Wagga Racing Tips for Sunday, April 19th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Wagga on Sunday, which includes eight races at the provincial meeting.

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

Race 1. (12:40) Sandbar at Kooringal Handicap (1000m)

#4 – Jarbardar @ $1.95

There has been good money for Jarbardar, who has looked good at the jumpouts and trials.

The two-year-old son of Written By won a trial at Corowa and a jumpout at Wangaratta, which is good enough form for this race.

Strong bets have come his way, which is always a good sign on debut.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (13:19) Finance Tycoon Maiden (1000m)

#11 – Shezrushin @ $6.50

BET NOW

Looking to win on debut is Shezrushin, who has had two trials at Wagga for a win and a placing.

The three-year-old filly by Russian Revolution won by 1.5 lengths in a recent trial and having experience on the track is ideal.

She could sneak under the radar, so take the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:59) Finance Tycoon BM58 (1600m)

#5 – Pure Melody @ $2.15

BET NOW

Pure Melody was too good for them at Wagga last start when scoring as a $1.30 chance, so punters get much better odds here.

The win was closer than expected, but the three-year-old filly should only improve with that win under her belt.

We recommend taking the odds before money comes for her late.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (14:45) The Brothers War Maiden (1200m)

#2 – Chief of War @ $10.00

BET NOW

Chief of War showed good speed when winning a trial at Wagga, and he’s another debut runner with plenty of scope.

The three-year-old son of Shamus Award opened at $9 before drifting throughout the week, but we’re not concerned by that.

He should give punters a good sight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:25) Kooringal Stud Murrumbidgee Cup (1800m)

#4 – Villasaurus @ $4.50

BET NOW

Villasaurus isn’t an easy runner to follow, but the five-year-old should be tough to beat in this company.

The son of Villermont owns three wins and two placings from five starts at Wagga, so this is his favourite track.

He only needs early luck from out wide to put this field away.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (16:00) The Brothers War Guineas Prelude BM66 (1400m)

#5 – Blue Monday @ $7.00

BET NOW

Seeking three consecutive wins is Blue Monday, who scored at Moruya before adding a win at Albury last time out.

The three-year-old filly by Merchant Navy has yet to finish worse than second in three starts, and that form could continue Sunday.

The inside draw is ideal, so the $7 odds are worth taking.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (16:36) Kooringal Stud Wagga Town Plate Prelude (1200m)

#8 – One Hard Lady @ $3.40

BET NOW

Form is with One Hard Lady, who ran second at Albury last time out in a tough race.

The four-year-old mare is having her first start at Wagga, but it’s a circuit that should suit her racing pattern.

Barrier four is ideal, and she will give punters a good showing.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (17:15) Sandbar Queen of the South Prelude BM58 (1300m)

#3 – Elastane Miss @ $10.00

BET NOW

Punters get double-figure odds for Elastane Miss, who looks to cap off three consecutive placings with a win.

The four-year-old mare by Hallowed Crown owns a win and six placings from eight starts, so she has been all around the mark throughout her career.

1.5kg comes off her back to help with the weight.

Stake: 1 Unit
