New Zealand Racing Tips for Saturday, February 7th 2026

We have expert betting tips for the New Zealand racing cards this Saturday at Te Rapa and Wingatui.

There is always great value at the NZ horse racing meetings, and we have our best bets across the two cards.

Te Rapa racing tips

—

Cheeky Devil won well three back at Rotorua before finishing not too far behind the winner at Trentham and Pukekohe.

The Laura Brennan-trained filly finished under a length from the winner last time out, and punters get each-way odds for this race.

Getting the inside draw could be all she needs to win.

Stake: 1 Unit

Miss Jones was an excellent bet at Trentham last week and she didn’t let punters down, scoring by two lengths on her ear.

The former Australian runner is unbeaten in three starts since coming to New Zealand, and she gets Opie Bosson in the saddle.

59.5kg is tough, but she’s the testing material.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Seeking back-to-back wins is Levakia, who grinded home to win at Pukekohe by just under a length.

The Kelso-trained mare owns four wins from 15 starts, so her winning strike rate is solid, and it’s an even betting field.

Soft track conditions are ideal, so she’s a good bet.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Single Red is a strong Oaks contender for next month’s feature after winning at Te Rapa and Waverley.

The three-year-old filly by Vanbrugh hasn’t beaten anything special, but she is a progressive stayer in the making.

It’s a tough field, but she could be better than the rest.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Wingatui racing tips

—

American Cheval is better than what her recent form suggests, and she could capitalise against a moderate field on Saturday.

The five-year-old mare by American Pharoah is only a one-time winner, but the win came at Wingatui, which is ideal.

Include her in picks at each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Bakers Dozen wasn’t too far away in her southern debut when running fourth, and she has improvement to come.

The five-year-old mare by Time Test wasn’t too far away in two of her three runs up north, including a sixth at Pukekohe.

There isn’t much depth to this field, so she’s worth a bet.

Stake: 1 Unit

Monaghan Boy runs at each-way odds after posting back-to-back placings, and a winning run is coming soon.

The six-year-old loves running over 1400m with eight starts for three wins and two placings, which is a good reason to include him in picks.

Dropping to 57kg could make a big difference, so take the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Punters got the cash with Maria Pilar last time out at Gore in heavy conditions, which bodes well for a good run on Saturday.

The four-year-old mare by Belardo showed fighting qualities to break maidens, and she doesn’t need to improve much to handle this field.

Take the each-way odds from bookmakers.

Stake: 1 Unit
