Victoria Derby 2026 Betting Odds

Saturday 31 October 2026 · Flemington · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

There's a purse of around $3,000,000 available for the Victoria Derby, with the runners and riders battling it out over 2,500 metres. We've seen Riff Rocket, Goldrush Guru and Observer land the spoils in the past few renewals, with the market wide open which makes this Flemington race a popular one from an each-way betting point-of-view.

True Rebel has emerged as one of the favourites, although there are any number of horses who can land a victory and that includes Enchilada. Vallice and Cignetti are potentially strong each-way contenders, although King Snitz is a horse we can get behind at a bigger price. Shane Jackson's horse looked the part when winning at Caulfield last time out.

Victoria Derby Betting Tips

King Snitz wasn't pulling up any trees at Geelong in August, with the horse showing improvement at the same track in September when finishing third out of nine. However, there was a real star performance at Caulfield Racecourse when scoring over one mile and two furlongs. Sent off at odds of 15/1, the horse obliged in the Group 3 Sportsbet Classic.

Indeed, King Snitz beat many of the contenders who are now lining up in the Victoria Derby including Vallice and Cignetti. The former is trained by Ciaron Maher and he was able to produce the goods at Flemington in early October. That was in the Super Impose Stakes over a mile and a furlong on heavy ground.

Cignetti was only a short neck behind King Snitz in the above race, with the horse finishing third out of twelve horses at Flemington in early October. There was a success at odds-on favourite when obliging at Sale in August, with True Rebel potentially the one to beat and he's trading as the strong favourite to win.

Danny O'Brien's charge was sent off as the 19/10 market leader at Caulfield in the middle of October. The horse missed out by a short neck, with that coming after a promising debut at Bendigo. Enchilada may also go well for Patrick Payne and there was a mid-September performance at Seymour which shows encouragement.

Victoria Derby Prediction: King Snitz

King Snitz provided a surprise win at Caulfield in October and we think the Shane Jackson-trained charge can oblige on a bigger stage.
