The Group 1 Memsie Stakes runs this Saturday at Caulfield, and Ladbrokes has our complete 2026 Memsie Stakes runner-by-runner guide.
All 12 runners are expected to line up in the $750,000 feature, with Memsie Stakes odds presenting an even field for punters, with the favourite at $4.
Our form guide features a breakdown of all the horses in this year’s field, so punters can make an informed bet and get Group 1 racing for the Melbourne Spring Carnival underway in style!
He is a former winner of the Memsie Stakes, and his odds are worth entertaining. He has proven form in wet conditions, and although winning this race won’t be easy for the 9YO gelding, he’s expected to run well coming off a spell. He’s a runner worth including in Memsie Stakes tips as a value hope.
| 1. Mr Brightside (9) 59kg2125x |
Most of the early money has come for Jimmysstar, and at least punters know how the tactics will be. He will settle at the back of the field before making a sustained run, and that should be possible in the wet conditions. He is a leading chance, so it could pay to follow the market support with Memsie Stakes odds.
| 2. Jimmysstar (8) 59kg5342x |
He is unlikely to make much of an impression first-up, and he should need the run to show his best later this carnival.
| 3. Tom Kitten (1) 59kgx117x |
He’s not the worst bet in the Memsie Stakes at the odds, but he’s another runner we’d like to see with a run under his belt.
His targets are happening over the next two months, and he’s unlikely to be fully wound up for this race.
| 4. Buckaroo (10) 59kg0x25x |
A runner with all the potential in the world, but he’s a tough runner to back on a consistent basis.
He was given little chance to win fresh-up, so punters should ignore that performance behind Ninja, which was still a good run to finish third.
He should loom to win this race at some stage, so he’s worth a bet at $5.
| 5. Angel Capital (5) 59kg326×3 |
There has been some money for Birdman to cause an upset with Memsie Stakes odds. He’s another Chris Waller-trained runner eyeing longer targets in the spring, and a win would surprise most punters.
He’s a watch horse, so look for him to hit the line with a good finish.
| 6. Birdman (4) 59kg1521x |
He might have been the outright favourite had he not drawn barrier 11. However, he’s all class, and the Western Australian raider could keep his unbeaten Caulfield record alive.
William Pike is a world-class rider, and he’ll need to rely on his skills to win. He won’t get any favours out wide, especially on a wet surface, but the horse is going well enough to overcome any bad luck.
Our Memsie Stakes picks have found room for Cosmic Crusader, but he’s a risky bet at the current odds.
| 7. Cosmic Crusader (11) 59kg12×11 |
He adds more depth to this field, but he would need to improve a length to win.
He has five wins from 12 starts, so his record is tidy. However, his best form comes in Group 2 and 3 company, so he could find this a little too rich.
| 8. Sabaj (12) 59kgx244x |
Don’t overlook the Waller-trained runner, who will only be stronger as a 4YO.
He’s coming off a good 3YO campaign, and he’s a runner worth including in Memsie Stakes if he’s ready to produce fresh-up.
By all accounts, he’s ready to go, and he could sneak under the radar.
| 9. Autumn Boy (3) 58.5kg3212x |
Scratched from the Winx Stakes last week, but Waller might have pulled the right rein.
He should be better suited to this race compared to taking on the star mares, and his toughness could be enough to figure in the finish.
There is respect for him in Memsie Stakes betting, and his odds could firm right up until start time.
| 10. Beiwacht (7) 58.5kg8261x |
An interesting runner, but he’ll likely be struggling from the 300m mark. His last start run didn’t come with much luck, but we question if he’s up to this level just yet.
We would prefer to see him run in something easier, but good on connections for having a go at the top level.
| 11. Planet Red (2) 58.5kgx226x |
She won this race last year, which can’t be forgotten. She didn’t do much wrong in her last preparation, including a win and two placings, so she’s being underrated in betting markets.
If she is anywhere near her best, she should battle out the finish, and our Memsie Stakes picks won’t be leaving her out of calculations, especially at the generous odds.
| 12. Treasurethe Moment (6) 57kgx313x |
