Flemington Review: JMAC Dominates Again

There’s little doubt who the best jockey riding in Australia is at the moment and that’s James McDonald.

He was at it again putting on a clinic at Flemington riding four winners making a great start to the Melbourne Cup carnival.

It’s hard to believe he can do so well in Australia when he’s riding against the likes of Bowman, Oliver, Lane, McEvoy, Rawiller, Shinn, Williams, Kah, Zahra , Melham, McNeil, Berry, Clark, Avdulla, Nolen and Pike but that’s what’s going on.

Craig Williams is probably sitting at number two. He’s finding the right spots and he looks happy and contented in all parts of his riding from his demeanor to his riding tactics.

Unfortunately, McDonald won’t be in action to try and make it two Melbourne Cups in a row.
Who wins? The question for punters is, do they want to take the odds presented on Deauville Legend? View Bet365 Odds

He’s going to be hard to beat but he’s an unknown on a heavy track.

Gold Trip tocks a lot of the boxes. He was unlucky to have been beaten in the Caulfield Cup and he should have finished a lot closer in the Cox Plate.

He loves it wet and his fourth in the 2020 Prix ‘l’arc De Triomphe underlines his class. His stablemate Smokin’ Romans had little go right in the Caulfield Cup. Ciaron Maher has trained him specifically for this race. View PLAYUP Racing Markets Here

Another international Without A Fight has great form credentials and has been set for this for a long time.
