Horse Racing Tips for Hawkesbury 8/10/26

Chris Camilleri heads to Hawkesbury for Thursday racing with a selection in all seven races and an interesting mix of short-priced favourites and long-priced outsiders.

Unlike some of his recent cards, all seven runners carry a standard stake, with no selection elevated to his highest confidence level.

The strongest market support sits towards the back end of the meeting, where You're Not The King at $1.95 and Brave Xena at $2 provide two short-priced options in Races 6 and 7.

Van Hoven at $2.05 is another prominent market chance earlier in the afternoon.

However, the standout from a price perspective is Magenta Shores at a massive $61 in Race 4.

It's an unusually big quote among Chris's selections, while Banner Banner at $6 and Laughing Moons at $5 offer more moderate value opportunities.

 

 

Hawkesbury Horse Racing Tips From Chris Camilleri – Thursday Racing Preview 8/10/26

 

Best Bet: Race 6 #4 You're Not The King ($1.95)

You're Not The King gets the nod as Chris's best bet based on the market, currently sitting at $1.95.

While all seven runners carry standard stakes, You're Not The King is the shortest-priced selection on the card and provides a potential betting anchor late in the meeting.

 

Next Best: Race 7 #1 Brave Xena ($2.00)

Brave Xena is another short-priced selection at $2 and rounds out Chris's Hawkesbury card in Race 7.

With just five cents separating Brave Xena and You're Not The King in the market, the final two races provide Chris's two shortest-priced selections.

 

Best Roughie: Race 4 #5 Magenta Shores ($61.00)

Magenta Shores is the clear roughie on Chris's card at a massive $61.

The Race 4 runner is priced significantly longer than any of his other selections and represents a speculative outsider rather than a high-confidence play, with only a standard stake attached.

 

Best Value: Race 1 #5 Banner Banner ($6.00)

For punters looking for value without taking on the extreme odds of Magenta Shores, Banner Banner at $6 is worth highlighting.

Chris's opening selection offers the second-biggest price on the card, ahead of Laughing Moons at $5 and Stromatolite at $4.20.
