2021 Flemington Finals Day Tips & Preview

We head to Headquarters this Saturday afternoon and we have massive day of quality racing in store.

Our full 2021 Flemington Finals Day Tips & Preview can be viewed below.

Race 1: 2YO Handicap (1200m) 11:50am
No. 1 Mennea

It was only a maiden at Donald but Mennea was ultra impressive in that race, scoring by 2.5 lengths on the line.

The Maher and Eustace trained colt has a stack of natural speed and will only improve on his racing debut.

each way
Race 2: Silver Bowl Series Final (1600m) 12:25pm
No. 12 Baglioni

Baglioni represents good value in the second race of the afternoon here at Flemington at the double figure odds.

He is a very progressive type of horse who was beaten just over two lengths by by the smart Foxy Frida who I have tipped later in the day.

best bet
Race 3: Banjo Patterson Series Final (2600m) 1:00pm
No. 2 Grand Promenade

Grand Promenade has two wins from five starts so far this prep but he yet to finish outside the top two.

He couldn’t have been any more impressive when winning by four lengths over 2520m here at Flemington a month ago and it really is hard to see him getting beaten in this event with even luck.

Jamie Kah. Barrier two. Get on.

Race 4: Listed Taj Rossi Series Final (1600m) 1:35pm
No. 11 Forbidden City

Peter Moody and Jamie Kah combine here in the fourth race of the afternoon – the Taj Rossi Series Final – at Headquarters.

Forbidden City is yet to salute in three runs so far in her short career but she has shown that she is a very capable filly.

She was beaten just over half a length last start and the step up in distance to 1600m suits her at this stage in her prep.

Race 5: 3YO Fillies Handicap (1400m) 2:15pm
No. 5 Foxy Frida

Foxy Frida comes into this race off the back of a really impressive win at this track and distance in a similar grade of race.

She has been unplaced only once in her short six start career but she finished within 1.7 lengths of the winner that day.

Craig Williams is riding really well right at the minute and he will have plenty of options from barrier three.

Race 6: Listed Winter Championship Series Final (1600m) 2:55pm
No. 3 Odeon

Odeon has been very consistent so far this prep and comes into this Winter Championship Series Final on the back of three placings.

He was soundly beaten by Dice Roll last start but he meets that horse 2.5kg better at the weights and was only a length off him there.

Jamie Kah will be riding with the support of the country to chase the record if she doesn’t have it by this time. Give her strength.

Race 7: 3YO Handicap (2500m) 3:30pm
No. 4 Unique Artist

Unique Artist has gone from strength to strength throughout this prep.

The talented three year old filly has now won her last two on the trot by a combined 7.75 length including a dominant win at this track in her last outing.

She is the one to beat.

Race 8: Listed All Victorian Sprint Series Final (1200m) 4:05pm
No. 4 Banquo

Banquo returned a really nice effort when resuming down the Flemington straight finishing just over a length to The Astrologist.

He meets that horse 2kg better at the weights for this contest in the All Victorian Sprint Series Final and although it has been a while in between wins for the horse, he looks really well placed in a race of this quality.

Race 9: Leilani Series Final (1400m) 4:35pm
Box Tri 5/10/12/13

Let’s box them up in the final event of the day at Headquarters and see if we can pocket some cash!
