Geelong Racing Tips for Friday, July 31st 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. (12:05) Ladbrokes Hosted Pots Maiden (2400m)

#6 - Zikron @ $4.60

BET NOW

Zikron has two placings from four starts, and the five-year-old gelding by Sacred Falls won’t take much longer to win a race.

He ran second on debut before struggling in two subsequent runs, but his last-start second placing at Warrnambool is a good form guide.

A jumping career awaits, but a flat win could come first.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (12:40) Tract 2YO Maiden (1100m)

#8 - Autumn Lover @ $4.80

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Autumn Lover, who placed at Sale two back before running fourth at Sandown last time out.

The two-year-old filly by The Autumn Sun has been prepared with two trials, including a second placing at Caulfield last start.

Barrier 11 isn’t ideal, but she should go close with luck.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:15) Roderick Insurance Brokers Maiden (1100m)

#4 - Hank Honk @ $4.20

BET NOW

Looking to make a winning debut is Hank Honk, who has shown good speed at the jumpouts.

The two-year-old son of Hanseatic is a four-time jumpout winner, with three of those coming at Geelong, so the form checks out.

Barrier five is ideal, so follow the money coming for him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (13:50) Extreme Warrior at Rosemont Stud Maiden (1200m)

#8 - Royal Duck @ $1.95

BET NOW

Royal Duck opened at $3.10 before firming into $1.95, which is a sizable betting move for the favourite.

The four-year-old mare by Prince of Caviar ran second on debut at Bendigo when running a nose behind Stakes, who since raced last Saturday in town.

The form stacks up well, and the $1.95 could keep firming.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 5. (14:25) Geelong Taxi Network Maiden (1700m)

#12 - Only Opera @ $5.00

BET NOW

Henry Dwyer lines up Only Opera, who resumed with a third placing at Geelong, and improvement is expected.

The three-year-old filly by Castelvecchio should settle closer to the pace this time around after getting too far back last start.

Look for a more positive ride, and it could result in a win.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:00) Auswide Plumbing & Civil BM62 (1700m)

#2 - Omnic @ $5.00

BET NOW

Seeking three consecutive wins is Omnic, who won at Cranbourne in June before winning at Bendigo last time out.

The four-year-old son of Proisir owns three wins and nine placings from 22 starts, so he has been around the mark for most of his career.

Jabez Johnstone is riding well, and his claim could be enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (15:35) Times News Group BM62 (2400m)

#1 - Omamori @ $6.00

BET NOW

Omamori has been all around the mark without winning this preparation, and he deserves another chance.

The four-year-old son of Dundeel meets an even field here, and although drawn wide, he relishes wet tracks, so it could be the place to be.

3kg comes off his back, which helps with the allotted 61.5kg.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:15) Elegance Tiles Geelong BM56 (1200m)

#7 - I Said So @ $3.50

BET NOW

Wendy Kelly lines up I Said So, who ran well for second at Bairnsdale last time out, and he could go one better on Friday.

The four-year-old son of I Am Immortal owns a win and four placings from nine starts, so consistency has been in her favour.

Her odds have firmed, so it could pay to follow betting moves.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 9. (16:55) Geelong Cup on Sale Now BM56 (1200m)

#1 - Ania @ $8.50

BET NOW

The four-year-old mare by Impending looked good when winning back-to-back races earlier this prep at Mornington, and that form could return.

She hasn’t been far away since, including a second placing at Sale last time out, which is a tidy form guide for this race.

3kg comes off to help with the 64kg, so she should run better than the odds suggest.

Stake: 1 Unit
