Race 7 – The Emirates Stakes – 1600m Open Group 1 Hcp
The Betfair Insider (view full article)
Profiling the race we learn the following:
– 2 of past 5 winners have used Cox Plate as lead up run
– 2 of past 5 winners have been SP Favourites
– 3 of past 5 winners have carried 55.5kg or less
– 5 of past 5 winners have started in barrier 9 or closer
Major Players:
Lucky Hussler – Impossible to knock all 4 starts this preparation and will appreciate speed on. Profile is against horses up in weights and this shapes as a high rating renewal of the race. He’ll get a dream run in transit but prefer him at smaller turning tracks and on good rated tracks.
Arod – World Class miler who looked poorly placed in the G1 Cox Plate. He went forward early sitting outside The Cleaner. He never looked comfortable running 15 lengths above the benchmark to the 600m mark. He’ll push across from a wide gate and lead or sit outside Turn Me Loose. I expect him to improve dramatically and $11 in early markets looks big overlay. Ran 2nd to The Grey Gatsby in the G2 Dante Stakes in May last year on a soft track so don’t rule him out on rain affected ground.
Turn Me Loose – Undefeated at 1600m and did it both ends in the G2 Crystal Mile at Moonee Valley last start. Had the right barrier and track bias played heavily his advantage but did set a hot tempo to the 600m mark 13 lengths above benchmark. Meets Bow Creek 1.5kgs worse at the weights but the wet track evens things up for him.
Bow Creek – Hard not to be impressed by his first Australian start in the G2 Crystal Mile last start beaten half a length to Turn Me Loose. Was slowly away so will need to jump cleanly here to take up a good position with some other speed drawn to his outside. His last 200m was eye catching but he did have speed on to suit. Mounting yard watches reported him to be large in condition so expect improvement. He hasn’t seen many wet tracks but his breeding suggests he will handle it.
Magic Artist – Failed to quicken in the G1 Bayerisches in Munich under 60kgs beaten 2.25 lengths 5th two starts ago. The changed to the Andreas Wohler’s yard a positive one, producing a big performance off a 97 day break when unlucky not to win last Saturdays G1 Mackinnon Stakes 2000m. He was held up multiple times in the straight beaten a length. He still managed the fastest last 200 split in 11.92 albeit in the fast lane. He’s never won at 1600m or on a soft track.
Ecuador – Two starts back beaten only 2.3 lengths to Winx in the Epsom with 56kg. Followed that up with 6th in the Mackinnon after being stopped in his tracks 350m from home. When clear he kept grinding away and if the track stays wet he could be the last man standing at huge odds.
Amovatio – Run in the Crystal Mile much better than it appeared when few horses made ground from well back. He didn’t profile well for that run and his mid race sectionals suggest he’ll come on significantly 3rd up to a mile here. Drops 6kg from WFA and if they go to too hard in front he’ll fly late. Knockout.
Politeness – Amazing training performance from Robert Smerdon to turn this mare around from a disappointing autumn preparation. Handled the rise from 1200m to 1600m to win the G1 Myer with ease. Last two wins have been off 3 week breaks making the week back up some query. Drops 4kg now taking on the males but looks well found at $11-12 in early markets.
Rock Sturdy – Has been in great form this preparation. His first two starts beaten around 2 lengths to class sprinter’s Rebel Dane and Terravista over the unsuitable distances of 1100 and 1200m. Didn’t handle Caulfield but was an OK run in the G3 Moogna Stakes which is a proven lead up run for this. Backed up a week later in the Fliante Handicap at Randwick when wide beaten under a length to Frespanol carrying 60kgs. He did plenty of work early and if he can get cover off a wide gate here he’s well in with 52.5kg. Has been $9.50 into $6.50 to place which is still OK value.
Betting Activity:
BACK – WIN – Arod – Happy to back him at $10-12 on a Soft 6 or better.
BACK – PLACE – Rock Sturdy – Early punters are set at $9.50. $5+ is still good value.

