Victoria DerbySacred Elixir has been crunched in the market since his impressive win last week at Moonee Valley and subsequent draw in gate one for the Victoria Derby. Royals Jerseys 2019 .The Kiwi is bred to run the staying trip and is certainly the one to beat, but at $2.80 with UBET he has hit rock bottom and represents no value at all.With the favourite at that price, and with just two other runners presently in single figures, the betting suggests this is a Derby of little depth.Im not sure that is the case, however, and am happy to speck a few at longer odds.Swear finished just behind Yankee Rose (who then placed in the Cox Plate) in the Spring Champion Stakes and races as if hell appreciate the trip, even if his pedigree suggests he wont.Morvada was just behind Sacred Elixir in The Vase, and was very good leading against the pattern; this formline ties in another roughie in Silvera, who beat Morvada home the start prior and should be forgiven his luckless Vase defeat.So Si Bon was also good at the Valley and is looking for the extra journey, while Kent and Highlad are racing better than their form suggests and should be included. Captain Duffy, too, was strong in winning the Geelong Classic and cant be ignored.Recommended bet: No knock on the favourite but keener on playing the multiples. Box trifecta numbers 1,3,5,7,8,10,11,12.Coolmore Stud StakesThe race of the spring. These three-year-old sprinters are a fabulous group, and Saturdays stallion-making Group I is shaping as a definitive contest for several gallopers and their connections. One will emerge with reputation enhanced and a humungous price tag on his head; others will have their bubble burst.So where to start? There are currently six runners at $11 or shorter with UBET, suggesting an open race. But Im prepared to say this contest is between three horses: Extreme Choice, Astern and Star Turn.If youre a fan of Extreme Choice -- and, frankly, why wouldnt you be? -- youre getting great odds about a Blue Diamond winner who returned with a stunning win against his elders in the Group I Moir Stakes. Its possible to pick holes in the form -- the likes of Chautauqua, Buffering and Wild Rain have done little subsequently to uphold it -- but dont hold that against Extreme Choice; hes a star.Godolphin entrant Astern is following the Exosphere path here, having won the Golden Rose before being dropped in trip. His Group I win in Sydney over 1400m had the makings of a horse wanting further, not shorter; indeed, his shock defeat next start in the Roman Consul can be blamed partly on 1200m being inadequate, partly on pilot error. Either way, his closing sectionals were jet-like and that will hold him in good stead down the straight. Freshened since, Astern can do what Exosphere couldnt and win the Coolmore. But James McDonald will not want to get as far out of his ground as he did at Rosehill.Astern beat Star Turn in the Run To The Rose, running him down over Saturdays journey of 1200m, but the latters come on again since that narrow reverse to trounce open-class sprinters in the Group II Schillaci Stakes. Definite chance.In summary, Im leaning towards Extreme Choice at $3 with UBET, but Im scared stiff of Astern, one of ESPNs horses to follow through the Spring Racing Carnival, and have a healthy respect for Star Turn.Recommended bet: Include the aforementioned trio in all multiples from quinellas to first fours.Myer ClassicI was all set to make Dont Doubt Mamma my best bet of the day, but the barrier draw for this Group I for mares has muddied the waters.On form, Dont Doubt Mamma just about wins the Myer Classic. Her two wins this prep, both at Group II level, have been full of merit, and she dismissed any doubts about the mile with her last-to-first triumph at Moonee Valley last time. Whats more, Flemington is her favourite track.But gate No. 13 in a field of 15 is a worry, even for a mare that would probably get back anyway. As much of a concern could be the pattern of the day and pace of the race. Keen, but with concerns, and Ill want to see how the first few races unfold before committing.First Seal showed glimpses of her old form when winning a Group II at Caulfield last start, and she has a favourites chance, but, perhaps perversely given the remarks above, barrier No. 1 might not be the blessing it appears.One that does appeal at each-way odds is Danish Twist, the