Deane’s Saturday Flemington Best Bets Posted on March 16, 2018March 16, 2018 | Posted by Deane Lester Deane Lester’s Preview RACE 1 NO. 1 FRENCH EMOTION FRENCH EMOTION resumes from a spell when she runs in the Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour Trophy (1200m) and appears to have a distinct class edge on her rivals. The Chris Waller trained mare didn’t win in three runs during spring but contested high class mares races and wasn’t disgraced at any of her runs. Her two recent jump-outs at Flemington would suggest that she is primed for a big first-up run and she is very well weighted under the set weights and penalties conditions of this event. Elite rider Ben Melham takes the ride and FRENCH EMOTION looks the best value runner at the Flemington meeting. SuperPick - RACE 1 NO. 1 FRENCH EMOTION - Win Boost RACE 3 NO. 5 DEMERARA DEMERARA has returned to racing in great form and looks the one to beat again when she contests the Hoppegarten Racing Trophy (1100m). The daughter of Commands is building an impressive record of four wins from six starts to date including a dominant first-up win over 1000 metres at Moonee Valley on February 23. On that occasion, she easily accounted for HOLY BLADE, who was an impressive winner at Sandown on Wednesday. She is drawn for an ideal run down the Flemington straight and appeals as the best bet of the day. RACE 8 NO. 3 TOP OF THE RANGE The Curragh Racecourse Handicap (1600m) looks the ideal race for progressive four year old TOP OF THE RANGE to continue on his winning way. The Michael Moroney trained gelding has only had two runs this campaign for an impressive last start win over 1600 metres at Caulfield on February 21. He has won two of his three runs at this distance and looks to have more upside than his rivals in this race. Patrick Moloney has built a fine rapport with the son of Savabeel who looks poised to record his four career win from just nine starts. Bet Now
