Here is the predicted track pattern and Best Bet for Flemington’s meeting on Saturday.
TRACK
Good 4
TRACKWALKER INFO
Lanes 1,2 slightly inferior to Lanes 3,4,5. No issue with wider lanes just got to use petrol getting there. Wind may come into play and if it does, it’ll be into the face coming around the turn.
We’d suggest looking for horses that settle forward of midfield or midfield [on genuine tempo] getting cover into the straight and the peeling off heels.
For straight racing the middle lanes will be the place.
CREAM RISES
James McDonald has the best strike rate at Flemington of any hoop heading to headquarters this Saturday.
He’s ridden 10 winners from 45 rides at 22% and you’d backed each of his rides you’d be up around 25% on your investment
BARRIERS
1200m or less – Straight racing, we prefer mid draws in these races
1400m – Straight into the final bend. Two things to consider here – 1. Can get trapped wide very easily and 2. Because of that horses drawn out often go back if they know they won’t be able to cross the field and this takes the speed out of races.
NIC ASHMAN TIP
Race 6 No.4 BANK MAUR [Rated $3.75 currently $5]
“Posted 91 when he resumed behind Jacquinot in the Manfred Stakes. Only one horse in this field has rated 90 or higher and that’s Elliptical, who resumes here. Attrition is flying but we’ve got him rated north of $4 so can’t take the $3.40 currently on offer”
