Flemington Race 8

Tab Turnbull Stakes (G1)

Stake: $817,500

The G1 Turnbull Stakes. VIA SISTINA (4) goes on top. She was electric first up to win the Winx over 1400m off a slow tempo and then got thrown into a deteriorating track with Pride Of Jenni leading. If you forgive that and look at her 2000m form, she's a great bet. PLACE DU CARROUSEL (12) is the other mare with elite 2000m form. She was very heavily backed to win the G1 Underwood fresh and was plain on face value but will come on plenty from that and gets in nicely with 55kg. BUCKAROO (3) has come back a new horse as a gelding. He was dominant in the Underwood and is impossible to knock here. ELIYASS (6) faces his toughest test yet but is unbeaten (7/7) at 2000m and progressive. YOUNG WERTHER (10) has gone close in this race two year's running and has claims.

Underwood Stakes winner. Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently scored a big 3.5 len win at Caulfield G1 Underwood September 21 over 1800m defeating Huetor carrying 59kg at $9. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Randwick G2 Chelmsford September 7 over 1600m defeating Hinged carrying 59kg at $7. Has come back a different horse and rates a huge chance on latest.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Multiple Group 1 winner. Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 12th of 14 at Te Rapa in the G2 Foxbridge Plt on August 24 over 1200m, in the wet; 5.5 len behind Bonny Lass carrying 58.5kg at $33.90. Second run from a spell 2nd of 8 at Te Rapa Hcp on September 15 over 1600m, on a wet track; long-neck behind Islington Lass with 63.5kg at $5.50. Good horse but not sure he's ever quite measured up to the A-grade here.
