Flemington Cup
We’re back at Flemington this Saturday with the Flemington Cup over 2800m having the most prize money on offer. There could be a bit of rain around on the day but the track should come up in the soft range with luck. Let’s try and find the winner.
Speed Map
Horrifying has been reported to go forward and give them something to catch so expect him to be positive. Pappalino and Through Irish Eyes would probably prefer to be on speed. Bit of a lottery for the rest considering the distance but expect them to be clumped pretty close together.
Key Runners
1:
Southern France
Hasn’t won a race since the Zipping Classic in 2019. Could bob up for a place but happy to pass.
2:
Sweet Thomas
The old boy keeps fronting up and has decent form for this. Liked the Brisbane Cup run. Good place odds.
3:
Through Irish Eyes
Came 2nd in the Brisbane Cup in a tight finish. This looks a bit easier. Kah on. Great chance.
4:
Pappalino
Hasn’t shown much this prep to look like a real chance in this race.
5:
Mimi’s Award
Has been the drifter since the market’s opened. Won last start but lost on a protest. Have to respect but would prefer $6.
6:
Horrifying
Stable wants a positive ride and not to be back and buried. There’s enough variables to risk at the short price.
7:
Saint Eustace
Has copped a bit of bad luck over his career. Place chance. Monitor the betting.
9:
Blandford Lad
Decent enough form over the jumps but probably just a level below here.
