Flemington August 2nd, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Flemington Race 7

Splash Back $2.50
Splash Back is a winning machine.
The Le Havre mare is looking to make it three wins on the bounce, and she looks incredibly well placed in this company.
Her latest victory at Flemington was visually stunning, and the lightly raced seven-year-old is racing in career-best form.
The Grahame Begg camp finally has the big girl happy and healthy, and with even luck in transit, I expect her to continue on her winning ways.
The drop back to 1200m is the slight query.
King Of Roseau is too consistent to pot.
The Capitalist gelding is building a picket fence next to his name, and he arrives in Melbourne with some serious Sydney form under is belt.
His versatility is exceptional, and he possesses a devastating and significant turn of foot.
I am unsure the famous straight-six will suit his racing pattern and style.

Zou Sensation $3.20
Zou Sensation is an absolute winner.
The Zoustar gelding is notching up victories for fun at present, and he meets the usual suspects on Saturday.
His record at the trip must be respected, and the handicapper has missed him under the weight scale.
The inform Jamie Melham has a winning association with the talented seven-year-old and has been heavily supported in most all-in markets.
If he is presented with his run at the right time, his rivals may be racing for the minor end of the prize.
Munhamek is ready to win.
The old boy very rarely runs a poor race, and I suspect he is edging closer to his next victory.
His record at the track and trip is outrageous, and the form around him has repeatedly stood up.
He keeps finding one or two better at the pointy end of the contest.

He'll Rip $11.00/$3.50
He’ll Rip is over the odds.
The Hellbent gelding is coming off a forgive run with genuine excuses, and his form prior was rock-solid.
The 2kg apprentice claim plays into his favour, and he traditionally performs well at headquarters.
The step out to a mile suits at this stage of his campaign, and I expect him to pilot the field with a positive break from the barriers.
He may look the winner as they enter the long Flemington home straight.
Outta Compton will have supporters after producing a successful preparation to date.
The Artie Schiller gelding is poised to strike from the perfect inside draw, and the 3kg claim brings him into all winning conversations.
The consistent seven-year-old should be rock-hard fit, and I suspect his quote will continue to shorten before the jump.
His racing pattern and style will always require an element of good fortune.
