The Everest and Caulfield Cup are here and the Spring Carnival is officially on. Ka Ying Rising heads to Randwick as the $1.40 favourite chasing back to back Everest wins, with Tempted, Jimmysstar and Ninja lining up to take him on. Then we tackle a wide-open Caulfield Cup featuring Cosmic Crusader, last year's winner Half Yours and two UK raiders in Wine Dark Sea and Enfjaar.
The 2026 Rugby League World Cup is here and we preview all 10 nations. We go through every team's chances, how the pools and finals work, and our picks for the winner, runner-up, smokey and top tryscorers.
Grand Final week and this is the one we've waited all year for. The Roosters are $1.44 favourites against a Knights side that went from wooden spooners to the decider, chasing a first title in 25 years. If Newcastle get up, they become the biggest outsider to win a premiership in the NRL era.
Two games from the grand final, and it's do-or-die from here. Sam Walker is back for the Roosters just 24 days after syndesmosis surgery. The Dolphins have won eight straight since that 66-0 hiding to Sharks. The Knights are chasing their first prelim win in 25 years against a Panthers side that has won 15 of their last 16 finals.
Semi-finals are here, win or go home! Sharks take on a Roosters side that has lost 4 in a row but always turns up in September. The Warriors must face the Eden Park curse with just 1 win from their last 6 games there, against a Knights side that has gone from wooden spooners to a genuine threat under Holbrook. Both elimination games broken down with all our best bets, tryscorer picks, first try longshots and same game multis paying up to $7.50. Under 22 minutes, straight to the value.
