Winx might be in action in Sydney but the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival also features Group 1 racing at Flemington Racecourse today, Saturday March 3, the full Australian Guineas Day 2018 scratchings and track report detailed below.
The Melbourne forecast is for a cloudy but fine day across the afternoon and with no chance of rain until Sunday morning, the current Good (4) Flemington track rating is set to remain making for a perfect day’s racing.
Flemington racing gets underway at 12:45pm (AEDT) and the nine-race program continues through until 5:45pm (AEDT).
The action is headlined by Flemington Race 7 where the Australian Guineas 2018 field features a capacity line-up of 16 three-year-olds with only the race emergencies coming out.
Australian Guineas betting at Ladbrokes.com.au is led by the Darren Weir-trained Cliff’s Edge ($4.80) now jumping from barrier 15, which last produced a winner of the autumn mile classic with the fellow Weir-trained Palentino in 2016.
Punters are treated to two other Group status races with nine fillies and mares left in the 2018 Frances Tressady Stakes field (Race 4) after the scratching of Savaju (3) and the 2018 Autumn Handicap (Race 6) losing Coldstone (6) and Dodging Bullets (3).
