Free Horse Racing Tips & Best Bets for Grafton & Kensington 9/7/25

Midweek racing heads to Grafton for Day 2 of the July Carnival and Randwick Kensington in Sydney, where punters will be looking to strike early and often.

Grafton offers a competitive card with a mix of country form and promising types stepping up, while the Kensington circuit presents a more tactical affair with tempo and map position crucial – particularly on drying ground and rail at 5 metres.

Mick Gannon has his sights set on two standout plays: one up north ready to strike in maiden company, and another in town who’s knocking the door down and ready to win.

 

 

Best Bets for Warwick Farm by Mick Gannon 9/7/25

Grafton Race 2 #2 Chief Of Staff $2.70

Formerly with Chris Waller and now under the guidance of Matt Dunn, Chief Of Staff looks ready to shed the maiden tag at start number five.

He’s been solid this prep without much luck, and now draws a middle gate in a race that sets up perfectly for him tactically.

Main rival Ziggy Rose is drawn wide and likely to get back, while Chief Of Staff should land just forward of midfield and get the right run in transit under Aaron Bullock.

With race fitness, tactical advantage and clear improvement to come, he gets every chance to break through in a race lacking depth outside the top two.

Time to cash in.

 

Randwick Kensington Race 7 #9 Lady Boss $4.20

After seven consistent runs this prep, Lady Boss is knocking on the door and looks set to kick it down today.

She drops back from Saturday BM78 grade to a more suitable midweek benchmark and gains the services of Adam Hyeronimus from an ideal draw.

Expect her to roll forward, take up a prominent position and get all the favours in transit.

With four placings already this prep, she’s overdue, but this looks like her race.

The setup, class drop, and map all scream “now or never” for a mare who’s been ultra-consistent.

Rated $3.30, she’s a strong bet to finally return to the winner’s stall.
