Flemington Race 6 - Penfolds Victoria Derby Preview
STYLISH SECRET (1) caught the eye at Moonee Valley last start behind the in-form Evaporate, getting back in the field but running on nicely late to grab second. He looks a genuine stayer who can prove hard to beat at each way odds. GIDDY UP WARRIOR (2) was a smart maiden winner at Sandown Hillside last time out over 1500m as favourite. He's certainly bred to get over more ground and maps well here. LAVALIER (4) also brings Evaporate form having run third to that horse last start over 1523m at Moonee Valley. He's a promising type who will take beating. LARIO (6) resumed with a soft maiden win at Geelong as favourite and can measure up. POLITELY DUN (5) is still a maiden but isn't hopeless at all.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Mdn-Sw September 4 over 1500m defeating Brullen carrying 58kg at $2.30. The race before that 2nd of 10 at Sandown-Lakeside Mdn-Sw on August 14 over 1400m, nose behind Delivering with 57kg at $2.60. Nice win last time and he looks a promising stayer.
