The Victoria Derby can often be a tough race as it is the first time a group of three-year-olds of varying abilities have reached 2500m
The Red Aces top the table after winning the Group 2 vase at The Valley last Saturday . Nick Ryan is looking for his first Group 1 win as a trainer, with Jamie Mott following suit with five career starts. It may be less than the $7 they currently offer. It’s always wise to respect rider Ciaron Maher in important races, so St. You should consider Emilion.
He won well over 2200m in the Geelong Classic last time after an equally dominant win at Goulburn a mile earlier. El Castello is the biggest contender after four straight wins, but the big difference (18) is a bit of a problem. Group 1 Centurion James MacDonald and Keeneland were able to get back into the race early. The possibilities don’t stop there.
