Newmarket Handicap – Flemington Race 6
The highlight of Super Saturday should be run at a solid tempo with Rain Affair ($8.00) drawn on the inside, Buffering ($17.00) the middle, and Hay List ($4.50) and African Pulse ($41.00) on the outside.
Topweight Hay List faces a champion’s task giving weight all round and meeting several of his rivals from the Lightning Stakes considerably worse off under the handicap scale.
Three year old Foxwedge ($6.50) is the weight horse of the race, he meets Hay List on five and a half kilogram better terms for just over a 2 length defeat in the Lightning and has been specifically targeted for this race. He is drawn just outside Hay List and Craig Williams should be able to trail the favourite with the weight advantage being a telling factor in the final stages.
Lone Rock ($10.00) returned the best final sectional in the Lightning and this straight course specialist will relish the extra furlong. Bel Sprinter ($6.00) has reportedly suffered a minor setback since his luckless run in the Oakleigh Plate, however he is attractively weighted and drawn to advantage.
Sydney visitor Rain Affair will experience the high pressure of Group One racing for the first time on Saturday and his finishing sectionals suggest he may be vulnerable at the business end. Others well worthy of consideration are King’s Rose ($17.00), FacileTigre ($17.00) and the consistent Buffering.
