Flemington racing tips

Race 1. (12:20) Tab We're On Handicap (1000m)

#2 – Boridi @ $6.00

Boridi is a good chance of winning on debut after winning two of his last three jumpouts.

The Moody/Coleman-trained son of Profiteer is bred to show early speed, and we like his action in his jumpout wins.

Getting the inside draw is typically a good thing down the straight in the opening race.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (12:50) Victorian Bushfire Appeal BM78 (2520m)

#9 – Navy Heart @ $7.00

Navy Heart was only a nose behind Leonchroi last time out, and she is good enough to turn the tables.

The Ciaron Maher-trained daughter of U S Navy Flag won two starts back at Geelong, which should be a good form guide for this race.

Getting down in the weights at 54kg makes her tough to beat.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (13:23) Australian Guineas Day February Handicap (2000m)

#1 – Wrigley Field @ $4.00

Wrigley Field could hit a home run for punters, having enjoyed a consistent season.

The three-year-old son of Doubtland won at Swan Hill and Ballarat before placing in consecutive races at Sandown, including one behind Flying Done, who won last week.

It’s a good form guide, and his form stacks up well here.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (13:58) Black Caviar Lightning Stakes Day BM70 (1800m)

#14 – Yes I Know @ $2.70

Yes I Know battled well for second in a similar field last start, and he could turn the tables on Saturday.

The four-year-old son of So You Think owns two wins and three placings from six starts, so he’s tough to bet against.

Barrier two is ideal, and he’s right on the cusp of another win.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (14:33) VRC Super Saturday BM78 (1100m)

#6 – Celerity @ $2.30

Celerity comes off an impressive win at Flemington by 3.8 lengths, and she looks more than capable of handling the rise in class.

The Godolphin runner has always shown enough ability to rise through the grades, and the penny might have dropped now.

Look for a betting push throughout the week.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (15:08) Vobis Gold Reef (1600m)

#2 – Harry’s Yacht @ $3.20

It was smooth sailing for Harry’s Yacht at Geelong last start, and although his best form hasn’t come at Flemington, that could change here.

The four-year-old son of Harry Angel owns two wins and two placings this preparation, and he doesn’t need to improve on that form to win.

Carrying 54kg is a great weight, so he can beat Jimmy the Bear.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (15:43) Thank You Emergency Services BM84 (1200m)

#8 – Fission @ $7.50

We tipped out Fission last week when paying $31, and it was a stylish win down the Flemington straight.

He had been unlucky in every run prior to that victory, so getting into clear air at Flemington is exactly what he needed to show his best.

This is a tough race, but he’s an explosive sprinter when he’s feeling it.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:18) Tab Australian Cup Day BM100 (2000m)

#2 – Saint George @ $3.10

Gunning for consecutive wins is Saint George, who was too good for them at Cranbourne last time out.

The six-year-old son of Roaring Lion put a margin on the field in the concluding stages, and he’s good enough to win again.

The imported runner has upside, and it could pay to follow betting moves.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (16:58) Thank You Volunteers BM84 (1400m)

#8 – Zouper Fund @ $5.50

The winning run of Zouper Fund came to an end last start at Cranbourne, but it was a good effort in defeat.

He owns five wins and two placings from eight starts, and he showed good toughness to win his races, which is a good attribute to have.

Barrier 13 is awkward but look for him to settle back and come with a late finish.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 10. (17:38) Thank You Firefighters BM70 (1400m)

#1 – Buccleuch @ $4.60

Buccleuch ended his first preparation with three consecutive wins, and he could return with a victory over the suitable distance of 1400m.

The three-year-old son of Peltzer won his last two starts at Flemington, and having course experience bodes well.

He carries a big weight, but class takes him a long way.

Stake: 1.5 Units
