Albion Park Harness Preview – Tuesday 27th October

• Ladbrokes Team
Tuesday night at The Creek brings nine races to unpack, with Oli Cownie sorting through the form to find his best chances and plays. DESIRING DIAMONDS (2) looks well handicapped in this race starting off just 10 metres having not been beaten too far in her latest start behind Raffie Jay in the Springboard Final. She has trialled well ahead of her return and should be hard to beat.   ICONIC IMAGE (5) faces a big handicap in this race but does have the advantage over one of his key rivals in FREDIDRIVSAMERCURY (6). He sat behind the leader and wasn’t…

Check out our Daily Greyhound Tips for Tuesday October 27th below, including our Bulli Best Bets! Truth Be Told has the fastest time in the field with a sharp 22.63 at Bulli, although his recent form of 52 suggests he still has plenty to prove. Midnight Aztec has a 22.67 best and could feature if he finds his earlier speed, while Lethal Spark has limited race experience but will be looking to improve after finishing sixth in a Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase Maiden heat and third at The Gardens in her first two outings. Lethal Spark has scope to make…

Scroll down for our Tuesday Racing Tips on October 27th, including our Hawkesbury best bets! Water City is second up and open to improvement today at Hawkesbury. The Chris Waller-trained filly has only made one appearance at the races so far but worked home well to finish third, beaten a length and a half here. With improvement expected from that experience, she can begin her journey through the grades today. Markos Port strikes a winnable race today at Hawkesbury. While yet to win in three appearances since debuting, Markos Point has been competitive to place at all three starts. He…

Hamilton Harness Preview – Monday, October 26

• Ladbrokes Team
Craig Rale has done the form and has your tips, strategy and quaddie for Monday’s meeting at Hamilton. OVERVIEW: KEAYANG MINNESOTA (5) commenced from the handicap of 30m, made a mid-race move to find the lead and scored comfortably at Terang seven days ago. This is a field of very similar standard and she is clearly the horse to beat. WHISKEY DAWN (6) broke at start and worked into a distant fourth in the Swan Hill Cup last outing. She hasn’t finished further back than fourth at her past six starts and should run her usual honest race. HAPPY ESCAPE…

Check out our Sunday Greyhound Tips for October 25th below, featuring our Richmond best bets. SPRING VELVET (5) impressed over this course and distance last start, winning by 7.75 lengths in 22.56, the best time of the night. The Joshua Board-trained bitch has won her past two starts and is chasing a third straight victory. She clocked a sharp 6.63 first split last start, showing the early pace to overcome a squeeze box. If she reproduces that jump from box 5, she can get clear early and complete the hat-trick. KAROLINE BANNER (2) has been racing consistently and won over…

Check out our Daily Racing Tips for Sunday October 25th below, including Sale best bets and 2026 Sale Cup tips! FEHMARN (1) is in great form this preparation, winning two of his past three starts, including last start at Cranbourne. The Rebecca Waymouth-trained gelding has won three of four over 1000m and two of three on heavy tracks. He should appreciate the return to his preferred distance and handles rain-affected going well. He maps to lead and can take plenty of catching. TEN COMMANDMENTS (5) should appreciate returning to a mile after finishing fifth over 1400m at Flemington last start,…

Ladbrokes’ Daily NBA Tips & Player Predictions cover the biggest matchups throughout the 2026/27 season, with expert insights, game analysis and betting previews across the key markets. The Knicks should be eager to respond after losing their season opener to the Sixers on ring night.  The celebrations and delayed tip-off may have played a part in New York’s performance at the Garden, but there’s no need to panic. Jalen Brunson looked like himself, and Andre Drummond pulled down double-digit rebounds off the bench.  Boston, meanwhile, has some early questions to answer. In its first game without Jaylen Brown, the Celtics…
