The traditional ANZAC Day races are set to be run and won at Flemington on Sunday afternoon. The track is rated a Soft 5, with the rail in the true position throughout. The two feature events on the Flemington card are the VRC St Leger and the Anzac Day Stakes. Horsebetting.com.au brings you the best bets, top odds and free quaddie numbers for the meeting set to get underway at 1pm AEST.
Best Bet: #1 Persan
The Maher & Eustace-trained Persan is arguably one of the best stayers in the country, and is on track to compete in the Andrew Ramsden Stakes in three weeks time. The now four-year-old stallion will be looking to continue his impressive form to begin this campaign on Sunday where he looks hard to hold out in a small field of seven. Matthew Cartwright hops back on board with his 3kg claim which seemed to be the winning recipe at The Valley two runs back on March 13. Expect Persan to settle closer to last in the opener, but with four wins from six starts at Flemington we know he eats up the Flemington track and should be too good for this lot.
Race 1 – Persan (#1)[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1367693_01]
Next Best: #9 Kenya
Kenya returns from a near six month spell in the Les Carlyon on Sunday and will look to lead throughout in a dominant front running affair. We were with him in the Bendigo Golden Mile before he was scratched, and this looks to be an easier assignment than that race. With just 55.5kg on his back the race looks set up perfectly for the son of Galileo getting in just 1.5kg above the minimum. The one query is he has shown a tendency to over-race throughout the running, but if he settles he has shown that he can put a gap on his rivals during his first campaign since coming across from Ireland.
Race 7 – Kenya (#9)[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1367693_07]
Best Value: #2 South Parade
The John Sadler-trained South Parade has put together a hat-trick of wins this campaign in midweek company and will take some catching. From barrier 14 we expect Matthew Cartwright to use his 3kg claim to his advantage and settle the Sacred Falls gelding in front of this field. He is yet to finish outside of the top three this campaign, and if runs to the standard he has been going around at then he will take some beating at a nice quote.
Race 5 – South Parade (#2)[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1367693_05]