half-sister to Happy Trails with Joao Moreira aboard. She meets First Seal 2kg worse for a two-length defeat at Caulfield, but her run was just as good as the winners. Having her first go at the mile, but theres a good chance this will bring further improvement.Recommended bet: Dont Doubt Mamma to win at $6.50 with UBET, but have a saver each-way on Danish Twist at $8.50.Cantata StakesTough, tough race, as one would expect for a Group I mile handicap at the backend of spring. Its possible to make a case for at least half a dozen of these, and even then miss the winner.The United States is favourite at $6 with UBET, and rightly so; his win last Saturday in the Crystal Mile, off an interrupted preparation, was emphatic. The quick back-up, and the fact he stays at 1600m when he has good form over further, are question marks, but The United States is in form and in with a chance.Hes Our Rokkii, a good friend of this column, has been excellent all campaign, gaining his maiden Group I victory last start in the Toorak Handicap. Saturdays challenge will ask more of the gelding, but he remains progressive and could improve again.Take Palentinos last-start flop in the Epsom Handicap out of the equation and he would probably be the market elect. Loves Flemington and loves the mile. Discount at your peril.Darren Weirs Voodoo Lad is flying and a very interesting runner; if he takes to 1600m at the first time of asking, and can get cover from his wide draw, hell go close.Of the others, Le Romain was excellent in the Epsom and has a case, while the Chris Waller pair Mackintosh and McCreery come here in good form and should be afforded each-way chances. Prepared to leave out the three-year-old, Seaburge, but more on that below.Recommended bet: See no reason to desert Hes Our Rokkii, so back him each-way at $7.50 with UBET, but do the same with Palentino at $8.Best BetFlemington Race 2, No.2 Pretty Punk @ $4.80 with UBETHas been a revelation since being upped in trip, winning in Listed grade in Adelaide before running second against the boys in the Geelong Classic. Both of those formlines are well represented in the Derby later in the day, giving Pretty Punk an outstanding chance against her own sex in the Wakeful Stakes. Difficult to find a best bet on a fiendishly difficult Flemington Card, but this filly should be shorter than her current quote and will go close to winning.Over the OddsFlemington Race 9, No.4 Generalife @ $21 with UBETHas become something of a money muncher, flattering often only to deceive, but is very capable on his day and finds himself in a race that could be run to suit. Was very good last start over track and distance -- finishing not far behind The Quarterback, who was then excellent in the Group I Manikato Stakes -- and might have won this race last year but for a troubled passage. Might get out to silly odds on the day and is worthy of an each-way ticket.Lay of the DayFlemington Race 8, No.16 Seaburge @ $8.50Rather puzzling to see Seaburge running in the Cantala Stakes and not in the Carbine Club (or the Derby for that matter), so he should be respected on that point alone, but this is a huge ask for the three-year-old. Was visually impressive in the Caulfield Guineas, when just failing to peg back Divine Prophet, but had the kindest run of those to fight out the finish and might have been flattered somewhat. Even with that run taken on merit, Seaburge will need to improve again to get the better of these -- and looks poor value to do so.Under the OddsFlemington Race 1, No.7 Acatour @ $5 with UBETHas been in good form this prep but had every chance when third at Caulfield and meets a tougher field here. Mortons Fork was probably a better run that day, Hey Doc brings superior form via the Caulfield Guineas, and theres no telling how good Criterions half-brother Comin Through might be. Acatour is a chance on Saturday, but youre taking unders on him winning at the current price.Multi of the WeekendFlemington Race 1, No.3 Mortons Fork - PLACE @ $1.80Flemington Race 2, No.2 Pretty Punk - PLACE @ $1.90Flemington Race 4, No.8 Oceanographer - PLACE @ $1.43Flemington Race 5, No.3 Astern - PLACE @ $1.56Flemington Race 6, No.7 Dont Doubt Mamma - PLACE @ $2.40Multi price: $18.31 with UBET Kansas City Royals Shirts . The 43-year-old closer, in his 19th and final big league season, has said hed like to play the outfield.

Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0).

Jamaica Tallawahs 95 for 1 (Gayle 54, Walton 25*, Emrit 1-13) beat Guyana Amazon Warriors 95 (Tanvir 42, Imad 3-21, Williams 2-12, Shakib 2-25) by nine wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsA rematch from Wednesdays first Caribbean Premier League playoff qualifier between the regular seasons top two teams quickly turned into an uncontested romp for Jamaica Tallawahs, who rampaged past Guyana Amazon Warriors by nine wickets to claim their second CPL title on Sunday night at Warner Park. For Warriors, it was a flat effort that left them runner-up for the third time in four CPL seasons, twice to Tallawahs.Warriors were the regular season table-toppers and beat Tallawahs in two of their prior three meetings, including by four wickets in Wednesdays opening playoff match. On Sunday, however, they stumbled badly after being sent in by Chris Gayle at the toss and were bowled out for a franchise record low total of 93 in just 16.1 overs. Warriors never won a game while batting first in 2016, and lost all three games in which they batted first, with two of those losses coming against Tallawahs.Warriors were under pressure early when Nic Maddinson became the first of three batsmen dismissed first ball, edging Andre Russell behind in the first over. A bigger blow came at the start of the third over when Chris Lynn, the tournaments leading scorer, carved Shakib Al Hasan straight to Jonathan Foo at backward point for 7.Left-handed Sohail Tanvir was promoted up the order to No. 4 in an attempt to combat the left-arm spin threat posed by Shakib and Imad Wasim. At an individual level, the plan worked as Tanvir top-scored with 42 off 37 balls, but the rest of his team-mates struggled. Despite Tanvirs calm, chaos was ever-present at the opposite end. Dwayne Smith was one of just two others apart from Tanvir to reach double-figures but his stay ended for 17 when he top-edged a pull off Oshane Thomas to Rovman Powell at mid-on to make it 50 for 3 in the eighth.With the top three removed, Shakib and eventual Man of the Match Imad Wasim set about tearing through the middle order in ruthless fashion. Kansas City Royals Pro Shop. Jason Mohammed was trapped playing down the wrong line to an arm ball from Shakib for a golden duck to make it 53 for 4 before Imad took the first of his three wickets as Christopher Barnwell mistimed a slog to Gayle at short midwicket for 10. Two balls later, Anthony Bramble was bowled backing away for a slog and Imad claimed his third in four balls to start the 15th when Rayad Emrit was stumped for nought missing a flick to a leg-side wide to make it 83 for 7.Kesrick Williams also was on a hat-trick in the 16th over - he had Tanvir caught by Foo running in from the midwicket boundary, and followed it up with a gem of a delivery that jagged back in to knock Steven Jacobs off stump for 7. Adam Zampa survived the hat-trick ball to end the over, but was out one ball later after failing to ground his bat coming back for a second run with Williams relay from long leg to Sangakkara producing the end of the innings.Gayle propelled the chase with his third fifty-plus score of the season, reaching his half-century off 22 balls and ending up with 54 off 27 balls. He was dismissed flicking Emrit to Jacobs at deep midwicket. The Tallawahs captain ended the campaign as his sides leading scorer with 425 runs, third overall behind Lynn and St Lucia Zouks Johnson Charles. Gayles opening partner Chadwick Walton steered the rest of the chase with 25 not out, ending seventh overall in the CPL run charts with 301 runs and second for Tallawahs.However, it was the old pro Kumar Sangakkara who struck the winning runs with a four smeared wide of long-on off Veerasammy Permaul to clinch the title with 7.1 overs to spare. Russell was named Player of the Tournament thanks in large part to his scintillating 100 in Fridays knockout game against Trinbago Knight Riders. Russell struck the fastest century in Caribbean T20 history, off just 42 balls, and also broke a three-game Tallawahs losing streak lifting them into the final. ' ' '
