VRC MEMBER CLINT JELLIS TROPHY
Results
MILFORD (2) has been a model of consistency at his last two outings and looks set to peak fourth up. Ran through the line late when a slick close up second over 2000m at Caulfield on June 24. Looks well placed with the claim today and should be able to race a little closer to the speed. DEEPSTRIKE (13) underrated gelding who can make a sharp improvement today after disappointing at latest. Looks well in with Gaudray's claim and best figures have him a genuine top four prospect. Group 1 placegetter NORMANDY BRIDGE (4) is racing in a rich vein of form and chasing his fourth straight victory. Should be suited on the Flemington track but will need a masterful ride from the draw. YOUNG WERTHER (3) had mixed success in Queensland over the carnival and back sharply in grade for this. Can finish in the minor money.
