HOT TIPS: WEEKEND BEST BETS

FLEMINGTON

MATT STEWART (Herald Sun). Form: 52300

ZUPACHARGED

Race 7, No 12

Both runs this time in terrific, with excellent late sectionals. Big chance each-way.

TAB Fixed Odds: $13

DANNY RUSSELL (Herald Sun). Form: 05287

LADY ESPRIT

Race 4, No. 2

Filly with a lot of potential and a cruise control button. Bolted in under Ollie last start.

TAB fixed odds: $4.80

NICK QUINN (TAB). Form: 55414

HARBOUR GREY

Race 2, No. 7

This will be the first time in his career he has not started favourite, is knocking on the door of a win and is thrown in at the weights after the claim. Looks an each-way special.

TAB fixed odds: $6

MICHAEL MANLEY (Herald Sun). Form: 845x3

INSPECTOR

Race 3, No. 5

Solid galloper who tried hard at Caulfield last week. This is easier and may now want 2000m.

TAB fixed odds: $8

CHRIS VERNUCCIO (Superracing). Form: 05246

MAGNA ROSSA

Race 4, No. 7

Effortless win at Sale last start when trapped three wide. Has strong Saturday-grade form around Green Card and Jalan Jalan back in July, so she should be up to this grade.

TAB fixed odds: $4.60

Double take? Sir John Hawkwood wins the Christmas Cup at Royal Randwick two weeks ago. Picture: Jenny Evans

ROYAL RANDWICK

SIMON MOY (Superracing) Form: 11x263

SIR JOHN HAWKWOOD

Race 5, No. 1

Impressive last-start winner over same distance and track. No reason why he cannot do it again despite giving away plenty of weight. Tough customer.

TAB Fixed Odds: $4.40
