Kalgoorlie Racing Tips: Can Fernie Sweep the Card?
Dubbo Racing Tips: Can Anyone Beat Jacob Stiff Today?
Jacob Stiff has five rides on the Dubbo card today, and the numbers say he’s the man worth following. Sixty-one rides at this track have produced twelve winners and another twenty-four minor placings — a rider who finds the frame two out of every five times he swings a leg over a Dubbo runner. He’s not on the topweight in every race, and none of his mounts walk in as the outright elect, but when the phone rings and it’s a chance to book Stiff for the Dubbo meeting, stables answer. Six races unfold on the turf today, headlined by the Dubbo Gold Cup Calcutta and the Dubbo Gold Cup itself, and there’s enough depth across the card that Dubbo racing tips built purely on box seats and barrier draws will miss the real form. Here’s the race-by-race read, with the numbers that actually back it up.
Dubbo racing tips — the setup
Limited course form dominates most of today’s fields — plenty of first- and second-up runners with no history at the track — but a handful of horses have built a genuine record here, and it’s worth knowing who they are before the card gets underway.
| Horse | Runs | Wins | Places | Win% | Place% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bounding Bon | 6 | 0 | 3 | 0% | 50% |
| Sellinya | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0% | 0% |
| Lagoon | 4 | 1 | 1 | 25% | 25% |
| Billabong Rose | 4 | 0 | 2 | 0% | 50% |

The jockeys’ room tells a clearer story. Jacob Stiff leads for placings (61 rides, 39% place strike), while Izzy Neale (46 rides, 15% wins, 41% placed) and Kody Nestor (44 rides, 14% wins) also chalk up plenty of minor money. On the training side, M R Mulholland is quietly the number to note — 31 runners at Dubbo have returned 8 winners, a 26% strike rate that’s the best of anyone with genuine volume at the track. S I Singleton (4 runners, 2 wins) and Lyle Chandler (4 runners, 1 win, 3 places) are smaller-sample outfits doing well, while Brett Robb’s 53 runners have delivered a steady if unspectacular 9% winning edge with a heap of places (36%).
| Trainer | Runs | Wins | Places | Win% | Place% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M R Mulholland | 31 | 8 | 18 | 26% | 58% |
| Brett Robb | 53 | 5 | 19 | 9% | 36% |
| C Lundholm | 44 | 7 | 14 | 16% | 32% |
| R P Northam | 20 | 4 | 7 | 20% | 35% |
| David J Smith | 15 | 1 | 6 | 7% | 40% |
Race by race
Race 1: Westside Cellars Plate (C1) — 1:40PM, 1750m
Arwa Miss has been racing well since resuming, winning once and placing again across her last three runs, and while she’s had only one look at Dubbo, she placed in it. K Dunbar takes the ride again for M C Lynch, a combination that knows this filly well. The one horse capable of running her down is Puissance Power, who has placed in three of his last four runs and lines up for M R Mulholland — the standout trainer at this track today, with 8 winners from 31 runners here. That’s not a one-off; it’s a stable that clearly targets Dubbo well, and it makes Puissance Power more than a token danger. Media Spin adds another layer under Zoe Hunt for C Lundholm — he’s placed in all three of his runs this campaign without quite winning one — and could easily be involved in the finish if the pace collapses late. Back Arwa Miss to win, with Puissance Power the each-way risk if you want to cover the stable in form.
Race 2: Join The Derby Club 2026 Country Boosted Mdn Plate — 2:15PM, 1094m
Does this maiden actually have a winner in it? Seventeen runners line up and not one of them has broken through yet, so the honest answer is: hard to know. Kneel Down brings the most consistent figures of the field, with three placings from six runs for Dennis Bush, and Izzy Neale takes over the ride having partnered plenty of Dubbo placegetters this campaign. Tucklan has flashed ability without finishing the job — one minor placing is all he has to show from his last three starts — for a Brett Robb stable that keeps finding this track to its liking. Treat this as a watch race rather than a confident betting proposition — if forced, Kneel Down each-way on marginally the best résumé, but there’s no shame in sitting this one out.
