Horse Racing Tips — Saturday 20 June 2026
Eight at Randwick (Soft 6), six at Flemington, four at Ipswich, three at Morphettville and five at Belmont. Hello Captain (Randwick R4) is the banker with a 75% career win rate from the Waller/Rawiller combination. Two big plunges on the slate: Losesomewinmore Flemington R7 $8.00 → $4.00 and Sounds Unusual Randwick R6 $11.00 → $6.00. The C Maher stable has runners we like in four races (Duchess Zou, Saint George, Sunshineinmypocket, Navy Pilot). Heads-up: Sounds Unusual (Rand R6) is Em1 — needs one scratching to start.

🏇 Randwick — Soft (6)
Slight drift from $3.40 opening to $3.60 but still the market favourite. Form line of placings (292x42) and the Ready to Fire badge are the angle. Inside-ish gate (8). Each way at $1.62 the place.
Our Banker of the Day. Hello Captain is the Waller/Rawiller combination at $1.90 with a stunning 75% career strike rate (3 wins from 4 starts, plus a second). Form line 21x11 reads a 2nd, 1st, spell, then back-to-back wins on return. Inside barrier (1) and the Likes the Wet badge for a Soft (6) deck. Steady firming from $2.30 to $1.95 through the week. Top weight (60.5kg) is the only mild trade-off — everything else screams banker. The place at $1.20 is multi-leg territory.
EW value swing at $12.00 — no badges firing and top weight (61kg) the obvious knocks, but a $2.75 place return on a runner the bookmakers haven’t edged down through the week is the value play of the day for longer-odds punters. Treat as an EW swing.
Heads-up: Sounds Unusual is Emergency 1 — she needs one scratching to get a start. The market has smashed her from $11.00 to $6.00 despite the emergency status — four badges firing including Place Rate, Track Talent, Striking Distance and Likes the Wet. Waller stable with Tommy Berry. Check final field acceptance at scratching time before placing.
Maher/Rawiller pairing again — same combo as the R4 banker. Form line 5755x1 ends with a winning resumption. Same horse was a feature pick at Randwick R7 on 6 June. Each way at $1.80 the place.
Barrier 18 is brutal but form line 056331 ends with a 1st. One badge (In Form). EW play at $8.50 if you’re prepared to accept the wide gate.
Solid favourite to close the Randwick card — 50% career strike rate (3 wins from 6 starts). Top weight (60.5kg) the trade-off. Each way at $1.95 the place.
🏇 Flemington
Four badges including Proven Winner but drifting steadily from $4.40 open to $6.00 today — one to monitor. Form line 141161 ends with two wins and a sixth. Wide gate (13). Each way at $2.30 the place value play.
One badge (Likes the Wet) on a runner that opened $3.90 and drifted out. Freedman trained with Jamie Mott up. Light weight (56kg). Each way at $1.70 the place.
Five-badge Maher runner with a career 5-3-1 from 11 starts (45.45% win rate, 9 of 11 in the money). Form line 422011 reads two seconds, a 4th, two wins and a winning return. Wide barrier (15) the trade-off. Each way at $2.10 the place is the play on a runner with this profile.
The day’s biggest plunge. Losesomewinmore opened at $8.00 and has been smashed all the way down to $4.00 across the week — a $4 firm and a clear stable signal. Four badges firing including Proven Winner, Track Talent, Striking Distance and Ready to Fire. Form line 411x01 reads a 4th, two wins, spell, zero and a winning return. Wide gate (12) the only mild concern.
Maher trained with apprentice Johnstone claiming. Top weight (60.5kg) and no badges firing but the inside barrier (3) and the trainer factor are the angles. Form line 26114x ends with a spell return. Each way at $2.05 the place.
🏇 Ipswich
Hard firm from $3.40 to $2.40 through the week. Form line 5x2313 ends with a 3rd. Two badges including Likes the Wet. Wide barrier (13) the only concern. The place at $1.30 is multi-leg territory.
Two wins and a third from three runs at the track — 100% top-3 record. Form line 87x151 ends with a 5th and a 1st. Top weight (59.5kg) the trade-off. Each way at $2.38 the place.
Third Maher runner of the day. Track Talent badge from a single run at the track (a second). Form line 160x10 includes a spell return zero. Each way at $1.73 the place.
EW swing at long odds — no badges and drifting from $8.50 to $10.00. Top weight (59kg). Pure each-way value play.
🏇 Morphettville
Four badges and still the market favourite, but the steady drift from $2.80 to $3.90 and the wide barrier (18) are concerns. The place at $1.80 is the safer side given the trends.
Hard firm from $5.00 to $3.60 across the week — one badge but the market move is the angle. Form line 619551 ends with a 1st. Todd Pannell up. Each way at $1.62 the place.
Steady firmer from $4.50 to $3.90. Form line 227x41 reads a return 4th and 1st. Two badges including the wet-track angle. Each way at $1.73 the place.
🏇 Belmont
Light weight (55kg) with four badges to open the Belmont card. Form line 347x31 reads a 3rd, 4th, 7th, spell, 3rd and a winning return. Each way at $1.70 the place.
Inside gate (1) with four badges including Proven Winner. Form line 60x141 reads a 6th, zero, spell, 1st, 4th and 1st. Strong profile from the rail. Each way at $1.88 the place.
Inside gate (1) and light at 55.0kg. Three badges including the wet-track tick. Form line 13x421 ends with a winning return. Each way at $1.50 the place is multi-leg territory.
Belmont’s shortest-priced fav. Form line 11x112 reads two wins, spell, two more wins and a 2nd — four wins and a placing in the last five. Three badges, light weight (55kg), stable price all week. The place at $1.30 is bankable.
Closing pick. Three badges including Proven Winner and Ready to Fire on a resuming runner. Form line 133x0x reads two thirds, a 1st, spell, zero and another spell. Light weight (55kg). Each way at $1.95 the place.