The Emirates Stakes (Race 7) is the last group 1 in Cup week and there many different form lines and chances in this open handicap. Politeness was superb here on Derby day defying the track bias and defeating a quality group of fillies and mares in the Group 1 Myer Classic over this distance. Handicap conditions suit her and she should get a similar run here and will be charging home late and be hard to hold out. The kiwi visitor Turn Me Loose has really made a big impression here in Oz culminating in a Group 1 victory last start over the mile at the Valley. He will be dictating up front and will be in the finish. If that race is a good reference then Bow Creek will be in the finish as well. He was very impressive in his first Australian start and will definitely improve on the bigger Flemington track. Magic Artist will be in every punters black book and must go in all exotics and quaddies.
Tips: 11 (Politeness), 3 (Turn Me Losse), 4 (Bow Creek), 6 (Magic Artist)
Lucy Henderson from Ladbrokes (view full article)
The day’s marquee race has attracted a final field of 16 and there are a host of genuine hopes in this handicap clash. Top of the weights with 58kg is Lucky Hussler who ran second last year and is back to go one better on the back of a third in the Group 2 Crystal Mile (1600m) carrying a kilo more. Murray Baker’s Crystal Mile winner Turn Me Loose is also running on Saturday and drops two kilos making him a big hope of a third straight win over the mile. UK raider Arod is out wide in barrier 15 looking to improve on his Cox Plate 11th over further, while Crystal mile runner-up Bow Creek represents John O’Shea in the import’s second run down under. Disposition also shapes up as a big chance on the back of stunning form with back-to-back Group 1 seconds and then the Group 3 Chatham Stakes (1400m) win at Flemington on Derby Day.

THE TRACK
The track is currently a Heavy 8 (Thursday) with further showers forecast for Friday.
It’s unlikely there will be any rain on Saturday, which will help the track start to dry out but it will still be well and truly rain affected, so wet track ability is important.
While we’ve seen the fence heavily favoured on Derby and Melbourne Cup Day, a soft track Oaks Day meeting leading up to this and the prospect of the track chopping out a bit should even up the straight a little… at least we hope so!
LUCKY HUSSLER
He ran to a 105.9 level two starts ago when he won the Toorak Hcp, settling back off a strong pace and running particularly fast overall time. It was an almost identical scenario to what we can expect from the pace and pressure in this race. However last start he produced an uncharacteristically flat run. There’s no doubt he was not suited by the bias on the day trying to make ground off the fence, but he still had the opportunity to do more. It’s reasonable to think he’ll bounce back here with a good run, but some allowance has to be made for that last start. Even if I take a very optimistic view and push him back to that 105.9 peak from two starts ago, it leaves him very competitive, but vulnerable to one of the others with prospects to push past the 106 rating level.
AROD
He raced too keenly in the Cox Plate and ran well and truly below his level of overseas form. That makes him very difficult to assess here because the ratings from his 3 runs prior to coming to Australia (1600-1700) are well and truly good enough to win this race with 57.5kg.
It’s impossible to assess him at that level though after what we saw last start, the prospect of much more pressure in this race than he’s ever experienced before and the fact that he is a big question mark on soft ground. His overall talent has to be respected, but I’m happy to bet around him.
TURN ME LOOSE
He’s been flying in his last two, leading at a strong pace and kicking on to win and run fast overall time. Both of those performances bring him into this race with a 104.7 rating, which is close enough to the competitive mark, but the big question is whether he can run to a new peak of 106+ that is likely needed to actually win this race.
One unknown at this stage which will most certainly affect his chances is how the track plays. Both at Seymour and definitely at Moonee Valley last start he was well suited by a pattern favouring horses closer to the fence / lead. If the track for this race turns out to be more even or even off fence in the wet conditions then that would take away from his prospects.
I can’t totally rule out a new peak run and being out in front means he’s the one the others all have to catch, but I do favour some of the others as more likely to push into that 106-107 range and for that reason I find it hard to see any betting appeal.
BOW CREEK
He comes off an excellent Australian debut when a fast finishing 2nd to Turn Me Loose last start in the Crystal Mile. He was unlucky in that race when briefly held up behind a tiring horse at a crucial stage, which makes his 105.1 rating out of that run carry the merit of around a 106 level performance. That’s right on the winning mark for this race and with a similar pace scenario there’s every reason to be confident he’ll run to a similar level here, if not better. Soft ground seems no problem… he’s a top chance here with a nice profile worth betting.
