Saturday Racing Tips - Randwick Racecourse 08/02/25

As summer begins to make the turn to autumn, the stakes continue to rise across Australian racing and this should be another bumper Saturday at Randwick.

Each of the 10 contests on the card promises plenty of drama and  OnlyRacing are actively seeking out the very best bets of the day.

(Note: Odds provided by Picklebet)

Selections:
6. Oh Diamond Lil - $2.20
4. Piraeus - $5.00
7. Irish Bliss - $8.00

BEST BET - Oh Diamond Lil - $2.20
Following some excellent performances at Rosehill Gardens in recent outings, Oh Diamond Lil arrives here at Randwick in great form. This is the ideal trip over 1600m and it is the one to catch.

THE DANGER - Piraeus - $5.00
There are plenty of merits for Piraeus too, a horse that has looked the part in most outings this season and who should be bang in the mix in this one. It drops down to 1600m here and that could be the ideal distance.

VALUE BET - Irish Bliss - $8.00
Kiwi flyer Irish Bliss has been there or thereabouts in most of its recent outings and this is another chance to compete at a good level. It will need to break new ground to win but looks more than capable.

Selections:
9. Point And Shoot - $2.50
13. Puntin - $3.40
15. Cosmic Lad - $11.00

BEST BET - Point And Shoot - $2.50
The Bjorn Baker/Tim Clark combination looks as if it could hit all the right notes here, as Point And Shoot chases a second win on the spin. This should be the ideal trip and it comes here full of confidence.

THE DANGER - Puntin - $3.40
Stablemate Puntin has hit the ground running, winning all three of its career outings thus far and it looks to have a very exciting future ahead. A test beckons in this one but Puntin has ticked all the boxes so far.

VALUE BET - Cosmic Lad - $11.00
While this one does have the look of a two-horse race, Cosmic Lad will be hoping to make its mark in this one. Form has been patchy but this horse knows its way round this Randwick track and won't be too far away.

Selections:
2. Gatsby's - $3.00
1. Linebacker - $4.50
10. Snow In May - $8.00

BEST BET - Gatsby's - $3.00
Chris Waller and James McDonald team up again here with Gatsby's and this looks to be the perfect type of contest for it to return in. It has been out of action for a while but should be a front runner here.

THE DANGER - Linebacker - $4.50
Similarly, Kiwi superstar Linebacker has been off the track for a few months and will be tested to the limit on returning to action here. Conditions should suit, it is more a question of fitness and form.

VALUE BET - Snow In May - $8.00
With a good 3rd placing on the card here at Randwick last time out, Snow In May should pose a threat in this one. It too hasn't been seen on the track for 5 months but it has been showing up well in trial outings lately.
