Flemington Race 2 - 25/26 Vrc Membership Renewals Hcp
Most of these have been racing each other throughout the Winter. BOLD SOUL (6) is the weight-dropper from the Flemington Cup last time that looks well placed. He carried 58.5kg there and found the line well for fourth. He now drops to 54.5kg having beaten key rivals at this weight scale three back. MUKTAMIL (7) beat BOLD SOUL with a 4.5kg weight advantage three back before that horse turned the tables at level weights two back. He was heavily backed (with 53.5kg) to win the Flemington Cup last time and ran well. Should be right there. CASINO SEVENTEEN (1) comes through different form, working home okay in a bunched finish here over 2000m last time. This trip should suit now. CHANGINGOFTHEGUARD (2) wasn't bad first up in Sydney and could be an improver. SAMUEL LANGHORNE (8) is racing consistently and an each way hope.
