Ming Dynasty Quality Tips & Predictions 2026: Best Bets

It was a big run from GENESIS RUNNER (3) last start behind Plagiarism, and our Ming Dynasty Quality predictions expect him to win on Saturday.

The 3YO looks to have a bright future at this level, and he showed that when winning at Newcastle last preparation. It only came at Newcastle, but it was a stylish win, and there is a lot of hype around this runner.

Barrier 3 will give Kerrin McEvoy every chance to find a good spot in the running, which is crucial for this race. He’ll likely sit fourth on the outside, and he can unleash his good turn-of-foot in the straight.

The $3.90 odds are generous from the team, so we’re picking him to win, and those odds will shorten.

Blistering speed is with I’M YA HUCKLEBERRY (7), who found a soft race at Wyong and made easy work of it.

The Waterhouse/Bott-trained colt looked good when running second on debut behind Incognito at Randwick before going out for a spell, and he looks to have gained a lot of muscle in the winter.

It can be tough to beat raw speed, and Siena Grima will send him forward and look to see out the 1400m. It won’t be easy to rise in distance from 1200m, but he’s well-trained, and he looks ready to take on this field.

Punters get $4.80, and that’s where we priced him. He should run in the Top 3.

Slipping under the radar is PERSIAN WONDER (1), who won at Canterbury to kick off this preparation before running two solid races.

The 3YO son of Hello Youmzain ran fifth behind Plagiarism in a similar race last start, and although beaten by 2.8 lengths, he was closing well enough to suggest he’ll come on with the run.

He’s bred to enjoy racing as an older horse, and getting the inside draw could be all he needs to get back to his winning ways. There has also been solid betting interest after opening at $15 before drifting to $16.

Late money has come for him, so include him in Ming Dynasty Quality tips.

Punters get value odds with our Ming Dynasty Quality SRM, which includes our three selected runners.

We have Genesis Runner Top 2, I’m Ya Huckleberry Top 3, and Persian Wonder Top 5, which pays $10.50 for our three-runner SRM.

Genesis Runner pays $2.25 for a Top 2 finish, which is an excellent price, and he’s a must-have for all Ming Dynasty Quality predictions. I’m Ya Huckleberry and Persian Wonder bolster picks to add value.
