Flemington Best Bet: R9 N6 Spirit Of Gaylard

Was very strong after luckless run the the MV Vase. 4th emergency for the Derby but failed to get a start. He’s got a lot of talent.

Flemington Next Best: R4 N1 Best Of Days

High class gelding who has been competitive with horses like Sierra Sue and Superstorm this prep. Has to lug the 60kgs but gets favourable track conditions.

Flemington Best Value: R5 N10 Ocean Beyond

Moral beaten first up before being beaten by a smart one Lombardo last start. That form is good enough to be competitive here.

Race 1: Wilbury 1, Brereton 2, Quinlan 3, Renosu 4.

Race 2: Wil John 1, Team Captain 2, Dragon Storm 3, Accountability 4.

Race 3: Excelman 1, Standoff 2, Housay 3, Not To Be Mist 4.

Race 4: Best Of Days 1, Lord Vladivostok 2, Charleise 3, Milton Park 4.

Race 5: Ocean Beyond 1, Blondeau 2, Lackeen 3, Pindaric 4.

Race 6: Bacchanalia 1, Enthaar 2, Profiteer 3, Magic Max 4.

Race 7 Melbourne Cup: Spanish Mission 1, Incentivise 2, Verry Elleegant 3, Pondus 4.

Race 8: Promise Of Success 1, April Rain 2, Belle Plaisir 3, Aidensfield 4.

Race 9: Spirit Of Gaylard 1, Zoumon 2, Maracana 3, Oenology 4.

Race 10: Prime Candidate 1, Pandemic 2, Curran 3, Yulong Storm 4.

Echuca Best Bet: R3 N5 Alverdun

Lost lengths coming around the home turn at Mornington on debut before picking up and hitting the line strongly. Clearly the one to beat here.

Echuca Next Best: R4 N4 Frankenstar

Looked every bit of a stayer winning on second start for Kath Durden at Warrnambool. Will eat up every bit of the 3200m, gets a senior jock on board. Some of his main rivals look like they would prefer it wetter.

Echuca Best Value: R1 N12 Bluegrass Bijoux

Debutant who won a trial under the tutelage of Price/Kent Jnr in June, has since been ridden out to score impressive jumpout win for the Ledgers. Very green and raw but has ability.
