As the sun starts to peak through the clouds, punters will be warmed with the quality of racing this weekend.
With most top-tier horses having now had a run, form lines are being formed and able to be dissected.
Our resident GTO tipsters have done the form and have lined up their best bets for followers.
Eagle Farm Race 3 Tip #2 Star Of Michelin $8.50
He’s got a great record at the track (8:4-2-0), and now steps up to his pet distance.
After an 11-month layoff, his two runs in have shown he is ready to win.
His natural run-on style got him into a fair bit of trouble last start.
He was impeded in the straight and had to switch course.
He was only 2.1 lengths from the winner and should have finished much closer.
Here’s hoping gun jockey Ryan Maloney, can fulfil his book of rides after being dislodged from Sacred Oath on Wednesday.
Maloney will naturally go back in the field in his normal racing pattern.
The Stuart Kendrick trained 5YO will be getting home hard down the long straight and power over the top of them.
Flemington Race 6 #2 Home Affairs $3.70
Star 3YO who can enhance his already gold-plated record down the Flemington 1200m.
A third Group One win in a row would confirm him as Australia’s most outstanding sprint prospect.
He completed his last campaign with an easy win in the Group One Coolmore Stakes recording a time of 1.08.73 minutes for 1200 metres.
He then resumed with a win in the Black Caviar Lightning defeating Australia’s number one sprinter Nature Strip.
He’s carrying a kilogram less than his Coolmore Stakes win. He’ll also be suited by his barrier draw of 16.
Three-year-old’s have won 11 of the past 23 Newmarket Handicaps.
This looks tailor made for him.
Ascot Race 3 Tip #1 Panzdown $2.10
Panzdown vs Chantorque!
Panzdown returned with a blistering win first up when surprsingly very soft in the market.
He beat a very similar field, including Express Time who won last Saturday.
Panzdown is 4 for 4 over the flying Ascot 1000m.
There will be good tempo in the race with Ziebell and Acromantula.
He can sit just off them and zap them late.
Flemington Race 7 #2 Think it Over $3.00
Keen on the Kerry Parker trained visitor in the Australian Cup.
He has turned into an absolute star from modest beginnings and can further stake his claims as one of Australia’s best with a win at Flemington.
Considering he hates the wet, his latest run on the H10 track at Randwick had plenty of merit.
He spanked his rivals first up in the Apollo Stakes on a good track, which made it five on the bounce when seeing a good surface.
Gets the run of the race here from barrier 4 just behind the speed, and brings the A grade form to the race.
If he handles Flemington he can add another Group 1 to his tally.
