Gold Coast Racing Tips for Saturday, May 9th 2026

Ended

We have expert betting tips for racing at Gold Coast on Saturday, which includes nine races at the premier meeting.

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

Race 1. (12:33) Social Event Hire BM78 (1400m)

#7 - Daggers @ $2.20

BET NOW

Daggers had his chance to run down the winner last time out, but he should be fitter with two runs under his belt this prep.

The four-year-old son of I Am Invincible owns two wins and five placings from 12 starts, and it’s only the wide draw that’s against him.

If he gets cover, he could finish over the top of them.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (13:08) Gold Coast City Council BM85 (1200m)

#6 - Bundella @ $5.50

BET NOW

Winning form is with Bundella, who made it four consecutive wins at Eagle Farm last time out.

The five-year-old son of Deep Field owns seven wins from 16 starts, so the strike rate is impressive, and he could keep winning.

Look for him to settle handy and kick strongly.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:43) Tab Ken Russell Memorial Classic (1200m)

#6 - Berzelius @ $4.80

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Berzelius, who scored as an $11 chance on debut at Doomben.

The two-year-old colt by Extreme Choice showed a good turn-of-foot, and that’s a nice asset to have at this level.

We’re happy with the each-way odds available.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:18) Attwood Memorial Lawyers Silk Stocking (1400m)

#13 - Ten Deep @ $5.00

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Ten Deep, who only needs some cover from a wide draw to go close.

The five-year-old mare by Ten Sovereigns owns five wins and seven placings from 15 starts, and she could win her first start at Gold Coast.

Dropping to 53kg should be enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:53) Moet & Chandon Gold Coast Bracelet (1800m)

#1 - Single Red @ $2.90

BET NOW

Single Red is a top-class Kiwi raider, who ran third in the New Zealand Oaks before winning with ease at Te Rapa last time out.

The three-year-old filly by Vanbrugh looks set to make an impact during the Brisbane Winter Carnival, and she could win multiple races.

The $2.90 odds are worth including in horse racing multi bets.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 6. (15:32) XXXX Bat Out of Hell (1000m)

#3 - Steady Ready @ $12.00

BET NOW

Punters get value odds for Steady Ready, who is a proven fresh up winner, and he could hit the ground running this time in.

The six-year-old son of Better than Ready is also a past winner at Gold Coast, and he’s quick enough to win the short-course race.

Angela Jones is a classy rider and having her in the saddle helps.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:08) A.D. Hollindale Stakes (1800m)

#1 - Half Yours @ $3.70

BET NOW

The addition of Pride of Jenni makes things interesting, but her natural speed could help Half Yours in the run.

The Caulfield and Melbourne Cup winner will want a solid tempo to show his best form, and he hit the line well enough fresh up.

It’s a tough race to predict, but class could rise to the top.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:55) Brandons Electrical Gold Coast Guineas (1200m)

#2 - Beadman @ $3.30

BET NOW

Beadman showed his class when winning fresh up at Randwick before running behind Beskar and Tempted.

He’s good enough to turn that form around with a big effort, and the three-year-old colt gets James McDonald in the saddle.

He only needs some cover from the draw to go close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 9. (17:30) Australian Turf Club Trophy (1200m)

#5 - Midnight in Tokyo @ $5.00

BET NOW

Midnight in Tokyo owns seven wins and 13 placings from 32 starts, and she showed good speed last preparation with two wins.

The six-year-old mare loves soft track conditions, and getting barrier three should be enough to take her close.

She opened at $7, so she has been well-backed to score.

Stake: 1 Unit
