Flemington Racing Tips 6 June 2026 — can Waller’s pair boss the BM78?
The fun quirk of this Flemington meeting is how different the two races feel, despite sharing the same stage. Race 1 is raw 2yo speed and guesswork, the sort where one sharp education can be worth more than any pedigree chat. Race 2 is the opposite: a big, sprawling BM78 over 1750m where map, weight and decision-making matter more than hype, and where the same stable can attack you from two angles.
You’re getting my Flemington racing tips in one hit: a confident stance in the BM78 and a more practical, “don’t get cute” approach in the 2yo handicap. Turf track, two races on the card in our data, and plenty of runners with only thin course histories, so we’ll lean on current form lines, barriers and how the races are likely to be run.
Flemington — the setup
We don’t have meaningful depth of course form across today’s fields. Most runners have one or two starts at Flemington, which is a note, not a trend. The better guide here is stable intent, recent form profiles, and whether the race shape lets your pick actually use its strengths.
For the one stable that does bring a proper body of Flemington evidence, Ben, Will and JD Hayes have a long-running sample at the track: 67 runners here for 7 wins and 25 placings. That’s a strike rate you respect without treating it like a cheat code.

Race-by-race — Flemington predictions
Race 1: Tab We’re On Hcp — 11:55, 1203m
Divine Dot is the one I want to be with early. The profile is simple and strong: the formline reads 1-511, and in the last 90 days they’ve gone to the races twice for two wins. Yes, that’s only two runs, so I’m not dressing it up as a “trend”, but it tells you the stable has this youngster in a good place right now. Barrier 1 doesn’t hurt either, because Flemington 1200-style races can get messy, and saving ground early is half the battle for a 2yo learning on the job.
The danger is Vega Vixen. She’s already won (form: 1) and she gets Jye McNeil, who rides this track plenty. McNeil’s Flemington numbers aren’t at “automatic” level, but he knows where the winning lanes are and he’s rarely caught napping when the heat goes on. Gate 8 is the question: she may need to do a little work early, or be ridden cold and trusted to finish.
If you’re chasing a knockout punch at odds, the Hayes trio have multiple debutants and lightly-raced types (Resonant, Alpine Point, Profumo, Stars Of Dom), and they do place runners here often enough to keep them onside in multiples. Still, I’m not trying to outsmart a race full of unknown ceilings.
Staking: Win bet Divine Dot. Small quinella saver with Vega Vixen if you like playing it safe in 2yo races.
Race 2: Fancy A Gallop Plate (Bm78) — 12:25, 1750m
This is the card’s betting race because you can actually make a case that holds together. I’m with Nobler. The formline (1-2611) screams “horse going the right way”, and the last 90 days back it up: 4 runs for 2 wins and 3 placings. That’s not a fluke spike, that’s a horse consistently putting itself in the fight. From gate 5, McNeil should get the run every rider wants in a 1750m handicap: close enough to strike, not trapped in other people’s chaos.
The obvious stablemate wrinkle is Ant (same trainer, same jockey listed on the card). But Ant comes in with a rougher recent pattern (95-097) and barrier 12 makes life harder again. If that one improves sharply, it’s more likely because the race shape falls apart and they charge home, not because everything goes to plan.
The main danger to Nobler is Walking Painting. The Freedman camp have him going well enough (form: 53710) and he draws gate 4, which is the other sweet spot for a midfield stalker. He’s also won within the last 90 days (3 starts, 1 win), so he’s not here just to make up numbers.
Now for the horse that can blow the race up if they give it too much respect: Yam. The form (1-01221) is rock-solid and suggests he keeps finding a way. But he’s drawn 10 in a big field and carries 59.5kg. He’s also had one Flemington run for a finish around midfield (barrier and run style matter here), so I’m not paying for a “track specialist” narrative that doesn’t exist.
Two more worth a sentence because they’ll tempt you: Madiyya has placed in both Flemington visits, which is handy, and Raging Bull looks honest enough (4335-3) but comes in off just one run in the last 90 days and doesn’t have the same upside feel as the progressive types.
Staking: Win bet Nobler. Exacta saver Nobler with Walking Painting. If the market overreacts and gives you a price on Yam, I’d rather back him to place than to win.

The plays
NAP: Nobler (Race 2, 12:25). He’s in the sweet spot of the handicap, drawn to get a clean stalking run, and his recent 90-day profile reads like a horse that’s still improving rather than plateauing.
Value: Walking Painting (Race 2). Gate 4 matters in this sort of BM78, and he’s shown he can win within the current prep window. If the market prices him like a grinder with no punch, take it.
Banker for multis: Divine Dot (Race 1, 11:55). Two recent runs for two wins and barrier 1 is the sort of uncomplicated setup you want when you’re linking legs.
Each-way look: Madiyya (Race 2) for players who like a runner that keeps turning up at this track. Two runs here, two placings. Small sample, but it’s enough to say she handles Flemington.
Course angle to keep: The Hayes stable keep stacking runners at Flemington and they place plenty of them here over time. When they turn up with multiple live chances in the same race, assume it’s deliberate placement, not sightseeing.
Keep an eye on how aggressively riders use inside gates in the early 2yo race, because that pattern often repeats later in the day when the pressure rises.
