The traditional New Year’s Day meeting at Flemington has been shifted to New Years Eve, with two black type races on the eight race program.
Best Bet
Leg Drive is in terrific form at present and can win again. The Matt Laurie trained gelding has won two of his last three races including a dominant all the way win last time at Cranbourne. This race is only a no metro win so not a huge jump in class and he draws to get the right run on the speed once again.
Recommended Price: $3.50
Confidence Level: 4/5

The way Persian Spirit is going he could be a nice lightweight chance in a race like the Stradbroke and he can keep his winning form intact in this lesser contact. He looked in trouble at the 400m last time at Pakenham but surged late to win well. This isn’t much tougher and his record at Flemington is superb.
Recommended Price: $1.85
Confidence Level: 4/5
Star Vega showed he is back to his best form with a a very good second placing in the Pakenham Cup last start. He is a horse who will relish the 2800m and while his form is mixed over longer trips, when viewed through the prism that he hates wet ground, it makes sense. Will likely get back as he is wont to do but can be strong late.
Recommended Price: $4.00
Confidence Level: 3/5
Shaalute is a big price here but looks like the kind of horse that should appreciate this kind of race, a big field down the straight with lots of speed on. He can rattle off a very quick sectional and if things unfold like I expect for him, he can be right in the finish.
Recommended Price: $15
Confidence Level: 3/5
