Moonee Valley October 22nd, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Race 1
6
Marine One $2.45
Burned the candle at both ends to win his maiden race in style when resuming in his second preparation last start.
Showed brilliant speed from the barrier and then let down with a cracking change of speed to put his rivals away with ease.
The on-pace favourable track that is Moonee Valley will suit this three-year-old colt’s blistering sustained speed to great effect.
Barrier four means he will not have to do too much work too find the front and he maps to lead this race with ease.
Next Best - Race 3
1
Only Words $2.3
Anything over odds on is a gift for this horse.
Should be a clear favourite in this race only giving 3.5kgs to country-rated horses who are nowhere near her level.
Will enjoy a beautiful run camped up on the speed just behind the leaders who will not have the sprint when the whips are cracking that she possesses.
This is arguably her best distance range as well and she is now fully fit and ready to show her absolute best this preparation which is at least two to three lengths superior to this field.
Best Roughie - Race 6
6
Diesel 'N' Dust $11/$3
Looks ready to fire with Damien Oliver going on board from an inside gate.
This horse drew out wide at Ballarat and pressed to do a bit of work in order to find a spot handy the lead speed.
Barrier one gives Oliver the opportunity to get the suck run up behind the leaders and then peel to use this sprinter’s nice late finishing burst.
The stalking role looks perfect for this horse who is like a coiled spring and needs to be cuddled early in the race to then use his sprint in the last 250-300 metres.

What a very tough quaddie we have on our hands at the Valley.
Going to target a heap of runners first, second and third legs, then come home thin in the last in a bid to get the favourite up.
We will to have to outlay a touch more than usual to get a good percentage, so let’s cheer home the roughies.
