Horse Racing Tips for the Lismore Cup 2025

The road to the $3 million Big Dance at Randwick takes centre stage this Friday with the running of the Showcase Lismore Cup.

A feature steeped in country racing tradition, it has once again drawn a competitive field, but one sparingly raced five-year-old looks primed to take the next step.

Flywheel, trained by Robert Heathcote at Eagle Farm, has been edging towards a performance like this all prep.

The gelded son of Xtravagant has been hitting the line strongly in metropolitan company, before breaking through at the Sunshine Coast with a dominant late surge over 1300m.

He franked that form with another strong finish at Doomben when second to Lady Lucifer, a race that rated highly against the day’s stronger events.

Now stretching out in trip on a Good 4 surface, Flywheel gets conditions to suit.

His pedigree screams staying potential, and with a solid tempo expected, he can balance up, unleash late, and stamp his ticket to Randwick.

That said, there’s no shortage of threats. Local warhorse Wild Chap brings a wealth of experience into his 61st start and is tuned up after a strong run in the Rousillon.

Cranky Harry, winner of the Murwillumbah Cup two back, is fit, tough, and maps well despite the weight.

And don’t rule out crowd favourite At Witz End, a 10-year-old veteran with an affinity for firm going who steps up in trip at the right time.
