We’re set for a cracking day of metro racing this Saturday, 22 February 2026, with strong cards at Caulfield (VIC) and Rosehill (NSW). The fields are deep, the speed maps are intriguing, and there’s genuine value to be found. We’ve locked in our Saturday Tripod of Winners — three runners we expect to be right in the thick of it.

CAULFIELD
R8 #11 GHANA’S AKAN (Place)

Stable have a big opinion and is getting close to a win. Drawn well here, speed is always on in a Blue Diamond and can definitely run into the placings.

CAULFIELD
R9 #14 POINT BARROW

Jamie Melham and just 50kg says it all about her chances here. Ticks a lot of boxes.

ROSEHILL
R8 #7 NINJA

Been having a great time in Queensland now freshened up but kept fit with a trial last week. Just can’t see him not being in the finish.

Finding value in the Sydney and Melbourne autumn carnivals often comes down to tracking those horses that handle the quick back-up or transition between states. Looking at the recent action from Saturday, Streisand really put her hand up at Caulfield. Winning a Blue Diamond after covering extra ground is no mean feat, and her planned move to the Golden Slipper at Rosehill makes her the horse to beat in the coming weeks.

Over at Rosehill, the track played relatively fair, but it was hard not to be impressed by Ninja’s performance in the Hobartville Stakes. It’s exactly the kind of result we look for when putting together Horse Racing Tips, as it sets a clear path toward the Randwick Guineas. For those following our weekly Racing Tips, keeping an eye on the “Waller Ready” runners like Travolta who loomed large on Saturday is usually a smart play.

As we move deeper into the prep, watch for horses like Single Choice, who established some serious Derby credentials. The current racing tournaments are showing that the form from the Blue Diamond and the Silver Slipper is holding up exceptionally well. Whether you’re focused on the sprint features or the staying tests, the key is identifying those runners that found clear air late on Saturday and are ready to peak.
