BEST BET
Race 4, No.2 - LUSKAIRE ($6 on TAB)

Saturday 29th November – ROSEHILL GARDENS

8. FLYING FOR FUN ($6.50 on TAB) drops back from Group One company with connections having a throw at the stumps in the VRC Sprint down the Flemington straight. The four-year-old mare was flattened by the eventual winner Giga Kick yet she boxed on well in that company to be beaten four lengths. Going back to her second-up run, she took late ground off 5. Zealously ($4 favourite) at Warwick Farm and the winner broke the track record. With plenty of speed on paper, a kind draw and 53kg on her back, she gets her chance to turn the tables.

4. ACCREDITED ($7.50) has returned as well as ever. He’s has been narrowly beaten in two runs back, including last start in The Hunter behind tough nut stablemate Coal Crusher. Can only see the six-year-old racing well again as what you see is what you get with the All Too Hard gelding at the moment. It was the same at the backend of last campaign. He is very genuine, hard fit now third-up and will be looking to add another cherry to the top of Joe Pride’s spring carnival. This doesn’t look to be a fast race on paper either and Accredited can roll forward.

5. MAJOR BEEL ($41) might be going better than the form guide suggests. He knocked up late over the mile first-up in the Big Dance Wild Card before being beaten for speed early at Flemington. He never got into the race but stuck on okay through line. It wasn’t that long ago he was racing in the 7 Stakes, Epsom and King Charles. The six-year-old is racing like he needs 2000m. Third-up last campaign he tackled this track and trip and ran second to Touristic as a $6 chance. Appears enormous odds.

2. FROSTY GIRL ($1.95 fav) lost her unbeaten tag at Rosehill three weeks ago but through no fault of her own. She was a good thing beaten. It was a horror watch for punters that took the short quote. She’s back to right that wrong over the same track and trip in the same grade. She also comes back to her own sex. Nash Rawiller looks the right jockey for the job. There will be a nervous moment or two given her pattern and where she has drawn, but should be ripping home over the top. Well placed to atone.
