Flemington Race 1

Tab Talindert Stakes (L)

Prize Money: $175,000

We start with the babies and there are plenty of unknowns - just three have raced and only one start apiece. Nice chance to have a look and settle in to what should be a great card. Key interest is ZAMBALES (1) who was well fancied on debut in Sydney and stuck at it behind a nice winner who clocked a decent time from the front. Any improvement from that performance (and think we can expect plenty) will go a long way to knocking this off. DIAMETER (3) was okay on debut here and recent jump outs might see him a bit sharper now. HARD KICK (4) is the pick of the newcomers off the jump outs. STELLAR CIPHER (2) has also looked the mark and SHAH JAHAN (5) has the pedigree.

Dual acceptor. Two-year-old filly (The Autumn Sun - Courtesan). Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman has her ready for this with four recent trials leading in today's debut. Ran 3rd in a jump-out at Pakenham on February 3. Will get a bit further you would think but nice type all the same.
