#2 Litzdeel <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

LITZDEEL (9)<\/strong>\u00a0loves racing at Flemington with a win and three placings from four starts, and she won her only start over this distance.<\/p>\n

The 5YO mare doesn\u2019t win as often as punters would like, but she\u2019s a horse that prepares for a big run, and after two runs this campaign, she looks set to perform at her best at her favourite track.<\/p>\n

The long Flemington straight is ideal for her racing pattern, and she showed that when running second at Caulfield last start. She would have been better at Flemington, and rising from 2000m to 2500m is a bonus.<\/p>\n

Our Lexus Archer Stakes<\/a> predictions have her winning, so the $4 odds are worth taking in the staying contest, and they could firm on race day.<\/p>\n

#3 Nearco Frod <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Leaving out a runner coming off four consecutive wins would be a mistake, so we\u2019re not going to.\u00a0NEARCO FROD (5)<\/strong> is loving life this year, and he keeps producing the goods.<\/p>\n

He hasn\u2019t taken on this level of opposition yet, but we have no doubts that he\u2019ll handle it. The son of Hunter\u2019s Light is bred to enjoy the longer distances, and his win over 2400m last start is a good indication of that.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s getting a little short in the market at $3.40, but with Craig Williams riding, we\u2019re not surprised by the support. He\u2019s a top winning hope, and he\u2019ll bide his time before unleashing in the straight.<\/p>\n

#10 Suffolk Star <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Our Lexus Archer Stakes predictions include SUFFOLK STAR (6)<\/strong>, who shouldn\u2019t be discounted simply because of her long odds.<\/p>\n

The 6YO son of Nathaniel is bred to stay, and his fourth at Flemington last start wasn\u2019t a bad effort. He would have preferred the sting out of the ground, so conditions should be ideal for him on Saturday.<\/p>\n

There is a lot of wiggle room for a runner paying $31, so we\u2019re happy to include him in picks. He will add value to Archer Stakes exotics, and after opening at $51, punters have climbed into him as a roughie chance.<\/p>\n

We priced him at $26, so there is still value available, and upsets can happen in staying contests.<\/p>\n
