KALGOORLIE PREVIEW AND TIPS | EXPERT TIPS | SATURDAY OCTOBER 4TH 2025<\/h2>\n
\n

RAIL: TRUE TRACK: Good4<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s that time of the year again as we head East to the Goldfields for the annual Kalgoorlie race round.\u00a0 Alongside the time-honoured Kalgoorlie Cup and newly minted Ron Sayers Sprint we have WA\u2019s equal fifth (I think?) richest race, with the running of the one-million-dollar Golden Saddle.\u00a0 They make too much money out there.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Smallish fields dominate the day early, with the key analysis probably coming down to how do the visitors from town, fare against the locals?\u00a0 The majority of the season the visitors have had a fair degree of success as they tend to find this a fair old dip in class.\u00a0 Some of the country to metro rating conversions (you have a country and a metro rating, effecting weights) for the locals are a bit stiff.\u00a0 Needless to say, most of the focus from a punting POV is with the visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

6. Style Diva
\n3. Argyle Star
\n4. Desert Edge
\n1. Villeins<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

Betting Strategy<\/p>\n

A few will be forgiven for dusting off a Calcutta hangover and skipping the first, in what can only be described as a very thin affair. Amazingly Villeins is the only horse above the allocated handicap (60+) of this race, to give you some idea just how basic this is. One thing this weight scale does do, is give some pretty big weight swings from recent meetings. Desert Edge gets 4.5kg on Argyle Star for a ~2.8L defeat. Sluice Box gets 5.5kg\u2019s on Argyle Star for beating him home (wet deck, which suited Sluice, but still) and 2.5 on Style Diva from that same race. I don\u2019t think any weight swing could suck me into the old boy Sluice Box, but there is no reason he can\u2019t end his 1176 losing streak. Since his last win he\u2019s been to Junction, the Fibre Sand of Bunbury, Carnvarvon, Albany, Geraldton and Esperance \u2013 you have to admire their perseverance! Style Diva makes most sense. Liked the win at Northam (nearly a second quicker than the other 2200m race won by Argyle Star on the same day) and her last run at Kal over the 1760 was super. Should get every. Argyle Star has been a different horse for Josh Brown. Goes around Thursday too, which is rarely a bad thing for a horse over a journey. Desert Edge gets weight and a soft lead. Villeins has been beaten out of sight at his last 3, but would any of these get within 10L of Sentimental Hero? Probably not. None of these would surprise me.<\/p>\n

2. Saturday Sesh
\n1. Kiralui
\n3. Playing Quest
\n4. Gibraltar Gold<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

Betting Strategy<\/p>\n

BACK: 2. Saturday Sesh (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $3.10)
\r\n
\r\nI think this is a good opportunity for Stevie Parnham to show some intent and take up the running with Saturday Sesh. There doesn\u2019t appear to be a huge amount of speed in this and his recent win over Three Grand has been franked by that galloper in a decent little C3 with arguably more depth than this. Love how they gapped third. Not desperate to get involved, but something nearish $4 gets me for a small play. Kiralui was lifted over the line by Pike two starts ago and is drawn to get a similarly soft run. She is really only a battler and the 59 has to be right on her mark, but this is extremely weak. My market has Saturday Sesh and Kiralui the other way around, so we might get the chance to bet. Playing Quest goes better back on top of the ground, while I don\u2019t think Gibraltar Gold ran out a super strong mile. I like her back to the 1400.