DISPOSITION
He’s been extremely consistent this preparation with two wins and two Group 1 second placings, including the Toorak Handicap behind Lucky Hussler two runs ago. He has two peak runs at the 106.5 rating level, but so far this preparation he’s maxed out with a peak of 104.1, which can be thereabouts in this race, but won’t be good enough to win. I can’t totally discount that he could find something extra to get back to the 106.5 performance level, but he has had every chance in recent runs so I have to focus more on those ratings.
MAGIC ARTIST
He ran to a 105 rating level in the McKinnon Stakes behind Gailo Chop last Saturday and was very unlucky over the last 400m without clear galloping room at various stages, especially in the last 75m. That puts him conservatively at a 106 rating and potentially higher for this race. The pace was just even in the 2000m McKinnon Stakes and although he drops back to 1600m here, he gets a race with fast early pace, which looks ideal. His strength at 2000m can be a key asset over the closing stages of a brutal 1600m test and there’s no evidence to say a soft track will be a problem. He has nice betting appeal.
ROCK STURDY
He’s one longshot in this race that does look to offer genuine value. His last start run over 1600m at Randwick with 60kg was excellent… he sat 3W with no cover handy to a strong speed and kept fighting all the way to the finish to finish 0.8 length 2nd in a fast overall time rating.
Coming into this race with 52.5kg presents him with a 105.5 rating off that last start run, which is consistent with his peak form from the early part of last Spring where he produced a number of performances around that level. He may not have the scope to push much higher than that, but he’ll handle soft ground, is proven in high pressure races and comes off a run at a level that could see him competitive. He offers great longshot value.
HE OR SHE
Ratings are significantly below the standard that will be needed to win this. It would be a big surprise if he was competitive.

Race 6 – The Darley Classic – 1200m Open Group 1 WFA
The Betfair Insider (view full article)
Profiling the race we learn the following:
– 2 of past 5 winners SP Favourites
– 5 of past 5 winners have used G1 or G2 Manikato 1200m as lead up run
– 3 of past 5 winners Colts or Geldings, Black Caviar only Mare (2010 &2011)
– 1 of past 5 winners have been 4th up
Major Players:
Buffering – Had conditions to suit last start in the G1 Manikato at Moonee Valley but was no match for the winner, beaten 3.55 lengths. Will handle sting out of ground and if Damien Browne can find the right lane on him he can sneak in for a place at best. Won this race 2 years ago but this looks a much stronger edition.
Chautauqua – Unbeaten at three starts this preparation and has freakish ability to win from almost any position in running. Clocked the fastest last 600 to win the G1 Manikato at his last start, home his last 600 34.00 400 23.20 200 11.74. They only went out 2.3 lengths above benchmark to the 600m but despite that could still overhaul the leaders. This time last year proved he could sprint off a hot tempo to win the G2 Gilgai and was a narrow runner up in this race last year. Has won 3 of 5 starts this track and trip. Won the G1 TJ Smith on a Soft 7 in autumn. Profile is slightly against horses 4th up.
Boban – Chris Waller unlocked the key to this gelding keeping him fresh since autumn to win the G1 Doomben 10,000 over 1350m and more recently the G1 Memsie Stakes 1400m. He races best off slow to moderate tempo races which is unlikely to be the case here. Of his 11 starts 9 of them have been on good tracks so anything worse than a soft 5 would end his chances.
Terravista – Jumped awkwardly last start and didn’t have clear running from the 400-100m mark in the G1 Manikato. Is a big track horse and needs plenty of time to wind up and won this race last year off similar circumstances. Loves sting out of the ground and profiles like the winner. Hugh Bowman will need to produce a gun ride from barrier one.
