The Emirates Stakes Day action for 2010 kicks off with Flemington Race 1 today – the $150,000 Group 3 Maribyrnong Plate (1000m) – due to jump at 11:10am (AEDST).

The 2010 Maribyrnong Plate field features 14 emerging two-year-olds stepping up to Group level today, with David Hayes’ young Stratum filly Eramor looking hard to beat.

Eramor won on debut at Caulfield back on October 13 in impressive style and after her speedy display and good barrier five draw in the Maribyrnong Plate can keep the winning going again today.

• Races.com.au Favourite: #14 Eramor – Rated Special to Win at Luxbet
• Best Place Bets: #1 Masthead and #12 Whitlam – Luxbet

Lee Freedman’s Written Tycoon colt Masthead was unlucky last start finishing second behind Elite Falls in the Inglis 2YO at Moonee Valley on debut and represents good value in your exotic picks today drawn well in barrier two, starting positions especially important in these two-year-old races.

The Peter Snowden-trained Whitlam is fit and coming off an eye-catching barrier trial win and is a brilliant first up chance here.
