Flemington - Race 2 2000m 12:20 AEDT
VERRY ELLEEGANT ($2.05)
Had excuses two back when narrowly defeated by the talented Amphitrite at Flemington. Last start out to 2000m for the first time and won well, notably one of the only horses to make up ground from the back all day. Will be fitter 2nd go at 2000m and the Flemington track is more likely to suit.
Flemington - Race 3 1200m 13:00 AEDT
OSBORNE BULLS ($3.30)
This is a very weak race compared to The Everest, where he flashed down the very outside to grab third. This horse can run some very slick Group 1 sectionals and despite having to haul the top weight, I’m confident with the right run that he will be mowing them down in the last 100m.
Rosehill - Race 8 1200m 16:55 AEDT
CRADLE MOUNTAIN ($2.40)
Has a terrific first up record (3: 2-1-0) which he’ll look to build on today. Has had two trials leading into this so we can be confident he will be ready to go first up. Was extremely disappointing in his last start as $1.90F, but Vets examination showed he pulled up lame. Confident trainer will have him ready here.
Bluey's Best Value
Flemington - Race 1 1600m 11:45 AEDT
QUACKERJACK ($16.00)
Looks to be a talented type (8: 3-0-0), including an impressive last start win at Randwick over 1600m. Was well backed that day so money could tell the story. Comes down to Flemington here and although this race is much harder, $16 looks far too big for a horse with his talent.
