Best Bets – Saturday 17th May

ANDREW RAMSDEN

FLEMINGTON Race 7 (2800m) 3:30 pm

BERKSHIRE BREEZE found the line well last time in the Mornington Cup after getting well back in the run. He likes Flemington and although drawn deep, hopefully can get into the running line at some stage and should take some holding off last 200m.

L.V.LACHAL HANDICAP

FLEMINGTON Race 8 (1600m) 4:10 pm

WINGS OF SONG is third-up and should be ready to produce. Has won four times over the trip and comes into this race with a lightweight thanks to the claim for Tom Prebble. Look for her to be winding up late and running over them final stages.

DOOMBEN 10000

DOOMBEN Race 8 (1200m) 4:02 pm

With the expected speed on in this Group 1, SUNSHINE IN PARIS should get the right run in this race. She is drawn off the track but with a hectic speed on, gaps will likely appear for her to get some cover. She is very strong at the finish of her races and she can add another Group 1 to her resume’.

ROUGH HABIT PLATE

DOOMBEN Race 9 (2000m) 4:38 pm

FIRM AGREEMENT has been very consistent of late without winning. He ran second in the ATC Derby then the Frank Packer Plate over the Sydney Carnival. He handles all sorts of going and this could be the race he finally breaks back into the winners stall.

MRS MACS HANDICAP

BELMONT Race 5 (1600m) 2:34 pm

Will stick with TRIO to back up from winning last time out at Ascot and get the money again. Pike had to throw everything at him to get the money and he raced like he needed further but with the freshen up, he should be hard to beat again.
