We’re back to headquarters at Flemington today with the meeting headlined by the listed Kensington Stakes (1000m).
The track should rate in the good range despite there being some rain yesterday and early this morning.
Rail is in the 9m position. All horses will have the their chance but there might be a distinct advantage to come down the outside part of the track. Keep an eye on the pattern early in the day.
Race 1
Competitive three-year-old dash up the straight.
Parlophone comes out the most competitive races but her racing style and manners aren t exactly that of a horse you d want to be taking $2.7 about in this field.

Lindsey Smith is hoping that his in-form galloper Riding The Wave can round out his summer campaign with a win
Smith believes Riding The Wave will be suited by the step up to 1400 metres at Flemington.
The former Kiwi has had four starts for Smith for a debut fourth for him at Bendigo which was followed by a victory at Ballarat.
Riding The Wave has then had two starts at Flemington over 1200 metres for a second and then a narrow win at Flemington last start in a Benchmark 78 over 1200 metres.
