Ep. 313 |๐Ÿ”ฅ Epsom & Turnbull Stakes Preview ๐Ÿ† Flemington + Randwick | Mailbag Preview Show

๐Ÿ”ฅ The Mailbag Preview Show is back for Episode 313! Dicko, Pete & Scuz dive into a massive Saturday of racing, with the spotlight on Randwick & Flemington. Weโ€™ve got Group 1s, form lines to debate, and plenty of punting angles to dig into. Expect strong opinions, sharp analysis, and the usual dose of banter. ๐Ÿ† Epsom Handicap (Randwick, Race 8) Everyoneโ€™s talking about Autumn Glow โ€” social media has christened her โ€œBaby Winx.โ€ The big question: can she keep the unbeaten streak alive from a wide barrier? - Autumn Glow chasing unbeaten streak from wide draw - Ceolwulf back to proven tactics, seen as a danger - Famous roll call of winners: Ceolwulf (2024), Rediener, Kovalica, Winx (2015) ๐Ÿ† Turnbull Stakes (Flemington, Race 8) The Turnbull is stacked โ€” nine Group 1 winners in the one field. Thatโ€™s as deep as it gets this time of year. Via Sistina, the defending champ, is the one punters canโ€™t agree on โ€” some reckon sheโ€™s right back in form, others not convinced. - Nine G1 winners clash in one of the deepest Turnbulls in years - Via Sistina defending her crown โ€“ divided opinions on her form - Honour roll: Via Sistina (2024), Gold Trip, Winx, Verry Elleegant, Incentivise ๐Ÿ† Gilgai Stakes (Flemington, Race 9) The Gilgai buzz is all about the Flemington straight โ€” punters reckon you either love it or hate it, and itโ€™s a big factor here. Stretan Angel is getting some love for consistency, and La Fracas keeps popping up in punting threads as the one who might break through. - Flemington straight form the key talking point - Stretan Angel backed for her consistency, La Fracas the โ€œsmokeyโ€ - Past winners: Right To Party (2024), Star Patrol (2023), Private Eye (2022) ๐Ÿ† Danehill Stakes (Flemington, Race 6) Plenty of chat about Tentyris โ€” the Freedman colt looks fit and ready to fire, and punters are keen to see if he can measure up against some serious opposition. The Danehillโ€™s always a key straight-track sprint for the 3-year-olds, and everyoneโ€™s already calling it the springboard into the Coolmore. Itโ€™s not just about Saturday, itโ€™s about what these colts might be worth as stallions if they deliver here. - Tentyris being tipped as a major threat after a strong prep - Danehill seen as the lead-in to the Coolmore Stud Stakes and stallion-making races - Famous winners include First Settler, Stretan Angel, Giga Kick, Sepoy, Black Caviar, Fastnet Rock ๐Ÿ“ Chapters: 0:00 โ€“ Intro 01:15 โ€“ Flemington: Turnbull, Gilgai & Danehill Stakes 28:08 โ€“ Randwick: Epsom Handicap 36:21 โ€“ Around The Grounds ๐Ÿ”ฅ Join the Community ๐Ÿง  VIC + NSW Mounting Yard Mails โ€“ Pistol Pete & Rob Scurry with the ponies whispering to them ๐Ÿ“Š VIC Rated Prices โ€“ Jack Dickens has you covered for every runner in every race on Wednesdays & Saturdays with his prices and what you should do! ๐Ÿ’ฐ Perth Plays โ€“ Pistol Pete finds all the angles in Perth with a rundown for each Metro meeting! ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://www.themailbag.com.au/ ๐Ÿ“ฃ Sponsorships or Collabs?