Race 3: Golden Eagle & Derby Day Mdn Hcp — 2:50PM, 1422m
Two horses in this field have found the frame every single time they’ve stepped out, and yet neither has won. Argyle Springs is five from five for places without cracking it, a card that reads as bad luck as much as bad ability — and with a light weight of 122.3kg under Billy Cray, this looks like the day the frustration ends. Kojak isn’t far behind on the placegetter’s ledger, four minor placings from five runs and drawn to get every chance from Liam Blanch for Todd Smith. The contrast between them is straightforward: Argyle Springs looks the sharper improver right now, Kojak the more experienced professional who knows how to grab a piece of prizemoney. Miners Mate rounds out the each-way calculations — placed three times in his last four starts — and is racing into form at the right moment. Win bet on Argyle Springs, save on Kojak.
Race 4: Dubbo Gold Cup Calcutta (Bm50) — 3:25PM, 1531m
Twenty runners go around in the biggest field of the day, and the shape of this race matters more than any single form line — with that many runners and few genuine leaders committed, this could easily turn into a war of attrition where the horse that saves the most ground wins it. Lagoon has course form on side, a win and a place from four runs at Dubbo specifically, and draws into a lightly-weighted gate for Kylie Kennedy under Juliet Partridge. Blackhill Kitty is the more in-form runner on raw figures — a win and three further placings from her last five runs — for the Connie Greig stable, which fields no fewer than five runners in this race alone. That’s a lot of firepower from one yard to ignore, even if Greig’s overall Dubbo record — just one winner from 46 runners at the track — suggests the stable doesn’t necessarily save its best form for this circuit. Miss Karis, for the well-performed Brett Robb stable, has placed in four of her last seven and adds each-way interest at bigger odds. With this many runners and this little separating them on pure ability, staking discipline matters as much as the selection: Lagoon to win, Blackhill Kitty the each-way cover.
Race 5: Dubbo Gold Cup (Bm58) — 4:05PM, 1094m
The market here should be shaped by recency, and two horses have won recently while the rest of the field is still looking for its first success of the campaign. Ilikesooboogie has won one of her last two runs and placed in the other, form that suggests she’s racing at or near her peak right now. Puffin isn’t far behind, a winner from three runs this time in and racing his way into form under Gabrielle Johnston. Bounding Bon deserves a mention purely on course experience — six runs at Dubbo for three placings — but no wins from that sample says he’s more swooper than closer when it matters. With bookmaker odds not yet locked in at time of writing, this looks a genuine two-horse race for minor tickets: Ilikesooboogie to win, Puffin the each-way alternative.

Race 6: Latitude Liquor (Bm58) — 4:40PM, 2406m
Todd Smith doesn’t send many runners to Dubbo — just seven for one winner across his whole book here — but the one he’s brought today matters. Godwits has already won at this track and placed in his only other visit, and he arrives off two wins from his past eight runs, form that’s building rather than fading over a genuine staying trip. Liam Blanch stays in the saddle, a rider who’s found the winner’s circle three times from nineteen rides here. The chief danger is Heapy’s Legacy for S I Singleton, a small stable putting up big numbers — two winners from four runners at Dubbo, a 50% strike rate that’s the best of anyone with multiple runners at the track today. Vastly, a winner from four runs this campaign, rounds out the each-way calculations for Brett Robb. This is the best-informed read on the card: win bet on Godwits, with Heapy’s Legacy the value alternative if you want to use the smaller stable’s red-hot number.
The plays
That’s the shape of today’s Dubbo racing tips: six races down, and the jockey premiership at this meeting belongs to Jacob Stiff regardless of which horse crosses the line first — a 39% placegetter across sixty-one rides here is the kind of number worth banking into your multis all day. On the horses: Godwits is the play of the day, a proven Dubbo winner building form into a staying test that suits him. Heapy’s Legacy is where the market looks generous, a small stable with a 50% strike rate at this specific track that most punters won’t have clocked. Arwa Miss is the safest single leg for a multi — solid recent figures, a track she’s already handled once. Argyle Springs offers the best each-way math on the card, five straight placings finally landing the right conditions to convert. And the course angle that carries through the whole day: M R Mulholland’s Dubbo runners have struck at 26% from real volume, a stable clearly built for this circuit rather than just passing through. If Stiff keeps riding this many winners here, he’ll be the name to check before anything else at every Dubbo meeting from here.
