This weekend the feature race of the Saturday card at Flemington is the Group 1 Australian Guineas for three-year olds over 1,600 metres.
Hucklebuck has been installed at the favourite ($4.20 on Betfair) with a record of five wins from his seven starts, with Eurozone ($4.60 on Betfair) and Cox Plate winner Shamus Award ($5.60 on Betfair) on the next lines of betting.
Hucklebuck is going to be right in contention, but will he see out the distance? Eurozone is a talented 3yo who resumed this campaign with a narrow loss to multiple Group 1 winner Moment of Change when Eurozone made up a lot of late ground. Glen Boss is on board and his recent form has been poor but we’re hopeful of a turnaround this weekend.
Our Verdict: Eurozone to win and Hucklebuck as a saver. If you’re looking for a little more value then consider Victoria Derby placegetter Thunder Fantasy.
Take note: The above tips are simply the author’s opinion, so bet at your own risk and always bet responsibly. Happy punting!
