The following are free Australian horse racing tips for Saturday, May 31, 2025. The focus is on the racecards at Caulfield, Eagle Farm and Rosehill.
The highlights of the day are the two Group 1 races at Eagle Farm: The Kingsford Smith Cup (Race 7) and the Queensland Derby (Race 8).
Best Bets denote runners that stand out as the single best selection for their race. Strong Bets denote runners that are strong selections, but the separation between them and next best selection isn’t as strong. It’s not uncommon for us to recommend two Strong Selections for the same race. Quinella and Trifecta recommendations are made for races with multiple key chances.
This article will be updated leading up to the race day.
