Best Bets – Saturday 8th March

SIRES PRODUCE STAKES

Flemington Race 5 (1400m) 2:20 pm

TYCOON STAR ran home well from back in the field in The Blue Diamond and was only beaten a little over a length. Looks suited to the increase in distance to 1400m and should take a power of holding off at the line.

ALL STAR MILE

Flemington Race 7 (1600m) 3:30 pm

Going with ANOTHER WIL to edge out Mr Brightside again in The All Star Mile. From the low draw, Jamie Melham should camp just off his heels and from there, he should get every opportunity to run him down again.

KEWNEY STAKES

Flemington Race 8 (1600m) 4:10 pm

TREASURETHE MOMENT resumed with classy win last start. The VRC Oaks Stakes winner came back from her spell with an electrifying win first-up at Caulfield. The step up in trip looks ideal and she should win again. 

Newmarket Handicap

Flemington Race 9 (1200m) 4:50 pm

Going to have something each-way on GATSBY’S here in time-honoured Newmarket Handicap down the Flemington straight six. Drawn on the outside of the track and with the lightweight, he should get a nice run into the race and could be the one running all over them at the line.

BUNBURY CUP

Bunbury Race 8 (2019m) 7:41 pm

ANTIQUE MISS won the Detonator Stakes at Ascot last start and meets very similar opposition again. Only needs to run up to that form again and she should be adding the Bunbury Cup to her collection.
