Flemington Racing Tips for Saturday, April 25th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Flemington on Saturday, which includes eight races at the premier meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the Victorian meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (13:00) Tab We’re On BM84 (2500m)

#8 – Bluestone @ $3.40

Bluestone deserves a win this preparation after going close twice, including last time out at Caulfield when placing behind Zulu Angel.

The five-year-old son of Reliable Man has three wins and eight placings and dropping to 52.5kg should be enough to take him close.

It’s not an easy field, but he’s a good pick in the opener.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:35) The Les Carlyon BM70 (1400m)

#4 – Cafe Au Lait @ $5.00

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Cafe Au Lait, who won well two back at Pakenham before placing in heavy conditions at Flemington.

The Chris Waller-trained filly wasn’t suited by the track, but she has made a nice start to her career, and she has more wins in store.

We expect her to be tough to beat in an even field.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (14:10) Anzac Day Stakes (1400m)

#1 – Blind Raise @ $3.00

BET NOW

Looking to remain unbeaten is Blind Raise, who showed a good turn-of-foot when winning on debut at Sandown.

The two-year-old son of Ace High is bred to be better with time and distance, so the early win is a good sign for his career.

We’re not surprised to see money come for him during the week.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (14:45) WGCDR Ian Bayles DFC BM74 (1800m)

#3 – Skippers Canyon @ $11.00

BET NOW

We’re taking the value odds for Skippers Canyon, in what is an even betting field for the middle-distance types.

The four-year-old former Kiwi showed enough fresh up when running fourth at Caulfield, and natural improvement takes him close.

Look for him to drop back and come with a sustained finish.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:20) Auckland Thoroughbred Racing BM100 (1400m)

#3 – Athanatos @ $6.50

BET NOW

Athanatos is nearing a win this preparation after picking up placings at Caulfield, and running at Flemington should suit now.

The four-year-old son of I Am Immortal owns a win and two placings at Flemington, and although he’s only a three-time winner, he doesn’t know how to run a bad race.

The odds are better than expected, so take the value.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:55) VRC St Leger (2800m)

#1 – Deal Done Fast @ $3.90

BET NOW

Deal Done Fast hasn’t been too far away in tough fields, including running eighth at Randwick behind Green Spaces in the Derby.

He also has a VRC Derby placing to his name, so the 2800m won’t worry him, and we thought he would be the outright favourite.

He will grind away and be right in the thick of the finish.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (16:30) FLT Lt Peter Armytage BM100 (2000m)

#15 – Zakouma @ $2.70

BET NOW

Looking to make it four wins on the bounce is Zakouma, who scored easily by 2.8 lengths at Flemington last time out.

The five-year-old son of Crowded House has come of age this season, and with only 53kg on his back, he should be tough to beat.

It could pay to follow the betting moves, which have come.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (17:05) William Newton VC BM78 (1400m)

#11 – Cripps @ $4.00

BET NOW

Cripps walked home when breaking the Ballarat track record last start, and he could make the rise in class in style.

The four-year-old son of Magnus won by 6.5 lengths in BM70 grade, and he could control things off the inside draw at Flemington.

The each-way odds are worth including in horse racing picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units
