Moonee Valley October 23rd, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Race 7
1
Forgot You $2
The class horse in the field who meets his opposition at levels weights.
None of this field have raced in the company he has this preparation and he looks all over a Derby in the making.
His sustained speed and ability to hit the finish post with vigour is what sets him apart from the rest of this field.
Barrier nine should see him slot into a midfield spot with some cover and he can tag the back of the horse to make the move in the three-wide running line.
Next Best - Race 8
12
Floating Artist $3.2
Floating Artist should have run in the Caulfield Cup last week if not for being ridden too slowly out in the lead of the Coongy Cup.
Bobs up in the Moonee Valley Cup and will look to set a much faster tempo out in front in order to beat this field with his strong fitness base.
Doubt the track will have any grievances on his chances with his ability to handle good or soft going not an issue.
Best Roughie - Race 5
8
Mokulua $12/$3.5
Market has fancied her in the last few starts but she has been butchered and the victim of circumstance in pretty much every run this preparation.
No idea what Craig Williams was doing on her last start when finding the front at the slowest possible speed he could go on this filly and turning the race into chaos.
Gets a much kinder setup here with James McDonald finding the ride and being drawn to take a sit off what looks to be a hot early tempo.
Think this horse has plenty to give and she has been running some nice late sectionals, so could very well be finishing hard late in the race.
