Flemington racing tips

—

Race 1. (12:15) Tab We're On Handicap (1100m)

#3 - Gentle Steel @ $6.50

BET NOW

Punters get value odds for Gentle Steel, who made it three consecutive wins at Caulfield last time out.

Most of the money has come for She’s an Artist, but we’re not taking $1.50 for the favourite, so the best value is with Gentle Steel.

Take the $6.50 before late money comes for her.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (12:45) York Plate (1400m)

#1 - Burma Star @ $6.00

BET NOW

It’s a wide-open field, and Burma Star should give punters a good sight following a second placing at Flemington.

The Chris Waller-trained colt owns two wins and four placings, and he wasn’t far behind Legacy Bound last start, which is a good form guide.

Drawing wide shouldn’t dent his chances, so take the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:20) TBV Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes (1200m)

#1 - Gin Twist @ $2.80

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Gin Twist, who scored by 1.8 lengths at Flemington, and that’s the best form guide for this race.

The two-year-old filly by Home Affairs had been taking on tough opposition, and this is a good level for her, so punters should be confident.

William Pike returns to Melbourne, and getting the inside draw helps.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (13:55) Glorious Goodwood BM78 (1100m)

#4 - Nimbustwothousand @ $11.00

BET NOW

Boasting five wins from 14 starts is Nimbustwothousand, who showed good toughness to win at Caulfield last time out.

The four-year-old son of Lonhro is having his first start at Flemington, but it’s a track that should suit his running pattern.

1.5kg comes off his back, making the odds attractive.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:30) The Curragh Where Champions Are Made BM84 (2000m)

#14 - Zakouma @ $2.30

BET NOW

Winning form is with Zakouma, who got things started with a win at Caulfield before doubling down with another at Sandown.

The five-year-old son of Crowded House won by 2.5 lengths against a tidy field, and he looks to have stakes-level ability.

Getting in with 54kg helps, and it’s another premium ride for Pike.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (15:05) VRC Sprint Classic (1100m)

#5 - My Gladiola @ $2.40

BET NOW

The Flemington track played terribly for back markers last time out, so we’re hoping that’s not the case again for My Gladiola.

She is an elite three-year-old filly, who doesn’t know how to run a bad race, and we’re happy to put a line through her most recent effort.

If the track is in good order, she should finish over the top of them.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 7. (15:40) Lexus Roy Higgins (2600m)

#2 - Paradise Storm @ $4.80

BET NOW

Paradise Storm went to Ellerslie in New Zealand for the Auckland Cup and made a right mess of the field.

The French-bred gelding won by 6.3 lengths at Group 2 level, and it doesn’t matter how strong the opposition, that’s a mighty win regardless.

His form in Australia isn’t as good, but the penny might have dropped now.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:15) Australian Cup (2000m) - GROUP 1

Race 9. (16:55) ATA/BOB Hoysted Handicap (1000m)

#3 - Midwest @ $6.50

BET NOW

Midwest is always around the mark, and with nine wins and 16 placings, he is good enough to beat this field.

The seven-year-old son of Zoustar has yet to finish worse than third at Flemington, and eight of his wins came over 1000m.

Carrying 55kg is ideal, and the odds are worth including.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 10. (17:35) Royal Ascot Handicap (1600m)

#15 - Hellsing @ $11.00

BET NOW

Punters should expect improvement from Hellsing, who didn’t fire at Canberra last start, but he could turn things around.

The six-year-old son of Dandy Man looked better when placing at Randwick two back, so something close to that would be good enough.

Getting in with 54kg is enough to see his form return.

Stake: 1 Unit
