Deane Lester’s Flemington Best Bets Posted on May 15, 2020 | Posted by Deane Lester RACE 2 NO.9 MISS BOSETTI The 2YO Plate (1000m) looks a race full of promising types which will provide a competitive race, however MISS BOSETTI makes appeal at each way odds. The daughter of Snitzel has only had one start for a luckless 6th behind the stakes performed RIVERINA STORM over 1100 metres at Geelong on January 26. The Team Snowden trained filly was immediately spelled after that run and showed that she is back in very good form with a sharp trial win over 800 metres at Flemington on April 24. She has the tactical speed to make her own luck and a bold showing can be expected. RACE 8 NO.1 ACHERNAR STAR ACHERNAR STAR should be close to peak fitness and looks the one to beat when he contests the Open Handicap (1400m). The five year old indicated that he is close to a win with a brave 2nd behind the highly promising BUFFALO RIVER over 1400 metres at Sandown Lakeside on May 2. He is a horse that always flies the start and should make his own luck in this race. He gets a 3kg allowance for apprentice rider Lewis German which makes him attractively weighted and ACHERNAR STAR represents the best bet on a very tough program. RACE 9 NO.6 STAND TO ATTENTION The best longshot of the day is STAND TO ATTENTION in the 3YO Handicap (1400m). The Team Corstens trained gelding has endured mixed fortunes this preparation since kicking off with a dominant win over 1100 metres at Kilmore three starts back. At his last run, the son of Starspangledbanner settled too far back from a wide draw but hit the line hard when finishing 4th behind SAVAQUIN over 1400 metres at Warrnambool on May 6. He recorded some of the best late sectionals of the day so his run was full of merit. Elite rider Dwayne Dunn takes the ride and STAND TO ATTENTION represents terrific value. Market Market
