Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 13 Journalists Share Posted February 13 What DAY Where Flemington Racecourse – 448 Epsom Rd, Flemington VIC 3031 When Saturday, February 15, 2025 First Race 12:15pm AEDT Visit Dabble The Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning (1000m) headlines a stacked 10-race meeting at Flemington this Saturday. Despite some scorching temperatures throughout the week, a top of 18 degrees is forecasted with showers expected throughout the day. The track will likely be around the Soft 5 range, with the rail will be in its true position, and the first race is set to go at 12:15pm AEDT. Race 1: BM78 Handicap (2000m) Revelare will be looking for a fourth-straight win when he steps up to 2000m for the first time this weekend. The son of So You Think has impressed at Sandown in his last two starts, winning over 1600m and 1800m. He savaged the line in both runs, which suggests the extra 200m he gets on Saturday should be no issue. Selections: 3 REVELARE 2 LE ZEBRA 11 SHINY NEW DEEL 8 MISS TARZY Next Best Race 1 – #3 Revelare (5) 4yo Gelding | T: Robert Hickmott | J: Ryan Hurdle (59.5kg) Race 2: Listed Talindert Stakes (1100m) Sword Of Legacy did all but win the Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes (1000m) on February 1, going down by the barest of margins. The Too Darn Hot filly produced a strong turn of foot only to miss out in a driving finish behind Inkaruna. The 1.7-length margin back to third suggests the Dominic Sutton-trained juvenile will be hard to beat next time around. Selections: 7 SWORD OF LEGACY 1 SHINING SMILE 5 BRAVE DESIGN 3 AMMO Race 3: Group 3 Frances Tressady Stakes (1400m) Returning from a three-month spell, the Symon Wilde-trained Plenty Of Ammo looks well placed to return a winner in the Group 3 Frances Tressady Stakes (1400m). The six-year-old mare is already a first-up winner, and the small field of nine should suit the Rebel Raider mare perfectly. If Mark Zahra can land his mount in the one-one, Plenty Of Ammo’s strong finishing burst should prove too much for this lot. Selections: 2 PLENTY OF AMMO 3 FANCIFY 4 MIRAVAL ROSE 9 BIZOT Frances Tressady Stakes Race 3 – #2 Plenty Of Ammo (8) 6yo Mare | T: Symon Wilde | J: Mark Zahra (58.5kg) Race 4: BM84 Handicap (1600m) My Brothers Keeper caught the eye first-up from a 19-week spell over 1400m at this track. The son of Fiorente was held up for a run twice in that race, yet he finished only 1.3 lengths off the impressive Name Dropper. He will need a touch of luck from barrier two, but if he finds clear air at the right time, My Brothers Keeper is worth a play at the $12 quote with horse racing betting sites. Selections: 14 MY BROTHERS KEEPER 12 ARQANA 2 SMOKIN’ PRINCESS 6 VERDAD Best Value Race 4 – #14 My Brothers Keeper (2) 5yo Gelding | T: Stephen Brown | J: Jye McNeil (54kg) Race 5: BM90 Handicap (1200m) Wiggum has raced well without winning in his two starts at Flemington this campaign. The son of Rich Enuff has been settling towards the rear of the field before launching late only to find one or two better than him. Drawn perfectly out in barrier 13, if Craig Williams can find a bum to follow approaching the clock tower, Wiggum has the turn of foot to be overpowering his rivals late over 1200m. Selections: 8 WIGGUM 6 SHESALLSHENANIGANS 1 EXTRATWO 5 BOSSY NIC Race 6: Listed The Elms Handicap (1400m) Rise At Dawn returns to the racetrack for the first time since August 31, when his winter campaign culminated in a victory in the Listed Heatherlie Stakes (1700m). The four-year-old gelding has seven wins from 12 starts and is bombproof when fresh, winning twice in as many first-up starts. With only Buffalo River known for his early speed, Rise At Dawn will be in a prominent position out of barrier six and will take some beating. Selections: 6 RISE AT DAWN 4 CHORLTON LANE 5 AZTEC RULER 2 JUST FOLK Best Bet Race 6 – #6 Rise At Dawn (6) 4yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Michael Dee (55.5kg) Race 7: Group 3 CS Hayes Stakes (1400m) The Group 3 CS Hayes Stakes (1400m) opens Saturday’s quaddie, and the Group 1-placed Feroce looks to get the race run to suit. The three-year-old gelding chased home the likes of Angel Capital, Private Life and Aeliana last prep, all of whom would be a short-priced favourite in Saturday’s feature for three-year-olds. Billy Egan will likely take up the running from barrier four, and in a 1400m race where he should have an easy time of it out in front, Feroce looks to hard to run down. Selections: 6 FEROCE 3 ROYAL INSIGNIA 10 HENLEIN 14 SEPALS CS Hayes Stakes Race 7 – #6 Feroce (4) 3yo Gelding | T: Dominic Sutton | J: Billy Egan (57kg) Race 8: Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning (1000m) A star-studded field will duke it out down the Flemington straight in the Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning. With five Group 1 winners amongst the field, will someone else etch their name into the record books? Or will one of the proven sprinters send out an early autumn statement? Click here for HorseBetting’s full preview of the 2025 Black Caviar Lightning Race 9: Listed Desirable Stakes (1400m) Despite an indifferent effort first-up in the Group 1 Railway Stakes (1200m) at Ellerslie on January 25, Captured By Love comes over from New Zealand with top-tier form lines. The track rating may have been a Soft 5 that day, but there was enough water on the surface to prevent the Written Tycoon filly from producing her best from the rear of the field. Flemington should suit this girl perfectly, and as long as Blake Shinn can have her in clear air when the time is right, Captured By Love should prove too hard to hold out. Selections: 2 CAPTURED BY LOVE 4 SNEAKY SUNRISE 1 ANOTHER PROPHET 8 GOOD SORT Race 10: BM84 Handicap (1400m) Sunshineinmypocket could not have been any more impressive when winning first-up at the Sandown 1200m after a 41-week layoff. The four-year-old gelding will make his Flemington debut on Saturday, but from everything he has shown, the famous home straight will suit him perfectly. Jaylah Kennedy will need some luck in finding clear air from barrier one, but if the son of Proisir can build through his gears, he should be putting money in your pocket.
