Tamworth and Moruya best bets, inside mail for Friday, June 27, 2025
The Daily Telegraph and Racenet form analyst Shayne O'Cass provides his best bets and quaddie analysis for Tamworth and Moruya on Friday. • â– â– â– â– â– TAMWORTH TIPS BEST BET Race 2 No.1: OCCULT Ex-Godolphin galloper now with Cody Morgan. Trialling well. NEXT BEST Underrated horse; very reliable type, resuming at home. VALUE BET Race 8 No.3: THIS ONE TIME Went within inches of bagging a hat-trick last start. QUADDIE Race 5: 2, 3, 6 Race 6: 2, 4, 8 Race 7: 4, 5, 10 Race 8: 3, 4 JOCKEY TO FOLLOW AARON BULLOCK will be mighty popular in the Jockeys Challenge. TAMWORTH INSIDE MAIL OUR BOY OLLIE (6) is trained here by Michelle Fleming. The rising 7YO has raced here nine times for three wins and two placings. Better still, he has two wins a second and a third from four runs at this same track and distance. Goes well enough fresh, trialling exceedingly well and gets Aaron Bullock on. RHYTHM IS A DANCER (2) has won seven races and placed nine times in just 28 starts. He's constantly run well against, and beating, good quality country horses. Has to go in. BET: OUR BOY OLLIE to win, quinella 2, 6. FIORSUM FRED (2) was beaten 10 lengths at Randwick in a Benchmark 72 mile race. He probably should have won the Gunnedah Cup the start before and did win a Highway the start before that so his best is better than most here. CENOTES (4) has drawn the outside barriers in the Beer Week Cup and Wauchope Cup and paid a price each time. Can never doubt his willingness. ANNULUS (8) was third in the Wauchope Cup at Port last time. Peaking. BET: FIORSUM FRED to win, Cenotes each-way. LORD PROTECTOR (3) started off in Victoria with Busuttin/Young. The son of Savabeel has raced six times in NSW for Craig Martin, winning twice and running three good races in that time. Should mention that one of those wins came at the expense of A Pound Of Salt. TO BE FRANK (5) is/was entered for the Highway on the weekend but drew very wide indeed. The fact that he was a good chance there makes him a big chance here. BET: LORD PROTECTOR to win, quinella 4,5, box trifecta 4, 5, 8, 10. THIS ONE TIME (3) is another canny Rodney Northam buy, he paid $36,000 for the filly at the Inglis Classic Yearling sale and she's already won $46,000 back in seven starts. It could have been a bit more, only she was beaten a lip when on a hat-trick here on June 16. Group One Bloodstock's bargain SPANISH NIGHT (4) was supremely impressive when he won at Moree on debut. Home track this time. ENTERPRISE LEGEND (2) is well in contention. BET: THIS ONE TIME to win, box trifecta 2, 3, 4, 9. â– â– â– â– â– MORUYA TIPS BEST BET Race 3 No.8: RING OF FIRE Was warming up late on debut. Looks on an upward trajectory. NEXT BEST Race 2 No.10: SAWMILL Extra furlong this time could make all the difference. VALUE BET Race 5 No. 11: KOOL BIRD Races especially well here at the home track and distance. MORUYA INSIDE MAIL RACE 5: BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP (1010m) KOOL BIRD (11) has only won once in her 17 starts but most other numbers read rather well actually. For starters, her lone win was here at home. She has raced at the track and distance five times for two seconds and a third. Performs fresh. Kembla resident PRINCETON (1) is no stranger to Moruya having been there four times for two wins and a second. Both career wins are but neither from such a wide draw as Friday's. BET: KOOL BIRD to win. FIRE AND GEMSTONE (3) is racing in fabulous form, his last three in particular, all of them at the Sapphire Coast. With that said, Moruya is his home track and he's won twice there, one at this same distance. PRETTY EYED (9) has won twice and both were at Moruya. Proper miler 1420m fresh, is within her reach. ZOUWASE (5) kept taking steps during his short, sharp first campaign. Tjaka and Soul Taker have claims. BET: FIRE AND GEMSTONE to win, Daily Double 1st Leg 3, 2nd Leg 8. FOURCADE (6) has seven runs here at home for a win and five placings, five runs at the track and trip for a win and four placings. The Shaun Cody-trained daughter of the Germany-based stallion, our own Counterattack, has a nice draw and gets two-off. CANI CANCAN (7) (has raced in some of Moruya's best races and gone well pretty much every time. Won two from four first-up. SUPER EXTREME (2) is a big watch. BET: FOURCADE to win, quinella 6,7, box trifecta 2, 3, 6, 7. WINNIE FORTUNE (8) is a lightly-raced local whose five runs have included a win over Cougars (who is handy) at Nowra as well as three thirds, one each to Beer Baron and The Unique Star, again, both above average country gallopers. GRACEFUL ELLEN (6) was $1.85 when she resumed with a narrow win at Bathurst on June 19. Has been here twice before and ran rather well even though she missed a medal. PLATINUM RIDGE (3), Winning Emotions are chances in a very open race.

