Moonee Valley September 24th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Race 6
8
Secret Blaze $5.5
Finally building up towards peak fitness and getting to a distance that will best suit him.
His resuming runs have been fantastic since missing over a year from the racing scene.
Last start he finished a handful of lengths away from Ayrton over 1400 metres, but was holding his spot against much sharper horses and hitting the line strongly.
He now gets up to 2000 metres and will settle in the first four with some cover.
The good rated track is going to be perfect for him and expect him to win this race.
Next Best - Race 7
3
The Inferno $5.5
The Inferno returned to winning form with a devastating turn of gears to win the McEwen Stakes (1000m) at Moonee Valley last start.
Cliff Brown might have just found the trick to this horse by instructing his jockey to ride cold over the short-course and letting loose late in the run.
There looks to be a heap of speed early in this race and Damian Lane can settle him just off the hot pace with cover and launch home late.
Brown dubbed him one of the best horses he had trained and if he can run well here, as we predicted, an Everest slot might beckon.
Best Roughie - Race 4
11
Lavish Girl $51/$10
Lavish Girl can improve after going under as a short-price favourite in BM-58 grade on the synthetic track of Pakenham over 1200 metres.
The big tick in her favour is she has had the run over 1200 metres, whereas a lot of her rivals are taking the step up from 1100 metres.
She won like a potential stakes horse after scoring a gritty victory to break her maiden tag.
Barrier five gives her the chance to settle one-off the fence with cover which is going to be the ideal run-in-transit for how the course will play.
