Makybe Diva Stakes Form Guide 2026: Runner-by-Runner Analysis

Shooting for his fourth consecutive win in the Makybe Diva Stakes. How can we rule him out? He has every chance to win again, and punters get double-figure odds for the current champion. He is a solid bet in the Group 1 feature.

Our Makybe Diva Stakes form guide 2026 hasn’t found room to include Half Yours. He is targeting the Melbourne Cup again this year, and he’ll find the 1600m too sharp fresh after a mildly disappointing Brisbane Winter Carnival.

His run for fourth last start wasn’t too bad. It’s always tough to get a line on how forward he is, and given the current odds, he could struggle to keep up with this elite field.

A dynamic middle-distance horse who got the better of Autumn Glow and Lindermann last start, both of which have since won good races. He’s a tough customer to get past, and Sheza Alibi will need to show her best to beat Sir Delius, who looks a great bet throughout the spring as he heads towards the Ladbrokes Cox Plate.

Thought the odds were on the generous side after running solidly for fifth last start. We’ve seen much worse runs, and he could make ground from the back of the field to figure in the finish.

Struggled to pick up in the straight last start against a similar field, and it could be a similar result. He is a runner being targeted towards the Caulfield Cup and Cox Plate, so we’re going to wait for him to get out over more distance.

Not firing this year, which is disappointing to see. He has seemingly lost his desire to race, and after drawing barrier 11, his chances of winning are slim.

A runner well worth including in Makybe Diva Stakes tips at the odds. He didn’t run well last start, but that was a forgive run. He has fitness in his legs now, and Mark Zahra could get the best out of him. He’s a tough customer, and we are not prepared to leave him out.

A quality effort for fourth in a close finish last start, and she will take a lot of benefit from that performance. She should settle handy to the speed, which is an advantage, and her toughness could see her dig in late. A runner worth including, and our Makybe Diva Stakes form guide 2026 has her running well.

The odds are bigger than expected, but she will need to find a few lengths to test this field. She had only a moderate last campaign, when more was expected of her, but we priced her at around $51. The $126 could see some action from punters looking to land a big blow to favourite backers.

A genuine superstar, and although there are some things going against her, she could blow them away regardless. Her run for second behind Autumn Glow in the Winx Stakes was just as good as the winners, and barrier 7 sees her land in a good spot. She’s facing weight-for-age stars, and she’s not well-weighted, but we expect her to win at short odds.

Chris Waller can do great things, but getting Ohope Wins to win over 1600m would be a big achievement. She will settle back and look to make ground with longer targets in mind this spring.
