THREE GOOD CHANCES ON SATURDAY

Three good chances for us at home on Saturday with Milwaukee, Mr Marathon Man and Alburq running at Flemington.

Milwaukee runs in race six, he Listed Straight Six over his favourite 1200m course with Jye McNeil in the saddle.

It is a seven day turnaround for Milwaukee which finished a close third over 1100m at Flemington last Saturday and Mike Moroney is expecting another bold showing today.

“I think he’s probably drawn the right part of the track which is my one lile worry,” Moroney said.

“He hasn’t got a great wet track record but he’s so well and never runs a bad race on this straight course I’m prepared to run him.

“Provided he can cope with the track hen I think he’s got a great chance.”

Mr Marathon Man runs in race eight, the Apache Cat Handicap over 1600m with Michael Dee in the saddle but drawn out in 14.

“I think he’s got a bit in his favour today, the ground should not be an issue,” Moroney said.

“I thought his last run was good under the circumstances - the gear change we made to him had him running straight.

“Provided he jumps away on terms and does everything right I think he’s a good each-way chance.”

Alburq (pictured) rounds out the day in race nine, the Living Legends Plate over 1100m with Michael Poy reducing the weight to 56kg.

“I’m not sure about him on the ground but I think he can get out on a better part of the track,” Moroney said.

“He’s won up the straight and he’s fitter after two runs back. It’s a decent enough race but with ordinary luck he’s definitely a winning chance.”
