MELBOURNE CUP DAY – FLEMINGTON 🍻
Big Fields and many chances in many races. I would suggest just small plays if you are betting today.
(R7, the Cup is in a seperate post on it's own).
Race 1
No opinion in this race. If I had to have my arm twisted, I'd go with Number 1 – Royal Press.🥈
Race 2
(TIP WAS SCRATCHED).
Race 3
Star of Macedon – $3.60
Looks the right race third-up with Shinn aboard.
Race 4
Impossible race. No opinion.
Race 5
After Summer – $12.00 / $4.00 🥉(If you took the tote $8 the place 👊)
Small win, medium place.
SRM: 10, 4, 9.
Race 6
Wymark – $14.00 / $3.40
I think at those odds, and the way he won last start, it's definitely worth an each-way play.
SRM: 7, 6, 10.
Race 8
Our Emperor – $12.00 / $3.00
Looks all set for this race, although the favourite will be very hard to beat.
SRM: 3, 5, 2.
Race 9
Gold Medalist – $11.00 / $3.50
By this time of the day, hopefully they're able to swoop and there's enough speed in the race for her to be coming home late.
SRM: 11, 2, 1.
Small saver on number 1.
Race 10
Hard to see the favourite getting beaten. $3.70 is probably a fair price, but I'd probably stay away from this race.
