Racing Tips - Saturday Racing Tips for Flemington

Racing returns to headquarters on Saturday on what looks a spectacular day, highlighted by the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes

Best Bet

12. Sheza Alibi

Flemington R8 (4.20pm)

BET NOW

No need to overthink this – in the absence of Autumn Glow, Sheza Alibi looks a moral to record her first win as a mare. The breathtaking Doncaster winner earlier this year lost no admirers when second to Autumn Glow in the Winx and she will be better second up out to her pet trip. Expect something special.

Recommended Price: $1.50
Confidence Level: 5/5

2. Diameter

Flemington R2 (1.10pm)

BET NOW

Diameter switches down to Melbourne following a good first up run – under 61Kg – in the Up and Coming in Sydney. He will be looking for at least a mile so the step up to 1400m second up looks ideal. Will need luck from the inside draw but has a class edge here with his second in the G1 Champagne at the end of last prep. Capable of figuring at big odds.

Recommended Price: $8.00
Confidence Level: 3/5

6. Shockletz

Flemington R5 (2.30pm)

Bet Now

BET NOW

Shockletz can take the next step in her career and secure a Melbourne Cup berth by winning the Archer Stakes. The mare has won both of her previous starts over the 2500m at Flemington and comes off an eye catching fourth last time at Caulfield behind Saint George. That is the key form race for this and she meets a number of her rivals better off at the weights this time.

Recommended Price: $4.40
Confidence Level: 3.5/5

1. Cafe Millennium

Flemington R6 (3.05pm)

Bet Now

BET NOW

Cafe Millennium did nothing first up at Caulfield but he is a much better horse on top of the ground and especially at Flemington where he has won three times over this 1400m trip, including this race last year. Like the booking of Mark Zahra, which suggests he is ready to go today.

Recommended Price: $7.50
Confidence Level: 3/5

18. Mr Verse

Flemington R10 (5.25pm)

Bet Now

BET NOW

Mr Verse is a horse with a huge finish on his day so the wide draw won’t pose any obstacles given his preferred racing pattern. His first two runs this prep have been very solid and he typically peaks third up – having won his last two such runs. The pace looks genuine, so watch for him charging down the outside late.

Recommended Price: $5.00
Confidence Level: 3.5/5
