Moonee Valley (07/10)

Moonee Valley

Race One

10.Torah – 9.Our Smokin Rock – 4.Welcome Advice - 7.Charmarama

Race Two

2.Rose Pattern – 1.Classic Elle – 4.Twilighting – 3.Mo Vo

Race Three

5.Crafty Cruiser – 1.Gotta Take Care – 3.Madaba Flyer – 8.Daaloob

Race Four

8.No Means Go – 10.Belle Diva – 4.Alpha Proxima – 2.That’s Not It

Race Five

1.Dance With Her – 3.Sister Norma – 5.Placement – 7.Model To Nite

'Dance With Her' has been nothing but consistent this preparation and is by far and away the class runner of the field. I believe with the rail out 7 metres she will lead easily and kick clear rounding for home. 'Sister Norma' is a developing stayer who with every run shows great improvement, if not too far back in the run, she will be right in the finish.

Race Six

8.La Praline – 3.Verdasco – 1.Private Jeune – 10.Bellantina

My love/hate relationship with 'La Praline' will be put to the ultimate test tonight. Carrying only 54 KGs on her back, she will push forward and will be extremely hard to run down. This race should only be a small stepping stone for her on the way to bigger and better races during the Spring Carnival.

Race Seven

4.Sunset Café – 3.Buzzwin – 9.Almindoro – 8.Testas Double

In what is a small but extremely competitive affair, 'Sunset Cafe' showed enough promise in his last campaign for me to give him the nod. After running encouragingly over a short distance first up, stretching out to the 2040 of the Valley should suit perfectly. The lightly raced stayer will face tough opposition from the ultra-competitive 'Buzzwin' and another emerging stayer 'Almindoro'.

Race Eight

11.Cosmic Causeway – 9.Invincible You – 4.Another Prelate – 1.Gold Sand

An extremely hard race to end the program, but it's difficult to go past 'Cosmic Causeway'. After last campaign competing with potential Group star 'Speediness', he returned to form with a nice win in an easier affair last start. Moody should have him peaking into this race, and will get a gun run from barrier 6. 'Invincible You', 'Another Prelate' and 'Gold Sand' all have big chances if they handle the tight turning Valley track.
