Vermentino well-placed to extend unbeaten streak at The Valley

Vermentino is the clear favourite for the Raymond Martin Handicap at Moonee Valley on Saturday. He is unbeaten in three starts and is expected to win the race. The horse is also the favourite in the Bagot Handiap. Vermentin is likely to be scratched from Sunday's straight-course assignment at Flemington. Ethan Brown has been entrusted with riding duties for his first time.
