Lismore Racing Tips for Friday, September 25th 2026

First race in 19h 16m

It’s Lismore Cup Day, and punters get an eight-race card of provincial action to enjoy before a big weekend of sport and racing. There are some future Highway Handicap horses running at the Lismore meeting, and the Soft 5 track should play fairly for all runners.

Race 1. (12:39) Basec Engineering Maiden (1526m)

#2 - Sarmat @ $2.30

BET NOW

The four-year-old son of Smart Missile ran well on debut when placing at Grafton before finishing fourth last time out.

He finished three lengths behind the winner last time out, but he battled gamely to the line, and he’ll be better for the run.

After opening at $2.70, money has come for him, which isn’t surprising.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:14) XXXX Gold BM66 (2110m)

#7 - All About Artie @ $5.00

BET NOW

All About Artie could provide punters with a sight on Friday, and there isn’t much to beat in this field.

The six-year-old son of Flying Artie is only a one-time winner from 21 starts, but he has nine placings, so he’s never too far away.

We have him running in the top three, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:49) Somerville Laundry Lomax BM58 (1310m)

#1 - Barello @ $4.80

BET NOW

Barello has been a good bet this preparation, including a win two back at Casino and a placing at Coffs Harbour last start.

The six-year-old son of Xtravagant is a four-time winner from 20 starts, so the strike rate is solid, and he could add another win.

4kg comes off his back to help with the big weight, which is a bonus.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:24) Lismore Workers Club C3 (1410m)

#2 - Jade Trees @ $3.10

BET NOW

Gunning for three consecutive wins is Jade Trees, who looked good when winning at Coffs Harbour.

The five-year-old son of Alabama Express owns three wins and three placings from eight starts, which is a fine record.

1.5kg comes off his back, and he should run well again.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (14:59) O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Maiden (1210m)

#11 - Yotei @ $3.10

BET NOW

Robert Heathcote lines up Yotei, who ran well for second at Ipswich last time out, which is a good form guide.

The three-year-old son of Cosmic Force was only a length behind the winner, and we expect that form to hold up nicely at this level.

After opening at $3.50, money has come for him, and it could continue to come.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:34) Southside Hot Bread C1 (1210m)

#5 - Profiteur’s Fil @ $1.95

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Profiteur’s Fil, who broke maidens with a 1.5-length win at Lismore.

The three-year-old son of Profiteer opened at $2.20 before shortening to $1.95, and that’s a good betting move for the favourite.

Barrier four is ideal, so he’ll get a good run in transit.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (16:14) Rodney Lees Cabinetmaking Lismore Cup (1526m)

#6 - Gorbachev @ $5.00

BET NOW

It’s an open Lismore Cup field, and we’re picking Gorbachev to win at each-way odds.

The Matthew Dunn-trained gelding owns five wins and four placings from 15 starts, and his second placing at Eagle Farm last start was a good effort.

Carrying 54.5kg should be enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:54) Oaten’s Untamed Sprint (1210m)

#7 - Cindersea @ $2.25

BET NOW

Cindersea is a good bet in the last race on the card, and she looks ready to win another race after placing at Doomben fresh up.

The five-year-old mare by Deep Field owns four wins and five placings from 12 starts, and she has form on soft track conditions.

Dropping to 55kg is ideal, so she is a good bet.

Stake: 2 Units
