The Newmarket Handicap Day action continues at Flemington with Race 3 – the $300,000 Group 2 VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) due to jump at 12:40pm (AEDST) and here the Races.com.au team have the late mail betting tip to get you winning big.

Betting on the 2011 VRC Sires Produce Stakes is currently lead by #3 Helmet at a quote of $2.30 through Luxbet.

Odds on this up-and-coming Exceed And Excel colt continue to firm as they are another juvenile from the stables of Peter Snowden who prepares Blue Diamond Stakes winner and Golden Slipper favourite Sepoy.

Coming off two back-to-back wins over 1200m at Rosehill, we can see how Helmet is getting the attention of punters.

But here is the exclusive trackside tip on Flemington Race 3 – bet on #1 Masthead for an upset.

Masthead is a market firmer in from $3.80 to $3.50 through Luxbet in the VRC Sires Produce Stakes betting odds.

Avoid the associated hype of Helmet being a stablemate to Sepoy and look at the quality of the favourites’ recent wins.

Masthead has faced, raced and won against much tougher company having taken out the Inglis Premier at Mornington on February 16 before running a game fourth to Sepoy in the Blue Diamond last start.

The Blue Diamond has been a good guide for the VRC Sires Produce Stakes and based on that form as well as the word on Masthead’s fitness at Flemington today, we are backing them all the way.

Visit Luxbet now and bet on Masthead at his current quote in the Flemington Race 2 markets but hurry!
