Grafton Racing Tips for Tuesday, October 13th 2026

First race in 21h 12m

It’s a short and snappy meeting at Grafton on Tuesday, with only six races scheduled. Grafton is always a favourite place to bet for punters seeking value odds, and it’s a good mix of well-backed favourites and value bets this week. A Soft 5 surface is expected, which should play into the hands of most runners.

Race 1. (14:25) Graftontickets Maiden (1700m)

#8 - So Fortunate @ $2.00

BET NOW

Kris Lees lines up So Fortunate, who comes off a third placing at Port Macquarie, which is a good form guide for this race.

The three-year-old filly by So You Think will only improve with racing under her belt, and being from the Lees stable helps.

55kg on her back is enough to take her close.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (15:05) Book a Christmas Party C3 (1000m)

#4 - Jade Trees @ $3.60

BET NOW

Looking to get back to winning form is Jade Trees, who scored two wins at Coffs Harbour to kick-start this preparation.

The five-year-old son of Alabama Express ran sixth at Lismore last time out, but he’s good enough to bounce back to form.

1.5kg comes off his back, and money has come for him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (15:40) CRJC AGM 25 November BM58 (2200m)

#7 - Woodland Wonder @ $4.40

BET NOW

Looking to cap off consecutive placings is Woodland Wonder, who placed at Grafton on both occasions.

The six-year-old gelding by Top Echelon is only a two-time winner, but both of those wins have come at this track, so that’s ideal.

It’s an even field, and he should give punters a sight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (16:15) CRJC Christmas Race Day 29 November Maiden (1400m)

#8 - Who Loves a Harley @ $5.00

BET NOW

Who Love a Harley is nearing a maiden win after back-to-back placings at Grafton and Coffs Harbour.

The four-year-old son of Ilovethiscity gets every chance from barrier two, and punters get each-way odds.

There is a short favourite, but he’s good enough to put this field away.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (16:50) Team Aidan Markets C1 (1400m)

#1 - Referees @ $6.00

BET NOW

Backing Referees could be the right call on Tuesday, and he’s getting close to posting another win.

The five-year-old son of Impending owns a win and four placings from eight starts, and getting 1.5kg off his back is enough to take him close.

Barrier 15 isn’t ideal, but he has enough speed to cross and sit handy to the speed.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (17:30) The Kosciuszko 17 October BM58 (1175m)

#9 - Ever So Ready @ $3.00

BET NOW

Looking for back-to-back wins is Ever So Ready, who dug deep to score by a half-length last time out.

The three-year-old son of Better than Ready owns two wins and two placings from seven starts, including a win at this track.

$3 is a fair price for the favourite, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
