VALUE BET OF THE DAY

FLEMINGTON - Race 7 No.13 - AMERICAN WOLF - Won Adelaide Cup then 6-weeks off and took off 800m from home in M’ton Cup (he held on well). Beat Litzdeel here at 2800m in St Leger last year. The overs $17?

1 - 13 - AMERICAN WOLF - Won Adelaide Cup then 6-weeks off and took off 800m from home in M’ton Cup (he held on well). Beat Litzdeel here at 2800m in St Leger last year. The overs $17?

2 - 7 - ZARIR - Well back and in traffic M’ton Cup then very good late out wider (action was inside). Ran quite well 2025 Sydney Cup when 6.5L 7th.

3 - 10 - ZAKOUMA - Three brilliant wins this prep from back (won running away all three) then kept closing here latest but that was mostly on-pace race and maybe he was looking for further? Gets that here. Has all the upside.

4 - 1 - CHANGINGOFTHEGUARD - Back to best at huge odds Sydney Cup with blinkers on out to 3200m when led, attacked early yet kept kicking! Set-Weights suits him.

5 - 15 - ALAINGE - Was long way back in that Adelaide Cup and ran well behind American Wolf. Easy win latest and beat Sea What I See which clearly ties in that M’Ton Cup form.

6 - 9 - THE WESTERN FRONT - Only been to staying trip twice and he’s won both, well. Up in class and up to set-weights but can measure up.
