- #12 Sanniya
- #3 Grid Girl
- #9 Stone Cold Stunner
Barry Campbell’s ultra-consistent Stratosphere filly, Sanniya ($1.50F), saluted for the punters producing a dominant display as her odds-on price suggested she would in the 2026 Vamos Stakes results. The second filly in as many years to complete the Mystic Journey Stakes / Vamos Stakes double, the progressive three-year-old was rated perfectly by jockey Craig Newitt who took her to the lead early from the wide draw and she held her front-running position all the way to the line. Brilliant late, she raced away on the home straight to deny Grid Girl by 1.75 lengths and take her record up to seven wins from eight starts.

Which Horse Will Win the Vamos Stakes in 2026
The best way to pick which horse will win the Vamos Stakes in 2026 is to take into account their Tasmanian autumn / summer racing form, assess the barriers, consider the weight the horse will carry and look for the in-form horses from the top local stables.
Additional factors to consider when picking the Vamos Stakes winner include:
- Best Lead Up – To get a forecast of this race, tune in to the Bow Mistress Stakes, taking place in Hobart a fortnight earlier. Take The Sit (8th in 2022) and Megamea (3rd in 2024) were the latest Vamos Stakes winners to come out of that race that is now run as the Mystic Journey Stakes before the fillies Geegees Mistruth (2025) and Sanniya (2025) both did the double.
- Interstate Invasion – Expect to see some expertly trained Victorian horses travelling down to the Apple Isle for this race.
- Age Factor – Just three fillies – Deroche (2020), Geegees Mistruth (2025) and Sanniya (2026) – have defeated the older mares in the Vamos Stakes since 2006.
Vamos Stakes Favourites 2026
Favourites in 2026 Vamos Stakes betting include the flying Barry Campbell-trained Mystic Journey Stakes winning filly Sanniya chasing her seventh win from eight starts and Lindsay Park’s Grid Girl travelling to Tassie off an unplaced Group 3 Frances Tressady run in Melbourne.
Deroche ($1.80 in 2020), Geegees Mistruth ($1.35 in 2025) and Sanniya ($1.50 in 2026) are the latest Vamos Stakes favourites to win.
