\n

Our Danehill Stakes predictions have\u00a0NATURAL FLING (10)<\/strong> being too hard to get past down the Flemington straight.<\/p>\n

The 3YO filly has form on the board this spring after winning at Caulfield before placing behind My Gladiola at Group 1 level at Sandown, and there is nothing wrong with that form for this level of racing.<\/p>\n

Drawing wide down the straight is typically an advantage, and although she will be vulnerable late in the race, her blistering barrier speed should be enough to set up a break on the field, and she\u2019ll be tough to catch.<\/p>\n

Her current odds are about as short as we want to take, but there is enough value in the $2.60. She ran at odds of $3 at Group 1 level, so that puts things into perspective.<\/p>\n

#11 Over Excited <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

OVER EXCITED (4)<\/strong>\u00a0didn\u2019t do much wrong when running second behind Satono Glow at Flemington, and having experience running down the Flemington straight is something not every runner in this field has.<\/p>\n

That could make the difference over the concluding stages of this race, and she looked good on debut when winning at Geelong over Icelady, who has since beaten a good field in the city.<\/p>\n

There is a lot to like about her form entering this race, and she hasn\u2019t been overlooked in betting markets. She will need to avoid getting crowded from barrier 4, but Ethan Brown is riding well, and he could get the job done on board the daughter of Zoustar.<\/p>\n

#2 Big Sky <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

There is some value available with BIG SKY (7)<\/strong>, who started his career with back-to-back wins at Flemington and Caulfield.<\/p>\n

He finished third last start at Flemington, but it was a good effort after not racing since January, and he might be the forgotten runner in this field. His first two wins were excellent, and he\u2019s a highly rated type.<\/p>\n

Barrier 7 should give the son of Bivouac every chance to find a good spot in running down the straight, and given the double-figure odds available, leaving him out of Danehill Stakes tips could be a mistake.<\/p>\n
