Port Augusta with a fine day overhead, so the going won’t sort them out. The market’s gone short on a few here, but the one we keep coming back to is Cradle Of Jazz in Race 6 at $3.10. Only nine line up and she maps to get the right run from gate 2. Four we’re keen on across the day, and we’d rather take a price on the ones the market has underrated than chase the cramped favourites.

Race 3
1:48pm · 1867m · Plate (C1) · 10 runners

5. Wakool Ash $4.80

Barrier 1 · Midfield · Soft pace

The favourite’s drawn the carpark in gate 10, and I’m not paying $3.60 to watch one do all the work from out there. #5 Wakool Ash gets the rail, the blinkers go on, and he’s coming off a win with a second the start before. At $4.80 from barrier 1, he’s the one I’m on.

Race 4
2:25pm · 1100m · Hcp (52) · 12 runners

10. My Truth $4.60

Barrier 1 · Off Pace · Genuine pace

Genuine speed up front, blinkers on, and #10 My Truth gets the rail to swoop off the back of it. He’s back from a spell and ran third first-up, so he’s ready to go. The favourite has to wind up from midfield and I’m not paying $3.20 for that. Give me My Truth at $4.60 to run over the top of them.

Race 6Best Bet
3:45pm · 1867m · Hcp (Bm72) · 9 runners

5. Cradle Of Jazz $3.10

Barrier 2 · Midfield · Soft pace

#5 Cradle Of Jazz won last start and I’m sticking with him here. Drawn 2, the blinkers and visors stay on, and even with the soft tempo he’s got the late kick to pick them off from midfield. The favourite is no better than the same $3.10 sitting closer, so I know which one I want. Take Cradle Of Jazz at $3.10.

Race 7
4:25pm · 1498m · Hcp (Bm56) · 11 runners

3. Never Surrender $6.00

Barrier 8 · Midfield · Genuine pace

$6 on #3 Never Surrender, who just won, with real speed up front to chase from midfield. The fav #2 Star Casino is $2.30 from gate 11 off the pace, too short for mine. I’m on the winner at six bucks.
