12/1/19 Flemington Tips for Saturday

Flemington was rated a Good 4 on Thursday and with no rain expected over the next few days, that's where it will stay for race day. The rail is out 6m for the entire circuit however it isn't expected to change much in the run.

Punters have a good summer racing program to get their teeth into this Saturday with the Listed Chester Manifold Stakes the feature race on the program.

 

Race 6 Fillies And Mares Hcp (BM 84) 1400m

There looks to be genuine speed here early from Twitchy Frank (4) and Amortentia (6) who will both hunt up from inside draws.

If the rider on Set To Sparkle (7) resists the temptation to rush forward, the two leaders could put the brakes on and dictate the race. 

Best of the run-on profiles include Ocean Deep (10) and Gina's Hope (12), with the later set to bounce back following her last start failure at Caulfield where she finished 6 of 11.

She has been outstanding in lesser grade prior to that disappointing run, so willing to give her one more chance at this level, especially now that the mugs have dropped off and the price is right at $10 or better. 

Flying Krupt (2) is another that deserves serious consideration following his past 3 wins at as many starts.  At his most recent outing he ran on strongly to hit the line hard in a slashing victory.

Race 7 Paddock Bar Plate (Hcp) 1100m

Order Of Command (7) has been backed off the map in early betting ($3.20 into $2.35) which sounds an ominous warning that he should be winning this.

His natural pattern is to get back and run home hard and it appears there will be enough speed from the likes of Rocket Tommy (6) and Princeton Spirit (5), to allow him to do so. 

Invincible Al (4) is another who can take advantage of the genuine tempo up front and get home late over the top. Following the impressive last start 2 of 11 here at Flemington, he is a genuine winning hope.  

Of the on-speed runners, I'm Wesley (1) will keep kicking and is likely to be the last man standing of the more forward division.

Race 8 Chester Manifold Stakes 1400m

The feature race of the day has attracted a good quality field for this time of year and Holbien (10) is the one I have been waiting for to get out to this 1400m distance. He's been running home hard over the unsuitably short sprint trips and looks primed for this. $8 won't last!

Speed will come from Cabeza de Vaca (4) who should bluff them all for the lead and take-up the running throughout, with Chamois Road (1) to carve across and sit outside the leader.

If these two decide to run them along, expect Mr Money Bags (13) to be the one storming home down the outside to go very close. He was smashed in betting last start and ran accordingly when 1 of 10 at this course and distance last start.

3^rd  Cabeza de Vaca

4^th  Chamois Road 

 

Race 9  The Roof Garden Hcp (BM70) 1100m

A number of the on-speed runners have drawn wide here, which should ensure a genuine tempo and a possible path down the stand side of the famed Flemington straight.

Sir Kalahad (13) is one that will be in this division and has been heavily backed in early betting following a dominant win at Sale where he was forced wide throughout yet still got the job done. He only has to handle the class rise to be winning this.

Boom horse I Am Someone (5) will also be in the first half of the field and has to be respected on recent efforts, where he has been in the money and supported in betting at his past three starts.

Throw in Wind Force (3) and Vainstream (8) at odds, who will both get the ideal trail, tucked just in behind the speed horses. Tough race.
