Flemington will likely be on the worst side of soft, while Ipswich and Rosehill should be good.
Best Bet
Quintello has won two of three this prep and the Maher/Eustace trained mare looks well placed to claim another victory here at Flemington. Matt Cartwright will have to overcome the wide draw but she has sufficient early speed to take a position on speed. If she has any luck early, she wins.
Recommended Price: $2.80
Confidence Level: 4.5/5

Kipling’s Journey is a three year old taking on the older horses but he looks a promising type, particularly on the back of his dominant last start Doomben win. Happy to risk Read My Future back on turf, and with just 52.5Kg, Kipling’s Journey can run over them late.

Born A King returns to Sydney off a last start second placing at Flemington and he should certainly appreciate getting back to his home track, where he has won before, as well as a firm surface. Hugh Bowman should give him the run of the race from barrier two and this looks a winnable affair.

Confidence Level: 3.5/5
Bartholomeu Dias produced an outstanding performance to win at Eagle Farm last start, at just his second run for new trainer Annabel Neasham. His form suggests he should only be better suited at this trip and he looks very well weighted with just 55Kg. Third up, he should still have some improvement in him.

Too Close The Sun typically pulls out a run fresh and the Lindsey Smith trained gelding loves wet ground. His recent jumpout behind Colsridge at St Arnaud suggests he is going as well as ever. From barrier three, Will Price will give him every chance.

El Buena will be carrying the hopes of many as the favourite for the last race and he certainly looks worthy of that confidence. The Chris Waller trained gelding has finished second in both runs back from a spell, Hugh Bowman draws to give him the perfect run in a winnable race.
