Kembla Grange Racing Tips for Thursday, July 16th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Kembla Grange on Thursday, which includes eight races at the quality 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. (12:05) Greenway Turf Solutions Maiden (1000m)

#5 – Viva Macaco @ $2.80

Viva Macaco ran well enough for second on debut at Hawkesbury at $10 odds, and we’re not surprised by shorter odds this time around.

The two-year-old colt by Bivouac has plenty of improvement to come, and although it’s a tricky field, he’s the worthy favourite.

Barrier three is ideal, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (12:40) Collappor8 Accounting Maiden (1300m)

#1 – Peace Bird @ $2.90

BET NOW

Peace Bird is nearing a win after three consecutive placings, and she gets another good chance to break through.

The three-year-old filly by Hellbent owns four placings from seven starts overall, and money has come for her since markets opened.

The track should suit her running style, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:15) MMJ Wollongong Maiden (1600m)

#3 – Copartner Pegasus @ $6.50

BET NOW

The four-year-old gelding is getting close to posting a win after three consecutive placings, and the odds are generous.

He ran second at Wyong three back before placing at Illawarra and Gosford, and those runs are good enough form guides.

We recommend taking the each-way odds in an even field.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (13:55) TBC Distribution Midway Maiden (1200m)

#4 – Santarno @ $5.50

BET NOW

Looking to make a winning debut is Santarno, who cost $180,000 at the sales, and he showed promise when winning a trial.

The three-year-old son of Satano Aladdin has drifted in betting markets after opening at $5, but it’s not overly concerning.

Money could come on race day, so snap up the price.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:35) Black Aly Window Tinting C1 (1300m)

#5 – Call Me Sassy @ $3.90

BET NOW

Call Me Sassy didn’t fire at Hawkesbury last time out, but she is good enough to bounce back from that performance.

The four-year-old mare by Zoustar looked good prior to that when posting four consecutive placings, and something close to that is good enough.

She deserves another win, and this field is there for the taking.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:10) Site Drop C1 (1600m)

#2 – Cheval De Bois @ $3.60

BET NOW

Getting close to another win is Cheval De Bois, who ran second in heavy conditions at Randwick last time out.

The three-year-old son of Redwood was only a narrow margin behind Ballpark, which should be a tidy form guide for this contest.

Money has come for him, so take the current odds before he keeps firming.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (15:50) Cactus Imaging BM64 (1000m)

#1 – Century Song @ $3.60

BET NOW

Century Song hasn’t fired at his last two starts in town, but his form at Kembla Grange is much better.

The four-year-old son of Microphone owns two wins and four placings from seven attempts here, and he loves running in soft conditions.

62kg makes it tough, but class should take him close.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (16:25) Hotel Totto BM68 (1200m)

#6 – Donwon @ $19.00

BET NOW

Donwon could offer punters with some value at big odds, and he showed speed to place at Kembla Grange earlier this prep.

The four-year-old son of Magna Grecia is a two-time placegetter at the track, and he’s paying around $4 to place, which is a good price.

Include him in picks at value odds.

Stake: 1 Unit
