Deane’s Saturday Flemington Best Bets Posted on May 18, 2018 | Posted by Deane Lester Deane Lester’s Preview RACE 3 NO. 14 ÉCLAIR CALLING ÉCLAIR CALLING is an exciting type from the Philip Stokes stable that should prove hard to beat when he contests the Benchmark 78 Handicap (1600m). The four year old didn’t have much luck but still finished strongly for 2nd behind FLYING MURTY over 1400 metres at Caulfield on April 28. He will relish a step up in distance on the spacious Flemington track from a good draw and gets the services of talented rider Noel Callow, who will get the best out of the son of Tartan Bearer who appeals as one of the best bets of the day. SuperPick - RACE 3 NO. 14 ÉCLAIR CALLING - Win Boost RACE 5 NO. 1 BOOM TIME Last year’s Caulfield Cup winner BOOM TIME is enjoying a cameo late autumn campaign and looks the one to beat when he runs in the Poitrel Hall of Fame Trophy (2000m). The Hayes/ Dabernig trained stallion resumed from a spell with a luckless 2nd behind TARQUIN over 1800 metres at Flemington on May 5. He covered a lot of ground on that occasion so his run was full of merit and he’ll derive great benefit from that run. He has a class edge on his rivals and, with the benefit of Lachlan King’s 3kg claim, should prove too good for this field. RACE 9 NO. 1 ICONOCLASM ICONOCLASM is building a fine record and can continue on his winning way when he tackles the Chris Waller Hall Of Fame Trophy (1600m). The son of Toorak Toff has won four of his six starts to date including two recent victories over 1400 metres at Flemington in recent weeks. He is ready to step up in distance and should race close to the speed over this trip. Leading apprentice Ethan Brown maintains the ride and ICONOCLASM should make his own luck and prove too strong again. Bet Now
