Randwick Racecourse horse racing tips and form preview

Randwick Horse Racing Tips Wed 9/9/26

Two we’re keen on at Randwick, and neither of them is a price. Columbus is $2.45 in the 4 and Deep Pleasure is $1.95 in the 5, so the market is well and truly onto both. It’s a Soft 5 with fine weather over the top, so the ground isn’t going to turn the form on its head. Deep Pleasure gets the run of the race from gate 2 and Columbus has to work his way through midfield from an outside gate. That makes it a thin card for value. We’re not manufacturing a bet in the other races just to have something going, so take the two short ones if you like them and leave the rest alone.

5. Columbus $2.45

Barrier 8 · Midfield · No leader

James McDonald sticking with the Les Bridge horse is the bit I like here. #5 Columbus won first up this prep and ran second last start, and the blinkers stay on for the 1800m. Gate 8 is the knock, but with no obvious leader he can slide over and land in a good spot. $2.45 is short, so I’d rather have him straight out to win than fiddle about each-way.

Race 5
3:55pm · 1550m · BM72 · 9 runners

2. Deep Pleasure $1.95

Barrier 2 · Midfield · Soft pace

Second, second, then a win last start. I like the way #2 Deep Pleasure keeps finding the line, and from gate 2 Zac Lloyd can put her where he wants over 1550m. #6 Pierata’s Gem has to give them a start from off the speed at $4.80. $1.95 is short, and she’s still the one I want.
