Swan Hill tips and results

Our price $6.00 · Cian Macredmond

The step to 2400m on soft ground at Swan Hill is the key unknown given all runs have been on Good 4. Barrier 5 is ideal and the lighter weight of 57.5kg helps.

Our price $2.50 · Brad Rawiller

The Moody/Coleman stable and Rawiller booking signal intent. The key concern is the untested soft track record and first-up fitness after 141 days. However, in a field dominated by debutants and horses with no form data, Boridi's metropolitan experience and elite connections make it the most credible selection.

Our price $5.50 · Will Gordon

Press Jonkit is a complete debutant from the elite Hayes stable, which provides the primary positive signal. Barrier 7 is advantageous on soft ground at Swan Hill. However, the multiple first-time gear changes (ear muffs, lugging bit, stallion chain) raise behavioural concerns that temper enthusiasm. Will Gordon has a solid Swan Hill record but poor recent form. Ranked third based on stable quality alone.

Our price $5.00 · Jack Hill

Hegely holds strong claims as the main danger. A recent third on Soft 5 at Ballarat shows wet track competency. Jack Hill's 16% win rate at Swan Hill is the best jockey-track combination in the race.

Our price $6.00 · Dylan Dean

Chasing Atlantis is a complete unknown as a debutant with no available form data. However, the lightest weight in the field (54.5kg) is a genuine advantage on soft ground, and barrier 2 at Swan Hill is ideal for a first-starter to find a comfortable position. The trainer/jockey combination has a 40% place rate from 10 rides together. Ranked third due to the inherent uncertainty of debut runners, but the weight and barrier advantages are real.

Our price $5.50 · Will Gordon

Dougie's Dream holds the standout credentials for today's race, having won at Swan Hill over the exact 975m trip on a Soft 7 track in June 2025. Her track and distance record reads 2 starts for 1 win and 1 place, making her the most proven runner at this venue and trip combination. Soft track record of 1 win from 4 starts confirms wet-track aptitude. Second up from spell with a solid second-up placing history. Will Gordon's 13% win rate at Swan Hill adds confidence.

Our price $10.00 · Christine Puls

Recent form shows consecutive placings on soft surfaces in May 2026, including a win at Avoca on Soft 5 in March. Barrier 5 is ideal. However, the 10-year-old carries concerns around age, jockey form (Puls winless in last 20 rides), and no wins at Swan Hill.

Our price $18.00 · Jackie Beriman

His soft track record of 3 wins from 21 starts confirms wet-track ability. The recent barrier trial win suggests fitness, and the improving form trend with a 3rd at Mildura is encouraging.

Our price $6.00 · Alana Kelly

Fantastic Host brings the best soft-track credentials in the race with a record of 3 wins from 20 soft-track starts and proven ability at 1600m (2 wins from 12 starts). Second up from spell suits based on placing patterns. The concern is Alana Kelly's complete absence of wins at Swan Hill and cold recent form.

Our price $5.50 · Will Gordon

Catch A Break is the standout soft track performer in this field with 2 wins from 11 starts on soft going, including a win at 1600m on Soft 5 at Werribee in April. Barrier 1 is ideal for Swan Hill's soft conditions, allowing the horse to settle on-pace which aligns with the track bias. The Ararat soft 7 run was poor but from barrier 13 - today's inside draw changes the equation significantly.

Our price $10.00 · Melissa Julius

The lightweight of 54kg is a significant advantage. However, barrier 13 on soft ground is a major concern, and the soft track record shows no wins.

Our price $7.00 · Chelsea Taylor

Olivia's Scandal arrives in excellent form having won her last two starts on wet tracks (Heavy 8 and Soft 7), making her a genuine soft track performer. She placed at Swan Hill in BM62 company on April 21 and knows the track well. The concerns are the wide barrier 15 and top weight of 62kg, which will require a strong ride from Taylor.

Our price $6.00 · Alana Kelly

Liselle's Luck is a proven soft track performer with 2 wins and 2 places from 9 soft track starts, arriving in form with back-to-back placings on soft going in SA. Barrier 3 is ideal at Swan Hill and the weight is suitable. The major concern is jockey Alana Kelly's poor record at Swan Hill (0 from 29) and no wins in last 20 rides. The horse's soft track credentials are genuine but the jockey booking is a significant negative that tempers confidence.

Our price $4.50 · Milos Bunjevac

Chosen Venture is the standout on local knowledge with an impressive Swan Hill record of 4 wins and 4 placings from 14 starts.

Our price $7.00 · Brad Rawiller

The recent maiden win at Leeton and the strong jockey/trainer combination with Brad Rawiller are positives. However, the significant class rise from Maiden company and zero wins from 5 soft track starts temper enthusiasm. The barrier 7 draw and forward running style suit the track bias.

Our price $8.00 · Joe Bowditch

The soft track record of 1 win and 6 placings from 19 starts is the best in the field for wet conditions. Barrier 1 provides an ideal inside run on a track where the bias is neutral. The second-up concern (0 from 3) is offset by the strong first-up record and the quality of the last win.
