We have Tramway Stakes tips and predictions<\/strong> for the Group 2 1400m race at Randwick on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tramway Stakes odds <\/strong><\/a>have Idle Flyer and Private Eye picked to win, but there could be a minor upset in the co-feature race.<\/p>\n\n\n

No. 1 Headley Grange <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

HEADLEY GRANGE (1)<\/strong>\u00a0could be the forgotten runner of the Tramway Stakes<\/a>, and his class could be enough to win.<\/p>\n

The 6YO gelding won at Group 1 level two starts ago before struggling in the Stradbroke Handicap<\/a>, but we\u2019re prepared to forgive that effort after a long autumn and winter campaign.<\/p>\n

We expect him to return from a spell ready to fire, and his fresh form reads well. He has had five fresh-up starts for three wins and a placing, so we can\u2019t understand why he\u2019s not battling for favouritism with Tramway Stakes odds.<\/p>\n

He has the inside draw to work with, which helps over 1400m, and he doesn\u2019t need time to get going. He\u2019ll be ready to run a bad race for Joe Pride, and the stable star should run better than the $5.50 suggests.<\/p>\n

No. 5 Private Eye <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

PRIVATE EYE (8)<\/strong>\u00a0looks a very strong chance in the 2026 Tramway Stakes, and it\u2019s easy to understand why punters are showing plenty of interest.<\/p>\n

The gelding has already earned more than $12 million, and his latest second behind Cosmic Crusader at Caulfield is a good form guide. That performance has since been backed up in Melbourne, and the trip to Sydney should hold no concerns.<\/p>\n

Randwick is a track where Private Eye has performed consistently well, with three wins and seven placings.<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see him attract enough support to challenge for favouritism. He is always well-backed to win, and his record alone makes him a standout bet, so include him in Tramway Stakes predictions.<\/p>\n

No. 4 El Castello <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n

Stranger things have happened on a race track, although\u00a0EL CASTELLO (7)<\/strong> beating this field would be right up there.<\/p>\n

However, we see him as a solid place and first-four bet at the odds. He is better than his form suggests, and although his two runs in the autumn were poor, he has always shown his best form in the spring.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe that he has had only 14 starts. He has four wins and two placings, and he looked like a potential top liner early in his career. That hasn\u2019t materialised, but he\u2019s still an upset chance in a fresh state.<\/p>\n
