Best Bet Rosehill r6 Tanker; You just can’t put enough value on race experience in 2yo’s. Impressive winner at Caulfield on debut and great trial at Randwick in preparation for this. Needs to jump better from barrier 1 .
* Put off the preview as long as possible. Track rated good 4 , was predicted to be around a soft 6 with showers still a strong possibility.
Flemington r3 Knickpoint; Undefeated in two starts , one on heavy and one on good which is handy to know ! First go in the city but looks very smart and form has stood up.
Flemington r4 True Self; Unlucky 2nd to Prince of Arran in the Geelong cup says it all. Having a small saver on Top of The Range; Ran 2nd to Surprise Baby in last years Adelaide Cup so distance no problem and another very strong form reference.
Flemington r5 Santa Ana Lane; The world’s best rated sprinter has been huge in defeat this prep. Won this race last year and looks a moral on a soft 5 or better. Any wetter and Nature Strip is a danger.
Flemington r8 Melody Belle; This one will be wanting the rain to justify her short qoute. Was awesome last week in suitable conditions, silencing her knockers who doubted the strength of the NZ form. I’m also backing Kings Will Dream; Cox plate runners always run well in this race. Also won this track and distance start prior.
Ascot r5 Driftstar; This tip is fraught with danger. He was a karrakatta fav after 1 dominant 2yo win on debut. Then he just lost the plot. Has found his 3rd home and trial was enormous. He is that type of horse that could bounce on the bunny and trounce them or turn his toes up and tail off last. I’m giving him one chance .
