Flemington racing tips

Race 1. (12:15) Tab We're On BM70 (1410m)

#4 – Exit @ $2.15

Exit couldn’t have been more impressive when winning last start at Sandown, and she’s good enough to handle the rise in class.

The Ciaron Maher-trained filly won by 1.3 lengths against an open class field, and there are no superstars in the opening race.

Look for her to take advantage and score another win.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (12:50) VRC Membership Renewals Handicap (2530m)

#7 – Muktamil @ $4.80

Muktamil was beaten last time out but he produced another excellent effort in defeat behind Mormona.

The six-year-old son of Sea the Stars is only a four-time winner from 22 starts, but he also owns 11 placings, so he’s never too far away.

He stays down in the weights, so take the each-way odds.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (13:25) VRC Sprint BM74 (1200m)

#8 – The Shaper @ $11.00

The Shaper showed showed his class when getting back to winning form at Sandown last start, and he only needs luck to win this race.

He is a four-time winner overall, with two wins coming on soft tracks, and he has experience running down the Flemington straight.

Given the odds, we’re happy to back him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:00) Jockeys Celebration Day BM84 (1100m)

#9 – Documentary @ $3.30

Documentary looked like he needed the run at Flemington fresh up, so we’re happy to give him another chance.

The seven-year-old, who has had only four starts, is a former Hong Kong runner who has loads of talent, as evident when winning at The Valley twice last prep.

Something close to those efforts should see him win.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (14:35) VRC Spring Gala BM78 (2000m)

#14 – Federer @ $3.90

Federer is testing the patience of punters, but after finishing third at Randwick last start, he’s getting back to his best form.

The five-year-old looked like a potential megastar when winning his first two races, but the rise in class might have come too early.

This race is suitable for him, so give him another chance.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:10) Victorian Jockeys’ Association BM100 (1410m)

#9 – Green Fly @ $7.00

Green Fly showed good pace when winning at Rosehill fresh up before finishing just behind the winner in subsequent runs.

The seven-year-old son of Frankel should appreciate coming back to Victoria, and he should use the long Flemington straight to warm up.

He gets in with 55kg, so that makes him tough to beat.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (15:50) Aurie’s Star Handicap (1200m)

#11 – Splash Back @ $2.50

Splash Back’s win last time out at Flemington was an incredible performance, and she has a bright future this spring.

The Graeme Begg-trained mare owns six wins from 12 starts, and she’s armed with an explosive turn-of-foot, which will win her many more races.

She could mature into a Group 1 sprinter this spring, so back her to win this race.

Stake: 4 Units

Race 8. (16:25) Melbourne Cup on Sale Now BM84 (1620m)

#14 – He’ll Rip @ $12.00

He’ll Rip showed good pace when winning fresh up at Sandown before placing at Flemington, and something close to that should be good enough.

The six-year-old son of Hellbent has yet to win at Flemington from five attempts, but the long straight is right up his alley.

Dropping to 52.5kg should see him go close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (16:55) Inside Headquarters BM78 (1410m)

#11 – Jazz Affair @ $11.00

Punters get double-figure odds for Jazz Affair, who went close to scoring an overdue win when running second at Flemington last start.

The six-year-old mare by Demerit owns four wins and seven placings, so she’s never far away, and she’s an underrated type.

Dropping to 53.5kg should make her tough to beat.

Stake: 1 Unit