Delectation – Flying this time in. Had no luck last start in the G2 Sprint over 1200m last weekend at Flemington beaten 1.1 lengths to Éclair Choice. He was held up between the 400-200m mark with the race over when he could see daylight. The start prior he ran Chautauqua to a length in the G2 Gilgai stakes this track and trip running a blistering final 600m in 32.92 400 22.00 200 11.62 only bettered by the winner. With the track now a soft 6 and more rain forecast Friday he’s the runner that will be most advantaged in the best part of the track.
Srikandi – Great run 1st up in the G1 Manikato when wide throughout. She’s unbeaten on slow and heavy surfaces but needs to go to a new level to win here. The inside draw is heavily against her given the way the track is likely to be playing. She’s been backed but will need a brilliant ride.
Lumosty – Desperately unlucky not to win 1st up in the G2 Caulfield Sprint when suffered severe interference 250-200m from the winning post. She dead heated with Éclair Choice for 1st, recording a devastating last 600m in 33.44 400 22.48 200 11.16. Her first two runs last preparation at Flemington were simply outstanding, running sub 22 second last 400s. She’s drawn perfectly in barrier 10 and I’ve marked her clear 3rd favourite.
Betting Activity:
BACK – WIN – Delectation – I’ve rated him $11. $18-19 is great value in early markets.
BACK – WIN – Lumosty – Has the most upside, I’ve marked her second favourite at $7.

The Darley Classic is a weight-for-age sprint down the famous Flemington straight over 1200m and the very firm favourite for the event from the Team Hawkes yard is Chautauqua. He is sure to have plenty of admirers here after his impressive last start victory in the Group 1 Manikato. He especially excels at Flemington finishing no worse than second in five starts. Weight-for-age really suits him here and handles both the wet and dry. He’s the total professional and deserves to be top pick. I expect him to be well supported and anchored in a many punters’ multis. I expect the field to come down the grandstand side and this gives Lumosty a good chance to be in the finish from the outside draw. If the favourite is off his game then this 4-year-old mare will be there to take advantage. She was excellent first up at Caulfield and has won up the straight. Delectation was very good here two starts ago behind the favourite and was held up at a vital stage here on Derby day. If he can get some clear galloping, he is a definite each way chance here. Boban is very classy on his day and should never be underestimated.
Tips: 2 (Chautauqua), 10 (Lumosty), 7 (Delectation), 3 (Boban)
Lucy Henderson from Ladbrokes (view full article)
Odds-on favourite Chautauqua is lining-up as very hard to beat on the back of three wins from as many runs this time in including his second Group 1 success in the Manikato Stakes. The Manikato at the Valley has produced the past three Darley Classic winners, and his two length win was comprehensive. He has a top Flemington record (5-3-2-0) down the straight and was runner-up last year with only improvement happening since. If he’s beaten we say it will be by either Joe Pride’s returning champ Terravista from the rails or the in-form Ciaron Maher-trained Stradbroke Handicap – Tatt’s Tiara winning mare Srikandi in gate two after her first-up second in the Manikato.
The Rating Bureau (view full article)
Chautauqua
He comes off a 107.5 rating last start and has peak ratings of 109.5 and 111 up the Flemington straight. Soft ground is no problem so it’s very easy to forecast him at least running to 107.5 if not higher towards those past peaks.
The only horse with any demonstrated ability to get near that level is Terravista (110 in this race last year), but so far that is big one off spike for him, with his next best ratings around the 105.5 level.
That presents a scenario where if Chautauqua runs up to his last start, let alone a little better towards his peak then there’s only a very small chance one of the other runners can possibly outperform him. I also have to make some allowance for the fact that he may under-perform and open the race up to others, but even taking a reasonable view of that, I can’t get him much longer than $1.45 here. That suggests he wins this race 6.9 times in 10 and loses 3.1 in 10… which seems to offer a reasonable allowance that he may completely fail.
At a 69% win chance he’s hardly a certainty, but the market is sitting around 1.60 and you may sneak better than that on the Exchange during betting.
That’s a good enough edge to make betting worthwhile here, at a staking level you feel comfortable with… keeping in mind he’s a 69% winning chance, not 99%.
There’s really only one horse to back here and that’s Chautauqua. There’s no prizes identifying a $1.60 shot, but given the profile of the chances here, that price does present an edge worth betting.
