Flemington April 25th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Flemington Race 5
1
White Marlin $1.65
The undefeated White Marlin was brave first-up at Sandown, defeating the inform winning machine Right You Are.
The Mastercraftsman gelding needs to keep winning to qualify for our major cups, and he looks well-placed against easier opposition on Tuesday.
The versatile five-year-old has a high cruising speed, and I expect this event to be a mere formality.
He is the real deal, and he has the potential to be competitive in our two cups and a plate during the spring.
Point Nepean can spoil the party for favourite punters first-up from a spell.
The Camelot entire starts the next phase of his career with the Hayes camp, and his best form puts him into winning calculations.
From barrier one, he can roll forward and make his own luck, and if he is left to his own devices, he may cause heart palpitations for the odds-on players.
Next Best - Flemington Race 6
3
Highland Hill $5.00
Highland Hill looks ready to fire in a great edition of the VRC St Leger.
The Highland Reel gelding has been screaming out for the 2800m, and he is a winner previously fourth-up from a spell.
He is nearing a peak performance for the campaign, and I suspect this has event has been a long-range target.
Barrier twelve is the primary concern.
Midnight Glow will start favourite despite not being missed by the handicapper.
The Sebring gelding is racing well this preparation, and he looks tailormade for the longer trip.
His winning strike rate is the biggest concern.
Samuel Langhorne is a must for all broader multiples and exotics.
The Shocking gelding looks talented and has been smashed since markets opened.
Best Roughie - Flemington Race 1

Embeller $10/$2.70
Embeller looks over the odds in the opening event of the day.
The Super One mare is racing well without winning, and she finds a suitable race meeting easier opposition.
Her record at the distance speaks volumes, and Craig Williams has options from a middle gate.
It may pay dividends to watch for any significant market moves.
Snapped will start favourite after a consistent preparation.
The Not A Single Doubt mare was brilliant fresh, and she has raced well since without winning.
I am still deciding if an inside draw is advantageous up the Flemington straight.
Adele Amour must be respected for her fresh form.
The Sebring mare may need some luck with her racing pattern over the sharper 1100m.
