Geelong Racing Tips for Friday, July 10th 2026

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. (12:30) Ladbrokes Owners Promotion Maiden (1443m)

#6 – Mission of Joy @ $2.45

Mission of Joy had good betting support last start at Bendigo when running fourth, and although disappointing, she gets another chance.

The three-year-old filly by Per Incanto should be fitter for the run under her belt, and we’re not surprised by the shortening odds.

It won’t take her long to win a race.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:00) Iqumulate Premium Funding Maiden (1443m)

#6 – Mordu @ $5.00

BET NOW

Mordu is getting close to posting a win after consecutive placings, and he ran well at $2 odds last time out at Wodonga.

The three-year-old gelding by Nicconi handles heavy tracks, which helps in these conditions, and he only needs to cope with a wide barrier.

The each-way odds make him a worthwhile inclusion.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:30) Aviso Integral Insurance Maiden (1243m)

#6 – Kandinsky @ $3.30

BET NOW

Kandinsky isn’t far off producing a winning effort for the Price/Kent stable following placings at Seymour and Bendigo.

The three-year-old son of Time Test didn’t win as a $1.60 chance last start, but punters get much better odds this time around.

That helps, and we’re happy to include him at the price.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (14:00) Steadfast Life BM64 (1243m)

#5 – Yuki @ $5.50

BET NOW

Yuki showed toughness when winning on debut at Ballarat, and he’s greeted with similar conditions on Friday.

The three-year-old son of Frosted scored by 1.5 lengths, and he looks set to handle the rise through the grades now.

Punters get each-way odds in an even betting field, which are worth taking.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:30) McLardy McShane BM56 (2465m)

#3 – Thurmond @ $8.00

BET NOW

It’s not easy to back Thurmond on a consistent basis, but we’re giving him one more chance this preparation.

The five-year-old son of Nathaniel owns three wins and four placings from 15 starts, with two of those wins coming on heavy ground.

The $8 odds are good enough to include him as a value pick.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:00) Eclipse Insurance BM56 (1760m)

#2 – Contours @ $5.00

BET NOW

Contours shapes as a good winning hope following a victory at Ballarat, and he has a top chance of going back-to-back.

The three-year-old had betting support when breaking through on the synthetic surface last start, and he can handle being back on grass.

1.5kg comes off his back, and every little bit helps.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (15:30) The Jai Roderick Memorial BM56 (1760m)

#2 – Albanian I Am @ $4.50

BET NOW

Albanian I Am is a tough runner to follow, having scored only three wins from 42 starts, but we’re not shocked by the shortening odds.

He is a much better horse than BM56 grade, and although he has consistently dropped in grade without success, he should go well against this field.

It’s last chance saloon for him, and the odds are generous enough to take.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:00) Ethos Building & Restoration BM62 (1243m)

#2 – Prestar @ $3.30

BET NOW

Punters should stick with Prestar, who is nearing a win after consecutive placings, and he doesn’t always get the best luck.

The three-year-old son of Zoustar is a two-time winner from 11 starts, with both wins coming on a heavy surface.

He needs luck from out wide, but his chances of winning are high.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 9. (16:30) Miramar Group BM56 (1443m)

#2 – Miss Castelvecchio @ $5.50

BET NOW

Miss Castelvecchio ran well enough for fourth fresh up at Moe, and having a run in heavy conditions should have her fit for this race.

The four-year-old mare gets some weight off her back to help with the big impost, and that is a bonus in heavy conditions.

The odds are generous enough to include her in horse racing picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
