Flemington Tips August 2
Jockeys Celebration Day Sprint Tips (Race 4)
Flemington Best Bet - Race 4 No. 9 Documentary
Nothing went right in his 1000m return a fortnight ago, where the plan was to settle back from a wide and attempt to find the fast lanes out wide late.
At a key stage, Documentary wasn't going well enough to angle towards the outside of Losesomewinmore (winner) and after picking up, he was then in restricted room.
You can effectively treat that as a trial for Documentary, who showed above average ability in his first prep and over an extra 100m with a run under the belt, this sets up well second-up.
Victorian Jockeys' Association Trophy Tips (Race 6)
Flemington Value Bet - Race 6 No. 4 Run Harry Run
He's a big horse who looks to carry plenty of condition, so Run Harry Run should continue to improve as the prep wears on and he now has a solid fitness base.
Zou Sensation (fav) was too good via their July 12 clash at Caulfield, but this gelding was a month between runs in that third-up attempt and he has a decent weight swing on that rival.
Also, Run Harry Run didn't relish a wet track via that last appearance and with no rain predicted, an upgrade or two on the current Soft 6 reading will suit the Group 3 winner.
Aurie's Star Handicap Tips (Race 7)
Flemington Feature Bet - Race 7 No. 11 Splash Back
The Aurie's Star Handicap is one of the traditional starting points for spring contenders and while there's strong honour roll of past winners, it's a thin edition of the Group 3 sprint.
Splash Back is in career best form, with a stylish fresh win followed by an outstanding Flemington performance on June 21, where she overcame trouble from back in the field.
Grahame Begg is one of best in the business and with a lightly raced mare who has no black-type, the master trainer has freshened Splash Back up for a very winnable race (tick-over jump-out good).
2025 Melbourne Cup Carnival On Sale Tips (Race 8)
Flemington Next Best Bet - Race 8 No. 11 One Long Day
With four wins and four seconds from nine starts, One Long Day has been a very consistent campaigner and this isn't a dissimilar set up to last campaign, where he won second-up.
The gelding landed the cash for us at Moonee Valley in December, where he was rising in trip with a jump-out completed following the fresh outing and he's following the same path this prep.
It was an honest return last month, while he saluted via his only try over this track/trip and that form through La Fracas, Nana's Wish, Castle On High and Enxuto reads nicely.
Inside Headquarters Handicap Tips (Race 9)
Flemington Roughie - Race 9 No. 5 Capricorn Star
On paper, this is her toughest assignment to date, however, there isn't much to fear in this off-season BM78 against her own sex and Capricorn Star has the best winning strike-rate in the field.
The daughter of Maurice came to hand early last prep with a Heavy 10 triumph first-up at Pakenham and deeper into the campaign, she completed a metro double.
There were excuses for her January 22 miss (respiratory issue and hoof abscess found before a spell) and Capricorn Star is a trier who can put herself into the race early under Jamie Mott.
