Online bookmaker Palmerbet’s racing traders take a look at this weekends racing across the country and give their best bets with their focus on Flemington.
Race 3
I get the feeling that CHERRY TORTONI will really peak when he gets out to the 1600m which he finds here. He was dominant when he pounced at the 200m to win last start and that made it two soft wins from as many starts.
Always an advantage for the juveniles to have been around the circuit and he looked to relish the big wide open spaces of the Flemington track last start and although drawn a little awkwardly he can win again.
Has the inform Billy Egan aboard and when he teams up with Patrick Payne they are always hard to beat.
Does step out to Listed company and this his toughest test but looking to use the Push on this gelding which should give us some attractive odds for this unbeaten juvenile.
Race 5
The Palmerbet Race Rescue could be used in any race at Flemington as this is a tough meeting to contend with for punters.
Going with the Albury trained gelding LORD VON COSTA to give this a big shake at decent odds.
In the capable hands of Victorian premiership leading Craig Williams and his recent form suggests he will be competitive in this field.
He was beaten less than a length when just missed placing over the 1100m down the Flemington straight last start.
Gets an extra 100m third-up from spell and he is yet to finish further back than second in any of his three third-up tries.
Will not mind if there is a bit of cut in the ground and would not be surprised to see him finish all over these final stages.
