Bravo Tango with wins at Donald and Geelong at his only two starts is taking on the big boys in the $120,000 Luggage Stakes over 1400 metres.

Freedman said the three-year-old deserved a metropolitan start following his two impressive country victories.

“I think Bravo Tango is good enough to win but it’s a big rise in class,” he said. “I’m sure he will learn a lot from the run. It’ll be a good experience for him. We never nominated for any of the big spring races because I’ve always thought he will be a better horse in the autumn. There’s still a fair bit of improvement in him. I’ve always had a high opinion of the horse and he hasn’t let me down.”

Last start Makybe Diva stakes winner Humidor, trained at Darren Weir’s Warrnambool satellite stable will try to stop champion mare Winx win her 21st consecutive race when they line up in the $500,000 group 1  Turnbull Stakes.

Humidor is a $6 chance to win the Caulfield Cup on October 21 on the back of his Makybe Diva victory. The lightly raced five-year-old is one of numerous runners from Weir’s Warrnambool stable that will be running on the nine race Flemington program.

Bons Away will be trying for his fifth consecutive win when he runs in the $200,000 Gilgai Stakes. The four-year-old will be having his first start for new trainer Aaron Purcell, who took over training duties from Ciaron Maher , while he serves  a six month suspension. Purcell’s other runners formerly trained by Maher are  Rellson, Lady Bithiah and Schism.
