Muswellbrook Racing Tips 7 July 2026 — can the Lees 3yo keep rolling?
Beaudesert Racing Tips 7 July — can Statement Of Truth repeat?
There’s one name on the Beaudesert card that jumps off the page before you’ve even finished your first coffee: Statement Of Truth. He’s already won at this track, and that matters at a meeting where plenty of these are either lightly raced, still learning, or simply trying to find the right setup.
We’ve got five races on turf, and it’s a proper mixed bag: two-year-olds trying to work out what racing is, a big messy maiden where position will matter more than most punters want to admit, and two Class 2 handicaps that look like they’ll be decided by who gets the softest run. These Beaudesert racing tips are written like you and I are standing at the rail: who’s ready to win, who’s a risk, and where I’d actually bet versus where I’d watch.
Odds comparison isn’t available for this meeting in the feed, so this is a form and map job rather than a price-shopping exercise.
Beaudesert, 7 July, the setup
Limited course form across today’s fields. Most runners have one or two starts here, so treat the “track record” stuff as a note in the margin rather than gospel. The one exception is jockey data: a few riders have enough volume here to take seriously, and it’s worth leaning on that when races look evenly matched.

| Jockey | Runs | Wins | Places | Win% | Place% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D L Turner | 6 | 3 | 6 | 50.00 | 100.00 |
| Jag Guthmann-Chester | 5 | 2 | 4 | 40.00 | 80.00 |
| MS G Cartwright | 12 | 5 | 6 | 41.67 | 50.00 |
| D Peisley | 10 | 3 | 4 | 30.00 | 40.00 |
| Ashley Butler | 5 | 2 | 2 | 40.00 | 40.00 |
| Archie MC Colm | 16 | 3 | 7 | 18.75 | 43.75 |
Trainer stats are a bit of a trap today. A couple of barns look “hot” on raw strike rate, but they’re built on tiny samples. If you want one trainer note you can actually use, it’s this: T J Gollan has the volume at Beaudesert (10 runners historically in the data provided) and keeps landing winners here.
Race-by-race
Race 1: Roma & Esk July 11 Mdn Hcp — 12:43, 1804m
The contender I keep coming back to is Bassett’s Choice. The formline is the right shape for a 3yo maiden stepping into a testing 1804m: he’s been thereabouts without getting the chocolates yet, and from gate 2 Jaden Lloyd should be able to hold a spot and avoid the usual mid-race nonsense you get in these Beaudesert staying maidens.
I’m happy to take on the topweight Meaner Than Most at 60kg. Yes, he’s drawn to get every favour (gate 1, D Peisley rides), but his recent results don’t scream “I’m ready to win a maiden over a trip” and his last 90-day record in the feed is one run for an 11th. That’s not a killer in isolation, but it’s enough for me to want value if the market makes him short.
Weekend Spirit is the danger because he keeps turning up and running honest races (42354). Drawn wide (8) means Guthmann-Chester needs a plan early, but if they slide in without burning too much petrol he’s right in it late.
Play: Bassett’s Choice win. Small saver quinella with Weekend Spirit if you want coverage.
Race 2: Ingham Races July 11 Mdn Hcp — 13:18, 1312m
The question here is simple: do you trust the exposed kids, or do you swing at the debutants? I’m leaning exposed, and I want Miss Informed. She’s drawn 1, she’s shown enough in three runs (463) to suggest she can hold a spot and kick, and these 2yo maidens at Beaudesert often go to the one who doesn’t do anything silly in the first 400m.
The obvious watch is Nozomu. He’s had four goes and hasn’t broken through, but that 53-58 profile says he’s at least been in the race at some point, and the inside-to-middle draw can give Tomizawa options.
One you can throw into wider multiples is Catfish with Ashley Butler. Butler wins 2 of 5 rides at this track in the provided data, so if the gelding gets a soft run from gate 7 and the leaders overdo it, he’s the type who can pinch it.
Play: Miss Informed win. If the market wants to be silly and gives you a big each-way quote, save a place on Nozomu.
