Best Bet

2. Evaporate
Moonee Valley R6 (8.45pm)

Evaporate is looking for four straight wins and the gelding looks primed in this year’s Stutt Stakes. His last two wins have come at this track, the most recent over a mile, and the form has stood up well. From barrier two he can track likely leader Dawn Service throughout and prove too strong late.

Recommended Price: $4.00
Confidence Level: 4/5

8. Gallant Son
Moonee Valley R1 (6.15pm)

Gallant Son was a phenomenal winner on debut back in June, with the final margin of victory being six lengths in superb time. Spelled since, the son of Written Tycoon and Group 1 winner Plucky Belle has trialled up nicely for this and he gets the advantage of barrier one. Should lead and win.

Recommended Price: $2.80
Confidence Level: 4/5


1. Unflinching
Moonee Valley R3 (7.15pm)

Unflinching is a huge price here for a horse with such an outstanding record around Moonee Valley, having won here on five occasions. There was nothing wrong with his first up run in Sydney and Mark Zahra should give him every chance a pair or two back at most.

Recommended Price: $12
Confidence Level: 3/5


4. Geegees Mistruth
Moonee Valley R5 (8.15pm)

Geegees Mistruth was exceptional on her mainland debut chasing home Drifting and the ex-Tasmanian looks primed second up. Ben Melham will give her every chance from barrier four and 1200m second up looks ideal.

Recommended Price: $5.00
Confidence Level: 3.5/5


13. Hayasugi
Moonee Valley R7 (9.15pm)

Hayasugi finally draws a barrier and that can prove the key to success in the 2024 Manikato Stakes. Make no mistake, she has performed exceptionally well coming from behind, most recently in the Moir Stakes, which looks the outstanding form reference leading into this. From barrier two Jamie Kah can stalk the speed and use her brilliant acceleration late.

Recommended Price: $5.00
Confidence Level: 3.5/5


5. Alsephina
Moonee Valley R8 (9.45pm)

Ex-WA mare Alsephina looks ideal placed in the Stocks Stakes under the set weight and penalties conditions. Despite being the highest rated runner in the field she gets in beautifully with 55Kg. Willie Pike will get back on her, but she can storm over them late.

Recommended Price: $3.50
Confidence Level: 4/5
