First Race | 3pm AEDT |
Visit Dabble |
Flemington Racecourse will hold its final meeting of 2023 on Wednesday afternoon from 3pm AEDT. Although there is rain forecast on Tuesday, the track is expected to stay at a Good 4 rating. The rail will be out in the +14m position for the entire circuit; however, with all seven races taking place down the straight, it shouldn’t influence any races.
Kensington Stakes – Najem Suhail
A small field of seven will contest the Listed Kensington Stakes, Najem Suhail from the Robbie Griffiths & Mathew de Kock looks tough to beat. This six-year-old gelding was last seen winning the Listed Century Stakes at the track and trip, where he defeated Spacewalk in a tight finish during the Melbourne Cup Carnival. Although there is a lot of speed in this race, this son of Starspangledbanner possesses a fast start and should be able to find the lead and prove hard to run down.

Race 7 – #3 Najem Suhail (3)

Best Bet at Flemington – Joseylin
Joseylin drops back in grade to race against her own sex after two solid performances over 955m and 1000m. In her most recent start, the Ben, Will & JD Hayes-trained mare finished a close second behind It’s Kind Of Magic over 1000m at Warrnambool. This daughter of Pride Of Dubai has experience down the Flemington straight, winning one of her two starts over the track and trip. Carleen Hefel’s claim brings the weight down to 59kg, and Joselyn should get a nice run in behind the speed before unleashing her big finish in the final 200m.
Best Bet
Race 3 – #2 Joseylin (6)
5yo Mare | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Carleen Hefel (a1.5) (60.5kg)

Next Best Bet at Flemington – Mornington Glory
Gavin Bedggood took Mornington Glory to Sandown last start, where he finished fourth as a beaten favourite over 1200m. That came after winning at Geelong fresh and then running a credible second behind Rey Magnerio at Flemington second-up. This son of Shalaa has only missed the placings once from five starts over 1100m (5:2-2-0), so dropping back from 1200m appears to be the right move. With Luke Currie in the saddle, expect him to be close to the speed and ready to strike at the 300m mark.
