The first of the Group 1 Melbourne spring races hits Caulfield this weekend, and with a cracking line-up to get things underway, Neds have you covered with our insider Memsie Stakes 2026 betting tips, predictions and favourites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $750,000 Memsie Stakes<\/a> (1400m) has delivered an absolute blockbuster field. Twelve proven weight\u2011for\u2011age weapons line up for the feature, and there\u2019s no shortage of stars with big campaigns ahead for punters chasing an early spring edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evergreen Mr Brightside returns as a nine\u2011year\u2011old marvel, still punching above his weight and looking to turn two consecutive Memsie runner\u2011up finishes into redemption. Reigning champ Treasurethe Moment is back to defend her crown after blowing them away fresh last year, while Jimmysstar heads the market as the punters\u2019 pick hoping to snap a frustrating run of outs. Add in Cosmic Crusader, the in\u2011form Caulfield flyer hunting a third straight win at the track, and you\u2019ve got one beauty of a race pending!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, who takes out the first big one of the Melbourne Spring Carnival?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below you\u2019ll find our complete Memsie Stakes racing preview<\/strong>, plus a Same Race Multi <\/strong>built for those chasing a little extra spice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reigning Memsie queen is back, and TREASURETHE MOMENT (6)<\/strong> looks primed to kick off another rock\u2011solid campaign.<\/p>\n

She closed out her autumn with a brave placing in the Queen Of The Turf<\/a>, and her earlier Caulfield demolition job in the Sunline Stakes<\/a> reminded everyone just how lethal she is around this circuit.<\/p>\n

A genuine Caulfield 1400m weapon, the mare boasts elite numbers at the trip and rarely puts a foot wrong when resuming.<\/p>\n

Her record at the track is very strong \u2014 four wins from six starts and never once missing the podium \u2014 and she\u2019s already proven she can boss this race after putting a gap on them fresh last year.<\/p>\n

Even with only steady trial form under her belt, she\u2019s the type who improves sharply on raceday, and Damian Lane\u2019s familiarity with her makes the map straightforward: roll forward, control the tempo, and dare them to catch her.<\/p>\n

Neds Verdict:<\/strong> A hardened Caulfield specialist with a killer fresh profile \u2014 the one they\u2019ll be chasing again and remains a top Memsie Stakes best bet<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
