The weather in Melbourne today is sunny and windy meaning the current Good (4) Flemington track rating looks set to stay across the afternoon.

Flemington racing gets underway at 12:05pm (AEST) with all nine races on the card holding Black-Type status.

First-up the two-year-olds face off in the Listed $175,000 Maribyrnong Trial Stakes (1000m), a field of nine remaining led in betting by General Beau ($1.80 @ Ladbrokes.com.au).

In race two it is the three-year-olds’ turn for the Listed $175,000 Poseidon Stakes (1100m) where the Chris Waller-trained September Run ($2.15 @ Ladbrokes.com.au) four out wide is the clear pick from the nine remaining chances.

In the third the middle-distance types do battle in the Listed $175,000 Paris Lane Stakes (1400m) where Group 1 winner Begood Toya Mother ($4.80 @ Ladbrokes.com.au) is tipped to enjoy a huge drop in grade.

The first of the Group status races on the program runs as Race 4 with the Group 2 Gilgai Stakes (1200m) for the potential The Everest 2020 horses with Tofane ($2.90 @ Ladbrokes.com.au) – already confirmed for the world’s richest turf race on October 17 in Sydney – leads the markets.

A bumper line-up of VRC Oaks-bound fillies are engaged in Race 5 with no scratchings in the Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes, betting for which has the Godolphin-raced Thermosphere ($4 @ Ladbrokes.com.au) on top.

Plenty of eyes will be on Race 6 at 3:05pm (AEST) with a ballot exemption for the $8 million Lexus Melbourne Cup is on offer in the Group 3 The Bart Cummings – six out of the event and odds firming on the favourite Shared Ambition ($4.60 @ Ladbrokes.com.au) for Waller.

The day’s feature race is of course Flemington Race 7 with all 15 original acceptors still in the mix for the Group 1 $500,000 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) where Verry Elleegant ($5 @ Ladbrokes.com.au) and Surprise Baby ($5.50 @ Ladbrokes.com.au) are engaged in a two-way battle for favouritism.

Three have come out of the next with the Group 2 Rose Of Kingston Stakes field – formerly the Blazer Stakes – a wide open affair where WA’s Perfect Jewel ($4.80 @ Ladbrokes.com.au) holds narrow favouritism.

The nine-race card then comes to a close at 5:05pm (AEST) with the Listed $175,000 Super Impose Stakes (1800m).
