Eagle Farm Race 7 Tip #1 Just Orm $7.50
This Tony Gollan trained gelding was a certainty beaten last start after getting bumped from pillar to post behind Sugar Boom.
He was denied clear run until the final 100 metres in that clash, but really got going late to only miss by a neck in the end.
He meets that mare again here and although he's worse off at the weights, the impost won't be significant over the short 1000m trip.
At the start prior he was luckless again after not getting enough racing room in the straight to let down and build momentum.
The winner on that occasion, Hard Empire, won a Group 3 last week at Doomben so that form also reads well.
There has also been a significant jockey change as a result of this galloper's recent misfortunes. Ryan Maloney takes that reigns, and he rode him to back-to-back victories in August.
Maloney will keep a similar position in running, midfield off the pace, and hopefully steer the right passage home this time.
The son of Falvelon has been in career best form of late and can definitely get back into the winner's circle.
Flemington Race 7 Tip #1 Bandersnatch $2.80
The gelding flew home to win first-up at Moonee Valley after being in an awkward position.
His Sydney form was in much better company than what he faces here and from barrier one, he can take up a position on the speed.
At his best, he is a level above this opposition and should account for them.
Ascot Race 2 Tip #7 Sheza Chalmer $2.20
Sheza Chalmer was the replay run of the meeting at Bunbury late last month.
In that clash, she settled back in the field on a leader dominant day and just blew her rivals away with an electric turn of foot.
Third place finisher in that race, Fair Justice, franked that form with a strong win at Ascot on Wednesday.
Prior to that start, Sheza Chalmer beat Testing Love to win her maiden. That galloper won well at her next start, further strengthening the form-line of this filly.
From barrier 4 here, Carberry should be able to hold a spot in the first half of the field on what should be a moderate tempo.
I look forward to seeing this progressive filly go through her gears and put this field away.
Flemington Race 1 Tip #7 Ranveer $2.25
I thought this colt would be hard to beat in the reverse Ballarat race, but he was a late scratching.
He has shown plenty of ability at the jump outs, including a run around at Mornington since the recent scratching.
He looks to be a natural runner and you can expect him to be up on the speed and prove hard to hold out.
