SPEED MAP<\/h2>\n
\n

Pride Of Jenni<\/strong> should get an easy lead here, with Mr Brightside<\/strong> sitting 2nd.
\nFair gap to the rest who are all backmarkers; Pinstriped, Antino, Atishu, Via Sistina, Circle Of Fire<\/strong> & Warmonger.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

KEY RUNNERS<\/h2>\n
\n

1. Mr Brightside \u2013<\/strong> Topliner for many seasons who has won over $13M prizemoney. Was solid first up when 2nd in the Memsie Stakes beaten a long head. Will have come on from that run. Won this race last year, though was third up.<\/p>\n

2. Pinstriped \u2013<\/strong> Became a giant killer beating Mr Brightside first up in the Memsie in a clear career peak. Fit.<\/p>\n

4. Antino \u2013<\/strong> Got back and finished solidly out wide for 4th beaten 3.8L first up in the Memsie Stakes. Expect him to finish closer here.<\/p>\n

5. Warmonger \u2013<\/strong> Bolted in to win the QLD Derby by 11L last start. Brings that residual fitness here. Can surprise.<\/p>\n

6. Pride Of Jenni \u2013<\/strong> Superstar mare who went slower than usual in front first up in the Memsie and flopped. Does get better the deeper she gets into a prep, and the harder she goes in front. Expecting an improved run here, unless the Queen Elizabeth run has cooked her.<\/p>\n

7. Atishu \u2013<\/strong> Has a strong record at Flemington. Capable of figuring here.<\/p>\n

8. Via Sistina \u2013<\/strong> High quality mare with 3 Australian runs at G1 level for 2 wins and a second. Key player.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

DEAN EVANS SUMMARY<\/h2>\n
\n

Tricky race from a betting perspective. In the last 10 years no mares have won this race, no horse from a Flemington yard has won the race, and only 1 horse has won off a Sydney run last start. That combined with the ratings out of slow races has Via Sistina<\/strong> rating poorly here, despite her clear class. Tends to rule out Atishu<\/strong> also despite her excellent Flemington record.
\nPride Of Jenni<\/strong> needs to improve very sharply, whilst Antino<\/strong> has to take the next step in this top grade.
\nLeaning towards 3 key chances from a betting perspective in Warmonger, Pinstriped<\/strong> and Mr Brightside.<\/strong>
\nWarmonger<\/strong> brings a somewhat similar profile to horses like Incentivise (1st), Russian Camelot (2nd) and Mr Quickie (3rd) who all ran well in this race fresh as either 4yos or off a Queensland 2400m run last start. Looks a nice bet at a big price.
\nPinstriped<\/strong> has an excellent profile for this race coming to it 3rd up off a Memsie win.
\nMr Brightside<\/strong> the other key chance, though is he half a run short for this tough race? Could save on him.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

Betting Strategy<\/p>\n

BACK: (WIN) 5. Warmonger for 1 unit.
