Derby Day at Flemington has long been considered Australia’s premier race meeting with all races at Group level. By the end of the day, punters can begin making their mind up as this is the last opportunity to expose real form before the Melbourne Cup
run this Tuesday.
The best 3yo colts will be lining up to contest the historical VRC Derby. Most punters believe it’s all but a one horse race with Efficient dominating the betting. He was ultra impressive at the Valley on Saturday, defeating many of his rivals here in the Derby. Teranaba will probably lead or will sit close to the pace and is not without a show. The main danger to the favourite looks to be the Norman Robinson winner, Get Square. He was ridden in front last time out and found a lot under pressure. It’s doubtful he’ll be as close to the lead this time out but will finish very hard. The Kiwi, The One, is also in with an each way chance.
