Flemington Preview : The Time Is Now

DANNY O’Brien believes there a lots of pointers for his last start winner It’sourtime to be a strong factor in the VRC Community Plate (1400m).

He only has to look back to last year’s race when he was grabbed close to the line by Looks Like Elvis.

“That’s the only time he’s run over 1400m at Flemington and he’s been really effective,” O’Brien said on RSN.

“He had a similar preparation last winter. He was unlucky in the Straight Six and he was beaten a head last year in the same race.”

At his last start It’sourtime defeated the in-form D’Jumbuck to win the Straight Six over 1200 metres at Flemington.

The only other start It’sourtime ran over 1400 metres was when he finished third behind Poland in the 2021 Autumn Stakes.

O’Brien said It’sourtime should map well which was important for 1400 metres races.

He said because It’sourtime had run so many seconds he was down in the weights which also gave him an advantage.

It’sourtime is a $4 chance with TopSport.
