6YO Mare To Outfox Field At Flemington On Saturday: Adam Curkpatrick

Feature racing in Melbourne this weekend returns to headquarters at Flemington and The Race Club’s Adam Curkpatrick is backing a 6YO mare at a nice price to outfox a classy field in the 6th over 1200m.

Best Bet

Race 6, 1200m

Barbie’s Fox ($9.00, $2.80)

Of course this is harder than a BM race, however that doesn’t deter me from the figures Barbie’s Fox ($9.00) has put down this time in, particularly the latest win at 1300m, given a fantastic steer by Lafferty.

She has been tried at this level prior and up past the mile, even to 2000m, however everything in her figures suggests that she is spot on here at 1400m.

She settles closer by default and I’m happy to make her the best of the day.

Tip: Win

Value Bet

Race 8, 1400m

Morvada ($10.00, $3.20)

I’ve always had a little bit of time for Morvada ($10.00), and I have warmed to the prep pattern here.

He is 4UP of a let-up, in very similar fashion to when 4UP last time and a little further ahead in his figure progression.

Low draw, on pace with Meech on board all point to a very good show.

I can’t come to those in the money off their set ups and Morvada represents some value to those.

Happy to play.

Tip: Win
