Here are the expected track patterns, conditions and banker bets for Derby Day at Flemington and Golden Eagle day at Rosehill on Saturday.
Our banker bets are based solely on standout ratings across their last 3 starts.
FLEMINGTON
TOTAL STARTERS: 139
TRACK: Soft 7
WEATHER: 1-3mm of rain forecast but it's due to hit eastern side of city.
TRACKWALKER: Mostly even but lane 1 inferior, lane 2 slightly better but lanes 3+ are better again. As there's advantage being wide are forecasting the best spot to settle is just off the pace blending into the race three, four and five wide into the straight.
BANKER: R8 #14 LA CRIQUE
ROSEHILL
TOTAL STARTERS: 164
TRACK: Good 4
WEATHER: Sunny 26 degrees
TRACKWALKER: Lanes 1-3 inferior. Lanes 4,5 better and lane 6 better again. We are forecasting the best settling position is with cover. As they come into the straight you want to be edging out into clear running and then making your run. The best spot to launch your attack is around lane 6.
BANKER: R8 #12 LIGHT INFANTRY
