Tristarc Stakes Betting
Tristarc Stakes betting odds are led each season by quality mares with proven Melbourne form, ability over 1400m – 1600m and those coming off a run in a lead-up race like the Blazer Stakes – now known as the Rose Of Kingston Stakes – or the Group 3 How Now Stakes held the month before. In 2022 beaten How Now Stakes favourite Chain Of Lightning improved on her third in that lead-up race to win the Tristarc Stakes next start.
Upsets are not uncommon however and recent winners to jump at double-figures in Tristarc Stakes betting include La Passe ($26 in 2015), Streama ($10 in 2012), Madam Rouge ($10 in 2020), and Lady In Pink ($17 in 2024).
Colette ($2.45 in 2021) was the last favourite in Tristarc Stakes betting to win.
Tristarc Stakes Tips
Good Tristarc Stakes tips include looking for a mare coming off a top three run in Group company, runners with winning form over the distance and Group 1 performers.
The favourites only have a fair strike rate in the race so looking further down the markets for a mare that ran well last time out at double figures is also a nice Tristarc Stakes betting tip to consider.

Our Ladbrokes’ insider Tristarc Stakes 2024 betting tips will be detailed below the week of the race so bookmark this page for the mares to back and sack in the Caulfield Cup Day support act this season.
- To Win: #9 Miss Aria ($7.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Open Tristarc market and Miss Aria looks a lovely price based on her excellent and consistent form this time in. Danny O’Brien’s four-year-old Zoustar mare has upside and was unlucky not to win the Group 3 Winx Stakes during the winter in Queensland on Heavy going. Any rain aids her chances here. Good lead-up with a Moonee Valley win carrying 57kg fresh before a second in the Group 2 Rose of Kingston. That race looks a perfect form line to follow into this and she was beaten by the barest of margins from a wide alley. Same weight, same hoop, better drawn and nice Caulfield record. Can win.
Tristarc Stakes Field
The Tristarc Stakes race field attracts a collection of the season’s top middle-distance mares many eyeing a Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (formerly known as the Myer Classic) run over the mile on Derby Day a fortnight later.
The traditional lead-up into the Tristarc Stakes field is Flemington’s Group 2 Rose Of Kingston Stakes (1400m) – formerly known as the Blazer Stakes – run over the same distance two weeks earlier.
