Big things are happening at HQ in Melbourne on Saturday and the Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr stable are backing a big, long-striding horse to relish a lack of pace in the third.
The stable’s value bet comes later in the card where an emperor is ready to rule.

Best Bet
Flemington (Saturday)
Race 3, 1410m
Robrick ($6.00, $2.85)
If I had to $10 on one horse, it would probably be Robrick.
There’s no pace in the race, put him up there, he’s a big, long striding horse.
The horse the other day at Caulfield got amongst them and just was petrified.
I think he just needs experience, he just needs racing.
We’ll put him up there and see what he’s made of.
There’s probably three or four good chances, so probably on the fourth line there but he’s a chance there.
Tip: Win
Top Tip
Race 4, 1410m
Hell Hound ($8.00, $2.70)
Hell Hound ($8.00, $2.70) has drawn the pole which is important for her because she needs everything to go her own way.
It’s an even race, I’m not sure she can win two in a row.
I think she’s looking for stud next year, so this coming season in September.
So I wouldn’t be confident that she would win again.
She had a beautiful run in behind them with Beau on the other day.
Tip: Win

Value Bet
Race 8, 1620m
Deepstrike ($23.00, $6.00), French Emperor ($8.50, $2.70)
Deepstrike ($23.00, $6.00) in the mile, this is a run inbetween runs for him, I think the mile is too short.
That horse French Emperor ($8.50, $2.70) in the same race in a mile race, he needs cover and he’s drawn 8 out of 14.
If he gets the right cover he can win, if he doesn’t get cover, he doesn’t win.
That’s the key to him.
French Emperor would be one of my best chances on the day but he’s got to get cover from 8 out of 14.
Tip: French Emperor (Win)
French Emperor finds the line nicely to earn back-to-back victories 🔥@MickPriceRacing @MichaelRhysKent @jamieleekah07 pic.twitter.com/dEiaM2gxY1
