Warrnambool Racing Tips for Thursday, October 29th 2026

First race in 19h 34m

It might only be a low-key meeting at Warrnambool, but it’s Derby Week in Victoria, so there is excitement around the track. The eight-race card has some good betting fields, which is always the case at The Bool, and punters can line their pockets for a big week of racing.

Race 1. (15:00) Jericho Cup Packages Available Maiden Highweight (2000m)

#4 - Paramount War @ $2.45

BET NOW

Paramount War is better for two runs under his belt this preparation, including a second placing last time out at Warrnambool.

The four-year-old son of Impending is a five-time placegetter overall and two-time placegetter at the track, and this isn’t a strong field.

We expect him to be right around the mark.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (15:30) May Racing Carnival Now on Sale Highweight (1700m)

#1 - Heed the Omens @ $5.00

BET NOW

Carrying 70.5kg isn’t easy, but Heed the Omens is a strong type, and he’s good enough to handle this field.

The Symon Wilde-trained gelding is a two-time winner overall, but he likes soft tracks, so conditions should be ideal.

After three runs this prep and coming off a fourth, he should be right in the mix.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (16:00) The Midfield Group Emerging Stars Maiden (1400m)

#10 - Tuscan Rose @ $2.90

BET NOW

Shane Jackson lines up Tuscan Rose, who looked good when placing on debut at Warrnambool before settling for fifth last start.

The three-year-old filly has had a month off, and although beaten at $1.70 last start, she didn’t appreciate the sloppy conditions.

She gets a firmer track, and her form should improve.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (16:30) Michelin Service Centre Warrnambool Maiden (1000m)

#10 - Fammi @ $1.90

BET NOW

Fammi is on debut after two impressive jumpout wins, and he looks ready to run a big race.

The three-year-old son of Lucky Vega is in good hands with Tom Dabernig, and he’ll be well-educated for this run.

It could pay to follow the money on race day, but we’re confident.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (17:00) Cassign Emerging Stars Maiden (1200m)

#10 - Leona @ $2.50

BET NOW

Lucy Yeomans lines up Leona, who is having her second start following a debut placing at Warrnambool.

The five-year-old mare by Trapeze Artist has been patiently handled throughout her career, and that patience could pay off.

She only needs to find a good spot from barrier nine to go close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (17:30) S & S O'Keefe Bricklaying BM62 (1200m)

#5 - Pastoral King @ $4.00

BET NOW

Looking to remain unbeaten is Pastoral King, who scored impressively by two lengths on debut at Warrnambool.

That was a professional effort, and although there is more depth in this field, having experience at the track is a big positive.

Dean Yendall retains the ride, which is another positive.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (18:00) Sungold Milk BM62 (1000m)

#1 - Nordic Strike @ $5.50

BET NOW

Nordic Strike is taking his time to win another race, but he has been right around the mark throughout his career.

The four-year-old son of Anders owns two wins and six placings from 12 starts, and he’s a five-time placegetter over the distance.

3kg comes off his back, and that could be the winning difference.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (18:30) Tab BM62 (1400m)

#4 - Invisible Magic @ $3.80

BET NOW

Invisible Magic won well three back at Bendigo before adding two placings, and that’s a good form guide for this race.

The five-year-old mare by Per Incanto ran second at her only attempt at Warrnambool, and that’s another tick for her form.

Barrier four with a 3kg claimer riding adds to our confidence.

Stake: 1 Unit
