How are we all?
R2 – Orion, I think the Divine Calling form is strong. I like this and Quest for Peace and will have these two on top along with Surging Wave ahead of the Rockford form.
R3 – Paximadia, Zoustar form is extremely strong for this, especially after Zoustar franked that form in Sydney recently and is now right in the betting for some of the big Spring Sprints. Barrier 14 jumping from the 1400 isn’t ideal however seems like there should be a bit of pace on and hopefully can slot in. Hopefully swooping home. Best Bet
R4 - Really tough race. 16 in it with nearly everyone having a different form line. Hard to line them up. Ended up settling on My Little Friend. Trialled well and ran OK in behind Kurisho and Rockford last time it was in Melbourne albeit going a while back. In Adelaide won a decent race and a number of the horses it beat have come out and won since. At some good e/w odds.
R5 – British General, hard to split a few in this race. I’m a big fan of Launay, flies at Flemington but I think it may be weighted out of this one. Along with that I think Sheer Talent is exactly that, one for the future. That said, it likes to possie up and from barrier 11 might get stuck 3 wide. Think British General almost back to its best with 2 great runs in 2 good races when it kept finding. Should find this a lot easier and get back to winning ways.
R6 – Sea Moon, If Sea Moon is any good as we think it is, it really should lap this field. Had plenty of excuses in it’s first two runs but if it wants a Melbourne Cup gig needs to go out and win this and think it will. Come up short at $2.40, take it one out in all your exotics.
R7 – Great race, one of the best of the day. Plenty can win it, and I think we could see a boil over. One I’ve followed is Godiva Rock. Last start had a heap of excuses and it was a forget run. In the Blue Diamond it was massive and prior to that it raced really well. Think 1600m is going to suit and on the big Flemington track it could come into it’s own. I really like Boss’ mount Wordplay as well, has strong Sydney form and this race suits. best value
R8 – The Turnbull. Often a great race and one which we can usually take a lot of value out of. At first I was somewhat underwhelmed by the field but after doing the form I think we have a lot of big players in this. Decided to stick with Super Cool, It never got a crack at them in the Feehan and on the big Flemington straight it could turn the tables on Fiornte who is set for bigger and better things. Only worry with Super Cool is it was seemingly struggling a long way out, before really finding another gear. This usually means it is looking for further which it has hear.
Fawkner is a Flemington specialist and think it’s a big chance to run a big race. 2000m is the query but it is definitely value if it runs up to it’s best and it settles. Pruissance De Lune starts a $2 favourite in this if the race was a month ago but its last run in truth was poor and it has dropped away in peoples standards because of that. Along with this we have Hawkspur down from Sydney and a few others who are right in this.

R9 – Aeronautical, was absolutely massive first up and think it’s time for its 4th win. A really interesting race with the 3 darley horses and I rate all 3 along with Steps in time and the gun South Australian Sprinter Platelet. I think Aeronautical will probably be on the good part of the track and hopefully runs up to it’s first run.
R10 – We all have those horses that continue to suck us in and for me, one of them is Hi Belle. Had a stack on it’s first up and as it often does, ran up to them like it was going to win but refuses to go past them. I know it’s record at Flemington doesn’t read that strong but it has run quite well there before. Sprints quickly and I think they’ll be swooping late in the day. Will tomorrow be the day it finally decides to go past them?
Happy punting.