Race 3: Ilfracombe Picnic Race Club July 11 Mdn Hcp — 13:53, 1203m
This is the messy one. Twenty runners, plenty of wide gates, and a distance that punishes horses who sit three-wide without cover. So I’m starting with the shape: I want the runner that can hold a spot from an inside draw and get first crack when the outside brigade is still hunting for cover.
That points me to Queen Of Aces from gate 1. Campton doesn’t have a big sample at Beaudesert in the data (four runners), but this is the right sort of placement for a mare who can use the draw, and Zechner should be able to ride a quiet, economical race. Her recent form (37-6) isn’t flashy, but in this kind of race “flashy” is overrated.
The danger is Video Vixen. She’s been around, she keeps putting herself in the finish (3-25343), and barrier 3 lets her camp just behind whatever speed develops. If they go too hard up front, she’s the one I can see grinding past them.
If you want a roughie for a trifecta, Secret Rose has the right kind of last start (5578-2) to say she might be on the up, even from a wide-ish draw.
Play: Queen Of Aces each-way. This is not a race to bet big.
Race 4: Thangool Race Club July 18 Hcp (C2) — 14:28, 1312m
The market problem, if there is one, will be punters defaulting to the obvious “last start looked good” types without respecting the one horse who keeps turning up and running proper races at this level. I want Snugg.
The form reads like a horse in the sweet spot: 17-512. That’s a win, then a placing, then another placing, and he maps to get a run where he’s not giving away start or track position. S Cormack doesn’t have a winning strike at Beaudesert in the small sample (2 rides), but he’s placed both times here, and that tells you he rides the track fine.
El Centro is the danger. He’s a bit more up and down (72173), but he’s capable and B Lerena is one of those riders who can make a mid-race decision that wins the race rather than “rides to instructions”. If El Centro gets to the right back at the right time, he can swamp them.
I’m forgiving Cat Empire on class alone, but not on weight. He carries 60kg, and older horses under big weight in winter country handicaps can look a winner on paper and then hit the wall at the 150m.
Play: Snugg win.

Race 5: Hughendan Jockey Club July 18 Hcp (C2) — 15:03, 1312m
The contrast makes this race: Statement Of Truth has the upside and the track tick, while Standlee has the “about to win one” profile that can break punters’ hearts if you get the price wrong.
I’m sticking with Statement Of Truth. He’s won on his only start at Beaudesert, and the jockey change is a clear statement of intent: D Peisley climbs aboard, and he wins three of ten rides here in the numbers provided. The 12052 form says he’s competitive every time he goes around and he doesn’t need to improve much to win a Class 2 at this venue.
The danger is Standlee because he’s been knocking on the door hard (3-3332). If this turns into a sit-and-sprint and he gets the first crack, he can absolutely run past Statement Of Truth late.
For wider plays, No Name Frank appeals as the “value without romance” runner. He comes off a second (7643-2), and Archie MC Colm rides him. Archie’s not a slam-dunk winner at Beaudesert, but he puts plenty into the placings here and that matters if you’re playing each-way.
Play: Statement Of Truth win. Exacta saver with Standlee running second. If you’re multi-minded, Statement Of Truth is the banker.
Where the money goes
NAP: Statement Of Truth (Race 5, 15:03). He’s already proven he handles Beaudesert and gets a rider who consistently makes good decisions on this circuit.
Value: Queen Of Aces (Race 3, 13:53) each-way. It’s a chaotic race, but barrier 1 gives her the one thing money can’t buy in a 20-horse maiden: control over your own luck.
Banker for multis: Statement Of Truth again. If you’re only anchoring one leg all day, make it the horse with a win at the track and a jockey booking that screams “we’ve come to win”.
Each-way play: Queen Of Aces.
Course angle to keep in mind: D L Turner is a Beaudesert weapon when he turns up, winning three of six rides and placing on every one of those six. He’s not on this card, but it’s a note to bring to the next meeting when he is.
If the market keeps underrating inside gates in these big Beaudesert maidens, we’ll keep taking the easy money every winter.
