A feature of the early spring, horses such as Jeune, Makybe Diva, Verry Elleegant, Hartnell & Winx have taken out this event along with several other features throughout their career.

EliteBet can't split Buckaroo and Via Sistina in the 2024 Turnbull Stakes market, with the equal favourites sharing a $4.60 quote.

2024 Turnbull Stakes Tips


2024 Turnbull Stakes Best Bet - Warmonger

This will be another stepping stone en route towards a Caulfield and Melbourne Cup, however, Warmonger is well and truly up to winning over 2000m.

While the penny dropped via a 2400m Queensland Derby romp in winter before a spell, there's much more this galloper than simply being a dour staying type.

As a genuine winning chance, he was up against it first-up vs Mr Brightside and Pride Of Jenni, but the four-year-old was strong late and that return followed good lead-up work.

Warmonger broke through over 1500m, while he arguably should've won an 1800m contest second-up last prep and on each-way basis, he appeals in the Turnbull Stakes.
2024 Turnbull Stakes Next Best Bet - Via Sistina

Weather models are sitting on the fence in regards to Friday's and Saturday's forecast, with as little as 2mm and as much as 16mm among the predictions in Melbourne.

Given the failure on a Heavy 9 track as fav in the Makybe Diva Stakes, we can wait closer to jump time with Via Sistina, who was ticking over well before that recent flop.

The Chris Waller-trained import gets to her pet trip third-up, having won over this distance on Australian debut and that form has stood up nicely through Buckaroo.

It's easy to forgive one bad run, especially with Via Sistina being aimed at Cox Plate and with this her final lead-up before that major, she can easily atone on Saturday.
2024 Turnbull Stakes Value Bet - Sharp 'N' Smart

He looked to be the next big thing from New Zealand after his three-year-old season, with Sharp 'N' Smart fancied in many spring futures last year after the 2023 autumn.

A three-time Group 1 winner (two over this trip), the son of Redwood took out the 2022 Champion Stakes over this journey, which he contested third-up.

Sharp 'N' Smart was off the boil last season, but his latest attempt when covering ground with 63.5kg on a testing track suggested that he may have turned the corner.

Graeme Rogerson always had him pegged as Cups prospect, although I suspect 2000m is just about his right distance and at his best, he has the class to figure here.
