Our Chief stands out on pure form with a last-start Open win at Caulfield 2400m and prior placings in stronger company. Barrier 2 and likely leader role suit the projected slow tempo perfectly at Flemington R1 where on-pace dominates.

TAB We''re On (Bm84)
Black Run maps perfectly on-pace from barrier 3 in a slow-tempo race that favours leaders early at Flemington.
Bluestone is a model of consistency who thrives on Good ground and draws perfectly in barrier 1. Light weight and ability to settle handy suit the slow tempo and early-race on-pace bias. Class rise is a query but his place strike rate and map make him a solid top-three chance.
Slow tempo and back map are negatives but Flemington's long straight and his finishing power offer genuine each-way value.

Jockeys Celebration Day Sprint
She is in top form, has a 1000m Open win on Good ground, and should be prominent throughout from barrier 5.
Eurocanto returns to the exact conditions of his only win, a Listed 1000m at Flemington, after a string of tough Group assignments over unsuitable distances. The gelding operation, first-time tongue tie and strong first-up statistics suggest he can resume sharply. The back-running map and 59.5kg are concerns, so he ranks third and is best kept to a place ticket.
Superbec is the value runner. Barrier 1 and a proven stable/jockey link increase the likelihood of sharp improvement.

Phar Lap 100th Birthday (Bm100)
Clear form horse after placing last start in identical conditions at Flemington. Handy barrier and map allow control in slow tempo. Weight is a query but class and fitness override. Most likely winner on pure form and suitability.
Reliable recent Flemington form with consecutive placings at the trip. Waller preparation and McNeil booking positive. Slow tempo and backmarker draw are mild negatives but long straight and class keep him competitive. Solid each-way chance behind the form leader.
Outstanding UK distance and good-track form plus light weight give upside. Recent Aussie runs ordinary but 2000m return and gear change can spark improvement. Third-best win chance; each-way appeal if tempo allows midfield finish.
Competitive in last two BM100s and thrives on good ground. Slow tempo and early-race bias aid.

Victorian Jockeys'' Association Trophy (Bm74)
Kahhof is the clear form horse after winning a BM78 last start and placing prior at this level. Distance specialist with peak fitness, advantageous draw and slight class drop. On-pace map suits Flemington early-race bias. Most likely winner on pure form and recency.
Fear No Evil maps perfectly from barrier 1 in a race favouring handy runners early on the card. Solid second-up effort in BM78 and excellent connections. Strong each-way claims and genuine winning threat if controlling tempo.
Shinn booking lifts and Good-track record is solid. Wide gate is a negative but long Flemington straight allows him to finish strongly into the placings or better.
Itazura offers genuine overlay value.

Horses'' Birthday (Bm78)
Salizou is flying and already a Flemington 1400m Open winner. She beat Cherish Me last start and remains lightly raced with huge upside. Wide gate is the only query but the long straight and progressive profile allow her to overcome. Clear second-best winning chance on pure form.
Cherish Me ran a career-best last start when second in Open grade at this track and trip. Drops sharply into BM78 with a perfect draw and will settle handy. Reliable each-way/place chance behind the top two.
Stealth Of Night is the clear form horse. Second-up record is perfect and she thrives on Good ground at this trip. Barrier 4 allows a perfect map under the moderate tempo to be top-three at the 400m. Last-start failure is easily forgiven as a short first-up run. Class and consistency make her the most likely winner.
Recent form is solid with consecutive seconds and she maps to improve late.

2026 Melbourne Cup Carnival On Sale (Bm84)
Kaleo is the clear form horse after winning an Open at Flemington last start and dropping sharply in grade. Track specialist with two wins from five here and proven at the trip. Ideal draw and fitness peak under Maher/Johnstone.
Lightly raced improver who maps well and has top connections.
Shockletz brings superior class dropping from BM100/Listed into this BM84. Wide gate and weight are negatives but the class edge and finishing power make her a strong each-way chance in a moderate tempo race.
Inside draw is a major asset on this track and he can settle handy in a moderate tempo.

Aurie''s Star Hcp
In-form progressive type who won the Flemington Listed last start and maps perfectly second-up. Light weight and proven at the trip give him every chance to run a big race against the classier first-up horses. Strong each-way contender.
Reliable Group performer who loves Flemington and returns with a strong first-up record. Maps to sit handy in a moderate tempo and has the class to feature. Ideal each-way/place type behind the top two.
Clear form and class standout. Moderate tempo and inside draw allow a perfect trail into the long straight.

26/27 VRC Membership Renewals Open (Bm100)
Light weight and inside draw amplify her control. First-up is the sole query but prior fresh effort was strong and connections signal intent. Justifies favouritism on pure merit.
Coeur Volante is in career-best form with three straight wins including a narrow BM100 defeat of Rise At Dawn and Ten Commandments. Distance specialist who maps forward and has a perfect rider combo. Weight and Good-track stats are queries but current trajectory and class drop keep her firmly in the finish.
Light weight and barrier 3 suit ideally. Good-track win drought is a mild concern but Flemington Good/Soft play similarly and her overall profile is rock-solid for a strong placing chance with winning upside.
Rise At Dawn offers clear overlay after a narrow last-start BM100 second and with proven Flemington credentials. Second-up and maps to settle on-pace under the slow tempo.

VRC.com.au Sprint (Bm78)
She is fit, drawn well in gate five with a comfortable 56.5kg, and Farley has won two of four on her. With a moderate tempo likely she should be close enough to the speed at the 400m to use her sustained finish down the long straight.
The strongest distance credential in the field with three wins from five at 1100m plus a nose second on this track in March. Egan is 27% at Flemington and 32% for this stable, and gate two gives him the handy position the track rewards. Fair each-way play rather than a win proposition.
