Mildura Racing Tips for Friday, July 17th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Mildura on Friday, which includes eight races at the quality meeting.

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

Race 1. (12:20) John Salisbury 11 Maiden (1400m)

#5 – Mike's Hope @ $2.30

Lindsay Park lines up Mike’s Hope for his second campaign, and he showed enough in two starts last time in work.

The three-year-old son of Alabama Express ran third on debut before running fourth at Cranbourne, and those are good form guides.

We expect a tidy effort fresh up, as the odds suggest.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (12:55) Mildura Motor Holdings Maiden (2000m)

#2 – Barossa Valley @ $6.50

BET NOW

The favourite will be tough to beat, but punters get better value for Barossa Valley at $6.50.

The Ciaron Maher-trained gelding has improved recently after posting placings at Ballarat Synthetic, and coming back to a grass surface won’t worry him.

John Allen riding helps, so take the generous odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:30) Sunraysia Daily Maiden (1200m)

#2 – Just Like Jagger @ $2.25

BET NOW

Looking to go one better than his second placing on debut is Just Like Jagger, who wasn’t far off Bold Secret, who runs at Morphettville on Saturday.

The four-year-old son of Impending has been patiently handled throughout his career, and that patience could pay off.

His odds have been slashed, so follow the money.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (14:05) Mildura Gateway Tavern BM66 (1200m)

#1 – Bad Blood @ $1.70

BET NOW

We’re prepared to take the short odds for Bad Blood, who has yet to taste defeat in two runs.

The three-year-old son of Dirty Work won at Stawell on debut before winning by 2.8 lengths at Ballarat Synthetic last time out.

It’s great form for this race, so include him in horse racing multis.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 5. (14:40) Trentham Estate Golden Goblet BM70 (1000m)

#5 – Bine @ $6.50

BET NOW

Bine isn’t an easy runner to follow, but we’re giving her another chance based on her fresh up effort for second.

The Tom Dabernig-trained mare is a six-time winner overall, so the class is there, and she should appreciate this race following runs at Sandown and Caulfield.

Linda Meech riding should help her, so include at each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:15) AJ & JJ Dunne Memorial BM70 (2000m)

#7 – Pariah Pearl @ $4.40

BET NOW

Pariah Pearl is desperate to face slightly easier opposition, and she gets her chance to improve on Friday.

The five-year-old mare by Pierro looked better last start when running fourth at Sandown, and natural improvement takes her close here.

Soft conditions are ideal, so she gets one last chance.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (15:50) Bet365 Mildura Cup (1400m)

#1 – Run Harry Run @ $3.90

BET NOW

Class is with Run Harry Run, who took on some tough types last prep, including running behind King of Rousseau and Zou Sensation.

That’s top form for this level of racing, and the five-year-old gelding has looked mightily impressive at the recent jumpouts.

Punters should expect a nice effort in the feature race.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (16:30) The Jade Benham BM66 (1400m)

#10 – In Her Stride @ $18.00

BET NOW

We’re taking the big odds for In Her Stride, who didn’t fire at Sale last time out, but he’s capable of bouncing back to form.

She ran third at Seymour two starts ago, which was a fair effort, and she has one win from two attempts at Mildura, so she likes it here.

Barrier four is ideal, so she’s worth the risk.

Stake: 1 Unit