Chautauqua – Bet to WIN – Exchange could offer the best price late in betting.
Other Races at Flemington
Race 1 – Maribyrnong Plate (1000m)
The Trial Files (view full article)
The best of the debutants appears to be GLORIETTE and POWER TRIP. The former is a precocious 2YO filly who still has plenty to learn but on raw ability can still be very competitive. The latter looks a true professional, an impressive son of Hard Spun who can settle into a rhythm at the tail of the field before unleashing a powerful finishing burst.
VALLIANO might be the thorn in the side of these two unraced juveniles. He has been unlucky in two races around a bend and could be better suited to straight track racing.
In terms of framing a market I’d have both POWER TRIP and GLORIETTE equal favourites at $3.50 from VALLIANO at $5. The current market has POWER TRIP around the $7 and both GLORIETTE and VALLIANO over the odds at $4 and $6.50 respectively.
DALRADIAN currently sits at $5.50 and second favourite but I’ve rated him closer to $8.50 and an outside chance of again beating home VALLIANO.
Betting Strategy:
BACK – WIN – POWER TRIP – 3 units WIN
BACK – WIN – GLORIETTE – 2 units WIN
BACK – WIN – VALLIANO – 1 unit WIN
Lucy Henderson from Ladbrokes (view full article)
Only three of the nine two-year-olds in this opener have previous race experience including the undefeated Dalradian from the Melbourne Cup winning stables of Ballarat horseman Darren Weir. Two-from-two so far this Reward For Effort colt took out the Inglis 2YO race on Cox Plate Day over the same distance and is the one to beat even from the outside gate. David Hayes & Tom Dabernig’s dual starter Valliano was runner-up in the Inglis race by a short half-head and is out to turn the tables. Nice recent trial from Gloriette who will have her way from barrier one on debut.
Race 2 – Starlight Children’s Foundation Plate (2000m)
Lucy Henderson from Ladbrokes (view full article)
BenchMark 90 handicap over 2000m and early Divan looks the pick drawn a treat midfield in barrier six on the 54kg minimum with Damien Oliver riding the Robert Hickmott-trained Zabeel four-year-old. Last start was a second to Group 1 winner The Offer in the Bendigo Cup over 400m further and back in distance should fly. Good form also surrounds the Adelaide raider Okahu Bay who won September’s Gawler Cup while the David Hayes & Tom Dabernig-trained Velox was far from disgraced running third in the JRA Cup and fifth on the Coongy last month.
Race 3 – Queen’s Cup (2600m)
Unibet Australia (view full article)
The international visitor Secret Number has impressive overseas form and if he brings that he will be hard to beat. He did start favourite against subsequent World Cup winner Prince Bishop and the early betting suggest he is ready to win here. Dandino was very good in the Geelong Cup and seems to be hitting form at the right time. The stable have taken their time with him and may be rewarded here. The Queen’s horse Bold Sniper and Waller’s Beaten Up can fill the minor placings.
Tips: 3 (Secret Number), 2 (Dandino), 5 (Bold Sniper), 1 (Beaten Up)
The Betfair Insider (view full article)
Beaten Up – Will box seat from barrier 1 here and comes through strong Sydney form lines. 4th in the G2 Hill Stakes to Preferment, 2nd in the G1 Metropolitan and beat home The Offer at his latest start in the Listed City Tattersalls Cup. Comes here off a 21 day freshen and his wet track form is better than it reads. Looks under the odds at $5.5 but it’s he’s not without a hope.
Dandino – Huge performance in the G1 Turnbull Stakes when forced to make a mid-race move from a wide barrier to be beaten under a length to Preferment. His last start performance in the G3 Geelong Cup was full of merit, trapped 3w with cover he still managed to run the 3rd fastest last 400 23.68 200 12.16 to claim 2nd behind Almoonqith who had every favour in running. The small field is to his advantage, but is a slight query if it’s too wet.
