The carnival wraps up on Champions Day, with three Group 1 races to be run and won.

Best Bet

7. Kinesiology
Flemington R3 (1.50pm)

Imports have dominated the lower grade staying races this spring and despite being trained by Chris Waller, Kinesiology certainly fits the bill having come through the European summer then Werribee quarantine. Waller scratched him from a much easier race Tuesday to run here.

Recommended Price: $2.80
Confidence Level: 4/5

6. Ceerseven
Flemington R1 (12.40pm)

Happy to play Ceerseven at a price in the first. He put the writing on the wall with a much improved run at Moonee Valley last time and should be at peak fitness now. Ben Melham takes the ride and should be able to position midfield and be strong late.

Recommended Price: $10
Confidence Level: 3/5


1. Front Page
Flemington R4 (2.30pm)

It’s been a while since class sprinter Front Page has been down to Flemington but there is ample evidence he is going even better than when he won here as a three year old, coming off a top run in the Kosciuszko. James McDonald has the ride and wide draws look the place to be.

Recommended Price: $4.00
Confidence Level: 3.5/5


5. Bella Nipotina
Flemington R6 (3.50pm)

Despite her age, Bella Nipotina appears to be in career best form having won the Everest two back when wide throughout then bolting in the Russell Balding last time. Crucially, she is advantaged by the barrier draw so Craig Williams can have her in a prime position on the outside rail.

Recommended Price: $4.20
Confidence Level: 4/5


14. Antino
Flemington R7 (5.10pm)

Antino went to a new level in the Toorak Handicap, admittedly being helped by a top ride but also running brilliant time in the process. Whether he can back that up is the question, but unlike many of these he has been set for this race and can peak once again on the day.

Recommended Price: $5.00
Confidence Level: 3/5
