Albion Park Harness Preview – Monday 2nd November

Yesterday • Ladbrokes Team

Oli Cownie has Monday night’s eight-race Albion Park card covered, with his selections and suggested bets for The Creek. CAMERINA (10) was an impressive winner last time out, working to the lead and taking them all the way over the 1660m in fast time, holding off Bettor Be Bohdi. She draws the back row this time but finds another suitable race and should still be hard to beat. ALLMIGHTY MAX (1) was able to control things out in front last time out at Redcliffe and proved too good. He should be able to drive through and lead in this race…

Daily Racing Tips – Sunday 1st November

31 Oct • Jared Timms

Check out our Sunday Racing Tips for November 1st below, featuring our Mornington best bets. INVINCIBLE LOVER (3) looks well placed to get up today at Mornington. The I Am Invincible mare was a consistent performer through her debut prep and ultimately broke her maiden at Pakenham in March, while she returned to action this time to fill the minors in BM66 company at Cranbourne. With natural improvement, from the good draw and under Jamie Melham, she gets plenty of ticks today. WONDER BOY (5) strikes a winnable race at Mornington today.

NBA Predictions & Daily Player Picks – Saturday, 31st October

Ladbrokes’ Daily NBA Tips & Player Predictions cover the biggest matchups throughout the 2026/27 season, with expert insights, game analysis and betting previews across the key markets. Toronto beat Orlando 129–99 just two days ago, and this rematch has a similar feel. The Raptors started slowly last time and fell behind early, but their offense clicked once they found opportunities in transition and took better care of the ball. Toronto has also been one of the league’s toughest defensive teams, allowing just over 102 points per game and posting a net rating below 100. With Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs…

28 Oct • Will Evans

The 2026 Rugby League World Cup group stage concludes this week – and after a succession of mismatches last weekend, there’s plenty of intrigue and excitement ahead with only Australia all but guaranteed a semifinal spot.   England is still in the mix, New Zealand and Fiji line up in a do-or-die battle for a place in the last four, and Tonga and Samoa square off in perhaps the biggest pool match in World Cup history.   England needs to beat Papua New Guinea and Tonga to beat Samoa – as well as a 68-point for-and-against swing across both games.   England is…

Ladbrokes’ Daily NBA Tips & Player Predictions cover the biggest matchups throughout the 2026/27 season, with expert insights, game analysis and betting previews across the key markets. Kawhi Leonard is expected to miss at least a week with knee swelling—a major setback for Toronto after the Raptors impressed at both ends of the floor before Monday’s heavy loss to Minnesota.  Orlando is also missing key players, with Jalen Suggs out and Paolo Banchero sidelined for at least four weeks with a high ankle sprain.  With so much star power unavailable, this matchup loses some of its appeal. Still, Toronto’s size…
