Feature racing in Melbourne on Saturday is at Flemington and The Race Club’s Adam Curkpatrick is all over a 3YO from the Moody stable to salute.
Best Bet
Flemington (Saturday)
Race 4, 1400m
Hennessy Lad ($5.50, $1.80)
Resumes on the back of two good sound outs at the jump outs, running time in the process.
He’ll be forward for this and I like the 1400m kick off.
Soft map and only needs even luck to be the horse to beat.
Tip: Win
Hennessy Lad charges home! 🔥

Value Best
Race 8, 1400m
Floating Artist ($7.50, $2.60)
Looks quite forward off his lead in work and is the clear figure horse in this.
He is only off a short break, so I’d expect a good base and his late strength should be telling here from a soft draw.
I have him as favourite in an open field, and with that, I’m happy to make him the value play today.
