SENTrack • August 2nd, 2025 1:39 pm
Cam Luke & David Taggart have your Saturday sorted on Trackside.
The lads have taken a close look at Flemington & Rosehill in a bid to find the family some winners.
See their best bets below:👇
Cam Luke
FLEMINGTON
Race 4 | 9. Documentary
Had no luck resuming down the straight and finally free hit the line really well. I think the 1100 suits it better and second time down the Flemington straight always an advantage. Faces similar horses than last time but I think they added fitness second up gives him the advantage today.
Race 5 | 14. Federer
Gets back to Melbourne which I think is a big tick. Has had a pretty good prep up in Sydney and I thought second time at 1800m last start was full of merit albeit, my money was lost. He’s drawn perfectly for Shinn to give him run of the race and I think he’s a 2000m horse and fourth up all works. $2.30 is as short as you want to back him at but I think he will be too good here!
Race 8 | 3. Hard To Cross (each-way)
Things haven’t exactly gone to plan for this bloke this prep and has been running in good races including last start in the Mildura cup. Drawn a nice gate to settle just behind the speed and up to the 1600m fourth up is perfect. Is quite an open race and I’m going to have a same race multi with One Long Day but this bloke is most certainly over the odds at $17 and is a great each way play.
Race 9 | 1. Stylish
Had her chance last start in a tougher race. Took a bump at the top of the straight and took a little while to really work into it before hitting the line really hard. The gate is a little concern but the major danger (Ten Deep) is drawn worse and she needs the lead so will work hard early. Track won’t be an issue and she is in super form this prep. If luck goes her way this time she will be winning!
ROSEHILL
Race 6 | 5. Phearson
Finally draws a gate where he can be really handy in the run. Had zero luck last start in a tough race always wide and had to go forward and honestly was a really brave run. Enjoy the Rosehill 1500m and a heavy track will most certainly be to its liking. In a very open race this horse will have speed map of the race. Hopefully can have some luck. Fingers crossed it can break the winning drought.
Race 7 | 7. Piggyback
LOVES the slop and gets back to the 2000m for the first time this prep! Blinkers go on so expect her to squeeze forward and not be far away from leaders. Her form the last two stacks up to this and the conditions will help her even more. TC should be able to take a trail and then get to middle of the track if that’s the best spot which is what I expect. I’ve got three in the quaddie. The fav who will be tough to beat but also Agita sf a big price. Heavy no dramas and has won third up before. Comes out of an ok race last start where the long run for home had him peaking. Include him as conditions suit!
David Taggart
FLEMINGTON
Race 3 | 6. De Bergerac
Has been no match for the handy La Fracas his past two and his last run was full of merit getting back onto a better surface. Nice drop in grade, drawn the right side, conditions suit and gets the Tom Prebble claim.
Race 4 | 9. Documentary
Didn’t have the best time of it first up and can bounce back here. Jamie Melham jumps on and she will give him time to balance up and get home hard.
Race 8 | 11. One Long Day
Draws next to Outta Compton and will also get the perfect run in transit. Caught the eye first up over an unsuitable trip who steps up to the more suitable mile. Is undefeated second up and is going to be hard to beat.
ROSEHILL
Race 6 | 1. Welwal
Scratched from Melbourne and will appreciate getting back onto a heavy deck. Forget last start where he found plenty of trouble. Can win.
Race 7 | 9. Juja Kibo
Made a mess of them last start when stepping up to a more suitable trip. Makes his way up North and takes the next step. All he has to do is handle the heavy to win.
