2nd – 5 Marmelo

3rd – 22 Rekindling

4th – 2 Almandin

Best Bets

Race 2 No. 8 Miles Of Krishan

Handy mare, fitter for 2 runs back from a spell. This 5 year old is a recent addition to the Hayes/Dabernig stable and finished off nicely over the 1400 metres last start. She will relish the extra distance and from a good draw should get the run of the race. Looks a nice each way play.

Race 4 No. 16 Ubin Thunderstruck

Has been a revelation since joining the Darren Weir stable and looks a legitimate chance here. The 5 year old has had a long preparation but continues to thrive on recent racing and looked unlucky when 3rd over 2400 metres last start at Geelong. While he steps up in class drops in weight and is rock hard fit to run out the 2800 metres. At each way odds and should run well.

Race 5 No. 8 Nature Strip

Promising Three Year Old who looks well placed here. The Robert Smerdon trained galloper scored a big win on debut after covering a lot of ground over 1000 metres at Mornington before a luckless second over 1000 metres at Moonee Valley. The son of Nicconi will be better suited on the spacious Flemington circuit. Looks the best bet of the day.
