Mitch Cohen, Shayne O'Cass Randwick tips: July 12, 2025
Don't miss out on the headlines from Opinion. Followed categories will be added to My News. Mitch Cohen and Shayne O'Cass debate all the key chances at Royal Randwick on Saturday. IT'S A KNOCKOUT (Race 9 No.10) is Mitch's best bet of the day, while Shayno is pinning his hopes on the Jason Coyle-trained LULUMON (Race 7 No.3). • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Shayno: Hello Mitchy. Looks like a perfect track coming up at HQ on Saturday with some sunny skies and a bit of wind. Who am I? Alan Wilkie! But anyway, no excuses this end if my horses get beaten. Mitch: You were around for Alan's first broadcast weren't you Shayno? You are right. It's been a beautiful winter week in Sydney. I want to start in race 9 this week because that's where my best bet is. It's A Knockout was ultra impressive first-up and I am sticking with her. She is a stakes quality mare every day of the week. • 'Ridiculous': Top jockeys demand action over vests Shayno: It is a good race. I was keen on Razors first-up but they were a bit too sharp for him (pardon the pun). The only time he has been to this track and trip, he was beaten narrowly in the South Pacific on QE2 day at the Championships. Mitch: Will we see another Raging Force this week? I am tipping not but the two-year-old race is a competitive event all the same. I've gone the way of Crossbow. He did more than enough first-up over 1250m when narrowly pipped by Central Coast. Shayno: I love all those 'K' horses that Waller trains for Messrs Morgan and Devine. They might have another 'Special K here in Kokatahi, the son of Farnan. He was third to Central Coast on debut and we all know how good he is. • ATC chairman resigns after Rosehill sale 'lost opportunity' Mitch: Piggyback is a mare I've got a bit of time for. She was unlucky not to win last start but can pay me back. Expecting her to edge out a golfer and a tennis player – that's Hovland and Federer. Shayno: With Wimbledon on at the moment Mitchy how apt that Federer wins on Saturday? He is by Dundeel out of Jameka so every little metre added will help bring out his best IMHO. Mitch: If I was to have a second best bet, it would have to come in the Midway on Callistemon. A winner this track and trip last start with a perfect draw again. The extra 2kg doesn't worry me. • Schiller awaits all-clear to return from injury Shayno: My best is Lulumon. Talk about strong form-lines; she beat Storm The Ramparts and Hi Dubai last start! Mitch: Got her on top too Shayno so glad we agree on something. Just one value play to add in race 6, Morning Sun could do something fresh.

Randwick Turf Talk for Saturday: ‘I really can't believe the price'

SUBSCRIBE NOW! ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Shayno: In the words of The Seekers Mitchy, the Carnival of Over – the Championships, that is – but there are so many horses racing tomorrow that have Hawkesbury/Scone and Brisbane written all over them. Get out the Black Book. Mitch: Wide betting card this week Shayno. I am tipping if we can find 2-3 winners on the card, we are coming out in profit land. Shayno: My pre-emptive Black Booker is Automne Tree. He's by The Autumn Sun from the same family as Gold Trip. Going to need luck to make the cut as an emergency but look out if he does. Mitch: You'll need a few scratchings yet but if the rain arrives you might just get them. I found that to be one of the harder races on the card. I landed on Yankee One. She's a mare in form from the form yard in the country with a draw that suits. • What's in a name? Plenty of history … and unwanted pressure Shayno: You'd be happy to have a share in pretty much any of those 2YOs in the first race. I know it's hard to beat race-experienced horses on debut but I love the trials of Tyrone's Power, more so after the form has been franked lately. Mitch: I reckon Hidden Motive is one of the better bets on the program. We went down to a smart one the other day in Aerodrome but they gapped the rest by five. Tipping they are both pretty smart and it will be his day on Saturday. • 'It's a sad day': Multiple Group 1-winner Happy Clapper dies Shayno: I've got the great man David Payne pencilled in for a big day. State Of America can trump his rivals again whilst Trafalgar Square is the best weighted horse on the day on a kilo to talent ratio. Mitch: I really can't believe the price of State Of America. He's beaten both Saganti and Flying Bandit over the past six months and yet he's double the price. All three are nice horses but surely the market has got it wrong. • Gosford track facing crucial Friday 'dress rehearsal' ahead of The Coast meeting Shayno: The Precise Air (race eight) is the feature for mine. Great race. I have been tracking Punch Lane since he got here and his runs have been good then better again. He peaks here hopefully. Mitch: Major Beel first-up from a good draw off a couple of decent trials looks ready to run a race fresh for mine. As for my best? Save it for the last. The Country Championships winner Know Thyself can win again. Originally published as Randwick Turf Talk for Saturday: 'I really can't believe the price'
