Geelong Racing Tips for Friday, August 28th 2026Ended

We have expert betting tips for racing at Geelong on Friday, which includes nine races at the quality meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the Victorian meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.  

Race 1. (12:25) Ladbrokes Switch Maiden (2470m)

#3 - Gaelic Kiwi @ $3.10

BET NOW

Gaelic Kiwi has been all around the mark throughout his career, including four placings from 10 starts.

The four-year-old son of Shalaa came second last time out at Geelong in heavy conditions, which is a good form guide for this race.

The inside draw is ideal, and he should be right in the mix  

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:00) Neon Legal Maiden (1547m)

#1 - Diesel Diamond @ $5.00

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Diesel Diamond, who has improved with every start throughout his career.

The five-year-old son of Puissance de Lune is bred to enjoy a few runs under her belt, and her fourth at Geelong last time out was a solid effort.

Barrier four is ideal, and Damian Lane riding is a bonus.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:35) Gary Coffee Maiden (1147m)

#9 - Over Excited @ $2.35

BET NOW

Big bets have come for Over Excited to win on debut, and it’s hard to look away from the money.

The three-year-old filly opened at $7 before firming into her current quote, and she has looked good at the jumpouts.

Barrier 13 isn’t ideal, but Blake Shinn rides, which adds to her chances of winning.

Stake: 2 Unit

Race 4. (14:10) Prestige Jayco Maiden (1347m)

#2 - Zendarina @ $5.50

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Zendarina, who finished second on debut at Moe in heavy conditions.

The four-year-old mare by Trapeze Artist finished four lengths behind the winner, but there was a big gap to third, so it was a good run.

Barrier two is ideal, and she’s worth including in horse racing picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:45) Centra Hotel Handicap (1247m)

#3 - Think I'm Divine @ $4.50

BET NOW

We’re taking the each-way odds for Think I’m Divine, who is steadily improving this preparation after posting consecutive placings.

The seven-year-old son of Divine Prophet is only a one-time winner from 25 starts, but it’s only a matter of time before he wins again.

This is an ideal target, so he should give punters a sight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:20) TMC Industries BM62 (1147m)

#4 - Nordic Strike @ $4.00

BET NOW

Most of the early money has come for Nordic Strike, who didn’t fire at Caulfield last time out, but that came against a stronger field.

The four-year-old son of Anders owns two wins and four placing from 10 starts, so he doesn’t often run a bad race.

That’s a good sign, and his best form should return on Friday.  

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (15:55) Connect Tel BM62 (1347m)

#5 - In'Kantosstar @ $2.60

BET NOW

In’Kantosstar won well at Ballarat Synthetic last time out at skinny odds, and he could bring that form to the grass tracks.

The four-year-old son of Per Incanto won by 2.8 lengths as a $1.24 chance, so punters get much better odds this time around.

Barrier two is ideal, and he could rise through the grades nicely.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 8. (16:35) Nesbitt Constructions BM62 (1547m)

#8 - Kastun Star @ $16.00

BET NOW

Jason Warren lines up Kastun Star, who could run better than his recent form suggests, so stick with him.

The five-year-old son of Starcraft owns a win and four placings from 10 starts, so his overall record is solid, and it’s good enough to win this race.

The $16 makes him worth the risk.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (17:15) Geelong Cup on Sale Now BM62 (1765m)

#7 - Kiwi Jenni @ $5.50

BET NOW

Kiwi Jenni runs well in wet conditions, and she should be tough to beat against this field.

The four-year-old mare by Trapeze Artist looked good when winning at Seymour earlier this preparation, and something close to that is good enough.

The each-way odds are juicy, so include her in horse racing picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
