Flemington racing tips
—
There was a lot of hype around She’s an Artist after winning her first two starts, including an excellent win down the Flemington straight.
The bubble burst last start when running second behind Bridal Waltz, but she has been spelled, and she could return a winner.
Barrier five down the straight is a good place to be, and we’re happy to include her in picks.
Stake: 2 Units
Tycoon Star got back to his best form with a big win in the Vain Stakes, and that form should hold up nicely for this race.
The three-year-old colt got the better of some smart types, including McGaw, and he should get every chance in the run down the straight.
We expect money to come for him on race day.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Vinrock was disappointing at face value last start, but he is being aimed at longer races, so 1400m should be right up his alley.
The Matt Laurie stable is confident with the three-year-old colt by I Am Invincible, and he only needs some cover from a wide barrier.
He won his only second-up start, so we expect a fine bounce back to form.
Stake: 2 Units
Barrier 20 could put some punters off, but it’s not a bad barrier down the straight, so include her in picks.
The grey filly by I Am Invincible gets back in her races before storming home, as she did when running second at Caulfield.
She has since won a trial, so she looks primed and ready to fire on Saturday.
Stake: 1 Unit
We are happy to stick with Gerringong, who tried to lead all the way at Caulfield last time out, which isn’t her usual tactic.
The four-year-old mare is better when being saved for one last run, as she showed when running second at Eagle Farm and Ipswich last preparation.
She deserves a win, and although this race is tough, she’s good enough to score.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Despite not winning last preparation, Steparty ran good races behind the likes of Marble Arch, Another Wil, and Schwarz.
That’s excellent form for this level of racing, and the five-year-old son of Artie Schiller is a two-time winner at Flemington, which is a bonus.
Given his record, which includes a Group 1 placing, his class could prevail.
Stake: 2 Units
Revelare knows how to win races, including a gutsy win at Caulfield last time out.
The Robert Hickmott-trained gelding is in good hands to win staying races, and with seven wins from 10 starts, he’s a smokey for the Melbourne Cup.
He needs to beat fields of this quality, and we’re happy to put him top.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Race 8. (16:20) Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) – GROUP 1
Read our full Makybe Diva Stakes preview here – including best bets, trifecta and first four picks!
We love backing him, and it was good to see him open his spring account with a win at Randwick at generous odds.
The four-year-old daughter of Snitzel owns four wins from 11 starts, and she could have easily had a few more wins on her record.
It’s a red-hot stakes field, but she could sneak under the radar.
Stake: 2 Units
Globe has the benefit of race day experience this preparation when running second at The Valley behind Hard to Cross.
The seven-year-old son of Charm Spirit owns five wins and three placings from 12 starts, so there isn’t much wrong with his record.
It’s an open field, but he should give punters a good sight.
Stake: 1.5 Units
