PB Lawrence Stakes Tips 2026: Predictions & Best Bets

We backed Cosmic Crusader to win fresh-up at Caulfield, and he didn’t let us down. Therefore, there is no reason to jump off his back.

The 6YO son of Maurice owns nine wins and five placings from 18 starts, including at the top level, and although there is more depth to this field, he’s clearly good enough to handle the opposition.

We loved the way he picked up close to the line last time out, and with William Pike riding, he’ll likely get every chance in the run despite drawing awkwardly in barrier 8. Pike has plenty of experience riding at Caulfield, which adds to his appeal.

The $2.45 odds are good enough to include in PB Lawrence Stakes tips this week.

There hasn’t been much respect for Feroce in PB Lawrence Stakes odds, but we’re happy to snap up the current price.

The $9 for a quality gelding is a good price, and although he’s only a three-time winner from 17 starts, he has competed against some of the best in the business, so Group 2 level suits him.

His fresh-up record is solid, and he should handle the rain-affected track. He has a win and two placings in soft ground, and if it stays in the heavy range, his breeding suggests that he’ll handle it better than most.

It could pay to ignore the recent form from Regal Zeus, who beat a total of one runner home in two Queensland starts.

The 6yo gelding didn’t enjoy the Sunshine State, but he’s a three-time winner at Caulfield, and he won his only start in heavy conditions, so we’ve found room for him with our PB Lawrence Stakes tips.

Punters should expect him to ping the barriers and lead. He’s fit enough, and providing the current odds of $51 to win and $9, he’s worth including in picks as a roughie. We know he’ll need to improve to win, but we priced him at lower odds, so we’re taking the value.

Punters get big odds with our PB Lawrence Stakes SRM, which includes all three of our runners and also Evaporate.

We have Cosmic Crusader Top 2, Feroce Top 4, Regal Zeus Top 6, and Evaporate Top 4, which pays a whopping $34 at Betcha.

It’s a big reward for the risk, and although horse racing SRM bets aren’t easy to get up, punters should have a good chance with our selections this week. The only big risk is including Regal Zeus, but even if punters leave him out, the payouts are still generous.
