Grafton Racing Tips for Sunday, July 5th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Grafton on Sunday, which includes eight races at the weekend meeting.

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

Race 1. (11:45) Dougherty Property Maiden (1015m)

#8 – Cascading

BET NOW

Cascading finished fourth on debut at Gold Coast before spelling, and she could return with a big effort.

The two-year-old filly by Headwater scored a trial win at Sunshine Coast to prepare for this run, which is a good sign.

Look for a betting move on race day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (12:20) Grafton Gas & Plumbing Maiden (1720m)

#5 – Sheriff’s Star

BET NOW

Looking to cap off consecutive placings is Sheriff’s Star, who ran well for second at Grafton two starts back.

The four-year-old son of Zoustar is a seven-time placegetter from 17 starts, so he has been around the mark throughout his career.

Barrier four suits, and he should get a good run.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:00) McKimms Real Estate Guineas Prelude BM66 (1420m)

#5 – Russiantothepost

BET NOW

Russiantothepost showed speed in Queensland last preparation when scoring at Ipswich before placing at Sunshine Coast.

The three-year-old filly by Russian Revolution has been prepared with a soft trial run, and we expect money to come for her.

It’s an even field, so she is worth backing on an each-way basis.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (13:40) Maclean Hotel C3 (1115m)

#8 – Copperline

BET NOW

Copperline is shooting for three consecutive wins after scoring his last two at Scone.

The Scott Singleton-trained gelding won by a half-length against a good field last start, so that form should stack up nicely.

Barrier 12 makes it harder, but class is on her side.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (14:16) CJM Lawyers Grafton Cup Prelude (2230m)

#4 – Spenzalot

BET NOW

Spenzalot was too good for them last time out when scoring at Tamworth, and he is good enough to go back-to-back.

The four-year-old son of Casino Prince owns three wins and five placings from 17 starts, and getting in with 55kg helps.

Punters typically get each-way odds for him, so he’s worth backing.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (14:55) Grafton Sheetmetal John Carlton Cup (1190m)

#1 – My Mum’s Toyboy

BET NOW

Winning form is with My Mum’s Toyboy, who made it nine wins from 17 starts last time out.

The five-year-old owns six wins at Grafton, so he’s a course specialist, and his win at Port Macquarie last start came by 3.8 lengths.

He is a quality country type, and he should give punters a sight.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 7. (15:35) Herb Blanchard Haulage C1 (1215m)

#3 – Here’s Beau

BET NOW

Here’s Beau was too good for them against a small field last time out, and he should pay each-way odds on Sunday.

The four-year-old son of Worthy Cause paid $11 when scoring by 1.5 lengths, and that was a solid enough maiden win.

He’s worth including in picks at a price.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:15) Country Mud Here on South Cup C1 (1215m)

#7 – On My Command

BET NOW

On My Command has made a good start to her career with a win and three placings, and she could add to it on Sunday.

The four-year-old mare by Astern scored a win at Grafton on debut before adding a placing last month, and something close to that should be enough to go close.

3kg comes off her back to help, which is a bonus.

Stake: 1 Unit
