NRL Grand Final Week: Ruthless Roosters + Defending the Castle

• Oscar Pannifex
Sam Walker’s much-anticipated return paid immediate dividends for Easts last week but he wasn’t the difference in a big win over Redcliffe.   While Walker’s presence allows the Roosters to ask far more questions on the edges, Easts best work on Friday night came between the tramlines through Reece Robson and Victor Radley.   Three tries straight through the front door – Radley & Lindsay Collins one-off the ruck and then Walker himself straight off the left foot – exposed the Dolphins defensive issues and highlighted a strength for the Chooks heading into this weekend. Their middle forward rotation is flying right now and if they…

The Grand Final of Inevitabilities: The Unkillable Lions 

• GuyWhoLikesSport
The Brisbane v Fremantle Grand Final is the best Grand Final I remember, since at least 2012. But in a peculiar way, it’s also the one that ended most like it should have. This was a game where the two clubs, beyond just the players on the park, reverted to who they are.   Brisbane is a winning club, content with villainy because it comes with excellence. Fremantle are losers. They’re serial victims. Even when they’re great, they lose.  Football clubs have DNA that you can’t flip unless a true black swan event happens, like it did for Carlton with the salary cap scandal in 2002.   Ask St Kilda fans what…

Manikato Stakes Day Best Bets – Sunday, September 27 

• Craig Sheppard
Let’s end the weekend on the right note at Caulfield, where we’ve found a few key runners and strong betting opportunities across Sunday’s massive Manikato Stakes Day card. OVER THE BRIDGE (5) impressed on debut last start with a win over 1100m at Bendigo.  The Ciaron Maher-trained filly landed in a nice position before letting down powerfully to easily put her rivals away by two lengths with a further three lengths to third.  She clocked the quickest closing sectionals of the day despite coasting late which suggests she’s very good and capable of making the massive jump in class. She’ll…

Rosehill & Toowoomba Best Bets – Saturday, September 26

• Craig Sheppard
Get our Rosehill and Toowoomba best bets for Saturday September 26, including key runners, race analysis and betting opportunities across both meetings. LAZZURA (1) showed she was in good order when resuming in the Group 2 Sheraco Stakes, closing strongly to grab third, beaten just over half a length. The Chris Waller-trained mare has a strong record second-up, winning three of her five attempts, and should take plenty of benefit from that first-up run. The 1400m looks ideal. She won the Group 2 Let’s Elope Stakes at the distance when second-up two preparations ago, and the set-weight conditions also work…

2026 Golden Rose Day Tips & Preview

• Ryan Cook
The Golden Rose is arguably the biggest and most anticipated three-year-old race on the calendar each year, and it’s only fitting that it should highlight a quality 10-race program at Rosehill this Saturday. This year’s $1 million Golden Rose includes Golden Slipper winner Guest House and last start Run to the Rose winner Warwoven, adding further intrigue to a stacked day of black-type racing that also features the Group 2 Shannon Stakes and the Golden Pendant. Keep an eye on the weather with some showers around earlier in the week, but we could be racing in the Good range come…
