Racing returns to Flemington with the Standish Handicap headlining the Summer card.
A tricky card at Flemington where we'll be looking at each way odds for both plays.
The first comes up in Race 6 where Enxuto looks set to run another new peak here third up from a spell. Both runs back have been good with the sectionals suggesting he's right on track to do something.
First up at Geelong the splits behind New Sovereign were very good from an impossible spot before stepping up to this trip behind the progressive Dream All Day, again charging at them late to grab second.
He zipped home there in 33.20 in a very slowly run race, earning a huge rating mark up in the process. He ran to 96 on the RAS scale and that has him on top at the weights. You'd love to see a change of tactics to be more positive from the wide gate but he's trending the right way and should be hard to hold out.
The other bet I'll have on the card comes up in the feature where It'sourtime gets another crack at the Standish and it does look a winnable edition. He's a real rock and has been within a length or so of his best at his past two at Listed level, running to 109 and 108 on the RAS scale.
His best performances have all come at the Flemington 1200m and with queries on a few runners here, he looks the one nailed on to run his 110 rating, while the others have perhaps an ever so slightly higher peak, but also plenty worse ones in their locker.
