Another huge Saturday of metropolitan racing is set to unfold with quality programs at Flemington in Melbourne and Rosehill Gardens in Sydney on Saturday, 28 March 2026. With several in-form runners stepping out across both cards, this looks a great opportunity to follow horses hitting peak fitness and ideally suited by race conditions.
We’ve pinpointed four runners that profile strongly on recent performances, race setup and progression this preparation — from a last-start winner looking to go on with it at Flemington to a consistent Kiwi visitor ready to peak at Rosehill. Here’s our breakdown of the key chances we’re backing to run big races this weekend.
If you’ve been following our horse racing tips this season, you already know we don’t throw names around lightly. This Saturday feels different – Four runners that genuinely tick the boxes without needing to squint at the form guide.
Flemington
R6 #2 LEGACY BOUND
Resumed with a great win over this trip. Only unplaced run up the straight she still managed to finish alongside Tentyris.
Flemington
R8 #5 BIRDMAN
4th-up here after winning his last 2 at Group level and might be the fittest horse in the race. Worthy favourite.
Rosehill
R6 #2 BELLE CHEVAL
Kiwi visitor who looks ready for 2000m and hits this one 4th-up. Yet to miss a place and can finish over the top here.
Rosehill
R10 #6 KINGS SECRET
Loved the way he found the line when resuming, albeit from a long way back when it was all over. Great record, gets Zac again.
