Best Bets
Our Flemington Horse Racing Tips for Saturday’s meeting.
The feature is the Group 3 Aurie’s Star Handicap (race 5).
Nicolini Vito (Flemington Race 8 No. 4)
Nicolini Vito’s performance fresh at 1200m was terrific and he looks very well placed to make it back to back wins here. The extra distance, fitness and map are all in his favour. My only query would be if the track was to reach the heavy range by jump time which at this stage looks unlikely.
$2.30
Each Way
Veranskova (Flemington Race 3 No. 13):
Have always had plenty of time for this lightly raced five year old mare trained by Cindy Alderson. She was an eye catcher here first up over 1000m when rattling home to just miss Squid Game in a photo finish. Has jumped out very nicely in between runs and can settle much closer with a cleaner jump. The extra 100m in distance suits as does the booking of Mark Zahra. May just be better than these?
$4
Best Lay
King Of Sparta (Flemington Race 5 No. 3):
Was a narrow winner of the Bletchingly Stakes at Caulfield a fortnight ago. That was a solid performance but he started $7.50 in that and we are now being asked to take $2.60 in arguably a harder race which may not be run to suit. One of the chances but is not a betting proposition for me at the current quote.

Key Comments Small 7 race card. The best bet is in the last. Expecting those on speed to be suited with the rail true. Best Bet Saiko (Moruya Race 7 No. 2) Can be hard to catch but ticks boxes here. Maps well, goes well at the trip and gets conditions to suit. Doesn't win out of turn but same could be said for most of these. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Halkis (Moruya Race 2 No. 4) Has been around the mark both runs this prep. Weighted very well after the claim and any luck from the draw will be very hard to beat.

Key Comments The feature is the Listed Sheila Gwynne Classic for fillies & mares (race 6). The track is Good and the rail is +5 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Siren Assault (Ascot Race 1 No. 1) This filly won 2 in a row before a game 5th in the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate over 1200m here on 20th April. Provided she can handle the 7 day back-up she will be too good for this field. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. The best bet is halfway through the day and surprised about the odds on offer for it still. Needs to lug weight but is a huge hope against this field. Best Bet Arctic Legend (Tamworth Race 5 No. 2) Steps up in grade but was nothing short of brilliant when resuming from a long break. Suited to this field. Should be able to go right on with things here and

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Isle Eight (Mackay Race 2 No. 1) This gelding from Rockhampton has been runner-up at his last 2 starts there. He tends to get back in his races and runs on. Looks ready to win. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Cerared (Mackay Race 3 No. 6) Cerared placed here 3 starts back, then was a
