Show County Quality Tips & Predictions 2026: Best Bets

It could be best to overlook Disneck’s fresh stats. He has only one placing from five attempts, but we expect a top effort on Saturday.

The Bjorn Baker-trained gelding loves racing at Randwick as a four-time winner, and six of his eight career wins have come over this distance. That’s tough to look away from, and there are plenty of positives with his form.

He took on Group 1 opposition at Flemington last start, and he didn’t handle running down the straight track in Melbourne. He’s better suited to a turn at Randwick, and he would appreciate the track drying out a touch.

There is value to be had with Show County Quality odds, and the $7.50 for Disneck is a fair price from the team at Ladbrokes. We priced him at around $5.50, and he could shorten to that quote on race day, so it’s best to get in early.

He is another fresh-up runner with loads of upside. He might be only a four-time winner throughout his career, but he has handled fields of this nature in the past, and outside the favourite, there isn’t much Group 1 form.

The biggest betting guide is how much money has come for him throughout the week. He opened at $7.50 before firming to his current price, and that’s a big move for a runner coming off a spell.

It typically means the stable is confident, and after winning a trial at Rosehill, he looks ready to make an impact at this level in the spring. Include him in picks at the each-way quote.

Kris Lees lines up Infancy, who enjoys running at Randwick with two wins and three placings.

There hasn’t been much betting support for him, which is fair given his record on soft tracks, consisting of only two placings from six starts. However, we wouldn’t be so quick to overlook his chances.

He was only 2.9 lengths behind Splash Back at Group 1 level last start, and he has been given a freshen up for this race. If he can replicate that effort, he’s good enough to figure in the finish at double-figure odds.

Punters get value odds with our Show County Quality SRM, which includes our three selected runners.

We have Disneck Top 3, Macha Latte Top 4, and Infancy Top 5, which pays a generous $9 at Ladbrokes. We don’t have the favourite in our picks, as we believe he’s under the odds following a tough 2YO campaign.

There is much better value in backing the older horses in this race, so include our SRM bet in your horse racing picks.