Shayne O'Cass's tips and inside mail for Monday racing at Tamworth and Albury
Form analyst Shayne O'Cass presents his best bets and inside mail for Monday's NSW meetings at Tamworth and Albury. â– â– â– â– â– TAMWORTH TIPS BEST BET Race 4 No.2 EVERLASTING KISS: Local ion a good yard, last start winner over her main rival as well. NEXT BEST Race 3 No.3 HELLWITHASMILE: Cody Morgan housed gelding whose trials indicate an early career win. VALUE Race 2 No.3 PRIDE OF NATIONS: A $2,000 buy whose trial was not quite priceless, but good anyhow. QUADDIE Race 4: 2,3 Race 5: 2,4,5,10 Race 6: 1,2 Race 7: 2,7 JOCKEY TO FOLLOW Kody Nestor has some good rides on Monday's card. TAMWORTH INSIDE MAIL RACE 4: Benchmark 66 (2100m) EVERLASTING KISS (2) has plenty more to offer on the track but she is a breeder's dream for later on. For starters, she is by Justify but it only gets better when you factor in that her fifth dam is Eight Carat. As far as the 'punt' goes here, Everlasting Kiss is racing at home today having beaten her main rival, DESCENDING MIST (3), when they met at Inverell last start. That said, there wasn't much between them. BET: EVERLASTING KISS (2) to win (best bet) exacta 2 to beat 3. NOT IN DOUBT (5) is trained by Cody Morgan who has a 21 per cent winning strike-rate here. With that said, the local Not In Doubt has the visitor's draw but he has been so consistent that it is hard to go around him. GREAT POINT (4) is third-up now and getting close to a win. Those two fifths this prep were behind Tasoraay and Red Rags To Bulls. BET: NOT IN DOUBT (5) to win, quinella 5,4, Daily Double 1st Leg 5, 2nd Leg 2. TAVROS (3) is trained here; he has raced at home four times for two wins and a third. On top of that, his jockey Aaron Bullock is one for one on this (bargain) $12,000 yearling. Never won under 1400m but he is fresh-up off a decent trial. STARRY JACK (1) is so used to carrying big weights. Such an honest horse, such an in-form one too being a last start winner. Myalaby has a tidy CV of 12 starts for two wins and four placings. Most impressive at Warren recently. BET: TAVROS (3) each-way, quinella 1,3. THIS ONE TIME (2) was a $15,000 weanling, sold again at the Classic Yearling Sale making $36,000. Already a winner of $41,000 in six runs, she has some amazing broodmare sires; Seattle Slew, Secretariat, all the way back to Man O'War. Now for what really matters; she (and her jockey) are on a hat-trick, one for one at track and distance. Dynamic Syndications filly SAGAPONACK (7) is a Snitzel, a great granddaughter of Lady Jakeo and is also on a hat-trick! BET: THIS ONE TIME (2) to win, quinella 2,7. â– â– â– â– â– ALBURY TIPS BEST BET Race 2 No.2 DONEGAL BAY: Only needed an extra 50m and he wins the 900m maiden; 1000m now. NEXT BEST Race 6 No.11 JATO: Neville Begg/Danny Beasley galloper who is talented beyond this grade. VALUE Race 7 No.8 JUST LIKE LIAM: Been somewhat unlucky; nice race for him here. ALBURY INSIDE MAIL RACE 4: Benchmark 58 (1175m) TI TREE ROYAL (2) is a Ron Stubbs trained local who led throughout to win rather easily at Corowa first-up with Jason Lyon on from a good draw. same deal today only he is back home. Could/should be hard to run down again. SUNDROP (9) didn't run too badly either side of her Corowa win. Is usually strong late and often in significantly better races than this one on Monday. Luke Pepper's IMABARBIEGIRL (6) has claims. BET: TI TREE ROYAL (2) to win, SUNDROP (9) to place, exacta 2 to beat 9. ROCKBARTON SHOUT (1) has raced 13 times for Andrew Dale; winning five, four seconds and twice third. Been here twice for a win and a second. That second was a nose behind Ditterich who will run here as well. back to Rockbarton Shout just to add that she has 'a winning draw' if good enough. MAGNOLIA STAR (13) was too fast for the others when she won here on May 27. BET: ROCKBARTON SHOUT (1) to win, Daily Double 1sr Leg 1, 2nd Leg 8. JATO (11) was bought by Neville Begg for $25,000 as a weanling. The Starcraft filly (out of Zabeel Adrian Knox runner-up, Rahveel) has a real future in the mid to long term. The Danny Beasley-trained 3YO has done some good things in her five starts. She is a 64-rater in an 82 but has a lot of upside. SMART POPPY (5) beat Blow In by inches last at Wagga with Saturday's Highway placegetter Salute Again in third that day. JUST LIKE LIAM (8) hasn't had the best of luck of late. He could have nearly won a Benchmark 66 at Wagga on Town Plate day but for barrier one (boxed in). Back to the mile from two 2000m runs with three weeks off to freshen sets him up to run well. BELLMAN (2) was scratched from a race at home at Wangaratta on Sunday to run here. The Andrew Dale trained Kiwi-bred gelding has finished runner-up in four starts at the Albury 1600m. WHIRLWIND (4) and WARPAINTED (6) are among the chances.