Secret Number – Godolphin stayer who narrowly missed a start in the Melbourne Cup. Will race handy to the speed mapping behind Bonfire. His UK form in 2013 is strong enough to make him a threat here, beaten only 3.8lengths in the G1 St Leger over 2900m. He’s only managed three starts since then which is concerning, but has won 2 of 3 both at 2400m in G3 or at listed level. He’s weighted up to his best here, provided he’s acclimatised he’s big chance and the wetter the better for him.
Bold Sniper – Produced strong mid race sectionals at his latest start in the G3 Moonee Valley Cup. They went 16 lengths above benchmark to the 600m mark so expect that run to have topped him off nicely for this. Winner of that race is the now Melbourne Cup Winner Prince Of Penzance. Has a tendency to over-race and hang so if he can eradicate that from his racing manners he’s over the odds at $9-10 in early markets.
Betting Activity:
BACK – WIN – BOLD SNIPER – Looks primed 5th up and will handle soft surface. $10 value.
Lucy Henderson from Ladbrokes (view full article)
Race for the stayers balloted out of the Melbourne Cup field, the in-form runner is Saeed Bin Suroor’s English raider for Godolphin Secret Number. They rolled the dice with the stallion and he missed the ‘race that stops a nation’ so debuts down under after a black-type win in the UK last start in September with James McDonald aboard. Equal on 58kg with the visitor are the Chris Waller-trained Beaten Up with the rails run and Darren Weir’s always-honest nine-year-old Dandino coming off a second in the Geelong Cup.
Race 4 – Listed Hilton Hotels & Resorts Stakes (1400m)
Lucy Henderson from Ladbrokes (view full article)
Another handicap, this time for the three-year-olds where the John O’Shea-trained Demonstrate lines up with 58kg after a string of good runs including the third to Holler in the Group 3 Red Anchor Stakes (1200m) on Cox Plate Day. Up in the weights though so could be vulnerable over a distance he is also yet to race over. Les Darci is on the improve off a Moonee Valley win and extra metres here should suit while Kracken gets the gun run from barrier three with Kerrin McEvoy in the saddle.
Race 5 – 3:00pm Antler Luggage Handicap (1600m)
Lucy Henderson from Ladbrokes (view full article)
Mile clash featuring 15 final acceptors with plenty of boxes ticked by the Michael Moroney-trained Rhythm To Spare who can improve on recent form including the Sale Cup ninth. Is classy and Damien Oliver aboard will help a likely long-priced Each Way chance. He is equal top weight with the David Hayes & Tom Dabernig-trained Petrology and Streets Away for Weir, the later coming off a third in the Sale Cup. Luckless third over the distance at Caulfield last start for Zebrinz who can improve here with a better run.
Race 8 – Presto Matriarch Stakes (2000m)
Unibet Australia (view full article)
I’m going with Zarzali on the quick back up here to prevail. She was very good here on Cup day and won with something to spare. She has hit form now and may just go on with it. The two at the top of the market Lucia Valentia and Ballet Suite are very good on their day but are just struggling with their form at the moment. Thunder Lady can add some value here after no luck here last week in the Lexus.
Tips: 13 (Zarzali), 1 (Lucia Valentia), 7 (Ballet Suite), 2 (Thunder Lady)
Lucy Henderson from Ladbrokes (view full article)
Best of the non-Group 1s is the mares-only Matriarch Stakes where Kris Lees’ saddles-up his dual Group 1 winner Lucia Valentina from out wide, who on her best day can win. She is one of the single figure hopes along with the likes of Chris Waller’s Group 3 Teiso Stakes fourth placed four-year-old Ballet Suite and Manageress who was eighth in the same race in a luckless run with Flemington a better track for her. Zarzali is on the rails again after winning from the inside alley only a few days back on Melbourne Cup Day and Glen Boss retains the ride.
Race 9 – Emirates Airline Handicap (1400m)
Lucy Henderson from Ladbrokes (view full article)
The last on the line-up has 15 hopefuls it could be a market with plenty of value. Robert Smerdon’s in-form Reldas has to be considered on the back of two Moonee Valley wins and the two-from-four record over this distance. Also in form is the Lee & Anthony Freedman-trained Malaguerra who won at this track and distance on Melbourne Cup Day so if handles the short back-up is a hope again with less weight.
