Betseeker has you covered for free expert horse racing tips and best bets at Moonee Valley and Gawler.

The two day Cox Plate festival kicks off with an eight race program, the highlight of which is the Moonee Valley Gold Cup. At Gawler, it’s Cup day.

Best Bet

10. Positivity
Moonee Valley R7 (9.15pm)

Positivity was an enforced scratching from the Caulfield Cup but it has worked out well for the mare who is beautifully placed in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup with just 52.5Kg under the set weights and penalties. Her form has been excellent coming into this – last start at Flemington was a total forgive – and connections have suggested they intend to ride her more forward this time.

Recommended Price: $4.60
Confidence Level: 4.5/5

9. Limbering
Gawler R6 (6.25pm)

Tough mare Limbering has struck a rich vein of form this time in and looks well placed to record another win. She was narrowly beaten last time out at Morphettville and draws to once again control things from the front. Trainer Stephen Theodore is on fire at present.

Recommended Price: $5.00
Confidence Level: 3.5/5


5. Sir Kingsford
Gawler R7 (6.55pm)

Local champ Sir Kingsford looks superbly placed in the Gawler Cup. He comes off a terrific run behind Air Assault in the Balaklava version and this is a notch or two easier. From barrier eleven Todd Pannell will lead which is never a bad thing around this track.

Recommended Price: $3.50
Confidence Level: 4/5


8. Divine Thoughts
Moonee Valley R1 (6.15pm)

Divine Thoughts only won a maiden last start but did it in terrific style, with a final margin of victory of 4.5 lengths and running time about half a second faster than the BM64 on the same program. She’s long shown above average ability and looks well placed to make it two in a row.

Recommended Price: $3.00
Confidence Level: 4/5


10. Running By
Moonee Valley R6 (8.45pm)

Running By comes off a flop in the Let’s Elope Stakes but that can surely be attributed to the wet track she struck there. She is a much better commodity on top of the ground as shown by her impressive win two starts back and she is well weighted here with just 56Kg. John Allen can hopefully slot outside the leader and be too strong late.

Recommended Price: $4.00
Confidence Level: 4/5
