Saturday Racing Tips

I've got your betting needs sorted on Saturday with some free Horse racing tips to get a load of at Flemington. Shockletz is a horse to watch in Race 7 at Flemington. Also, for my cheeky value play, I've got my eye locked on Ant in Race 9 at Flemington. Runners should enjoy pretty good conditions on Saturday, the track surface is a soft 6 but that could improve. Happy punting!

Top Picks for Flemington – 5th July 2025

For this Saturday, here are my top bets of the day in 3 of the best races during the Flemington meeting.

Best Bet – Race 7: Shockletz
Win Odds: $4.20 | Place Odds: $1.80
Bookmaker: Bet Now with Playup

Top Tip (Best Bet):

Shockletz - Strong placing last start, showing consistency and determination. On 21/06/2025, Shockletz lined up at Flemington, finishing 2nd over 2000m. Connections will get to witness their horse racing with Harry Coffey in the saddle on Saturday. This jockey has plenty of wins under their belt.

Biggest Threat (Danger):

Vellasmachine - Held on for fourth last start, showing determination to the line. Vellasmachine competed at Flemington over 2000m, finishing 4th. Loves getting its hooves into soft ground and should relish these conditions. Still searching for that first win at Flemington, but it’s certainly not out of the question.

Value Play:

Ant - With three consecutive placings, Ant has shown its ability to stay competitive. Last start, Ant finished in the placings over 2000m at Kembla Grange on 21/06/2025. At this stage, Ben Melham is listed to ride him on Saturday. They should settle nicely into this race.

Best Bet – Race 8: Jimmy The Bear
Win Odds: $5.50 | Place Odds: $2.15
Bookmaker: Bet Now with Dabble

Top Tip (Best Bet):

Jimmy The Bear - Jimmy The Bear has demonstrated remarkable consistency, placing in three straight races. Jimmy The Bear ran at Flemington on 21/06/2025, finishing 1st in a 1620m event. On Saturday, Billy Egan will get to ride this one. A strong run between these two will be key. Proven performer at this venue, recording 3 wins and 6 placings from 10 starts.

Biggest Threat (Danger):

Yellow Sam - Placed in the top three in its last three starts, Yellow Sam is proving to be a consistent contender. Last outing, Yellow Sam took on a 1440m race at Caulfield and finished 1st. Could be another winning run.

Value Play:

Hughes - Hughes has placed in three straight races, showcasing consistency and form. Despite no wins yet at Flemington, Hughes has had some solid performances here.

Best Bet – Race 9: Fire Of Etna
Win Odds: $5.50 | Place Odds: $2.15
Bookmaker: Bet Now with VicBet

Top Tip (Best Bet):

Fire Of Etna - A winner last time out, bringing great form into this race. Last time out, Fire Of Etna competed over 1400m, placing 1st at Flemington. Unbeaten in these conditions, and looks ready to keep that streak going. Competitive on soft tracks with 2 wins.

Biggest Threat (Danger):

Stylish - Secured a win last start. Stylish competed at Sandown-Hillside over 1400m, finishing 1st. Hasn’t won at Flemington yet, but might be ready to change that. Solid on soft tracks, winning 3 times from 6 runs. Winning form is rare but possible with the right setup.

Value Play:

Running By - Finished a solid third last start, showing consistency. Running By stepped out at Sandown-Hillside on 14/06/2025, finishing 3rd over 1400m.

Jockey Watch: Ben Melham

Ben Melham should have a nice day at the track.
