Racing Tips - Saturday Racing Tips for Moonee Valley

Racing is back at Moonee Valley for the first time since autumn, ahead of the track’s closure following the Cox Plate in October.

Best Bet

6. Takeko

Moonee Valley R3 (1.30pm)

Bet Now

BET NOW

Takeko was a beaten favourite first up but she had never won at 1000m prior and there was plenty of merit in the run. Out to 1200m second up, she will strip fitter and from barrier one will have no trouble finding the front. If she does that, expect her to take plenty of running down.

Recommended Price: $3.80
Confidence Level: 4/5

3. Lauding

Moonee Valley R1 (12.20pm)

Bet Now

BET NOW

Lauding’s recent form is indifferent but a return to his favourite track can spark some improvement. He has won three of his five starts here and Ciaron Maher has a real knack with getting these old stayers to find form. He’ll need some luck from the wide draw but his best is good enough art this level.

Recommended Price: $7.50
Confidence Level: 3/5

1. Mystery Island

Moonee Valley R2 (12.55pm)

Bet Now

BET NOW

Happy to play Mystery Island at huge odds here. This is a horse that started $5 in the Warrnambool Cup in May, at the $81 in early markets for this BM78 he has to be an each way bet. He will appreciate a drying track, and although he comes in here fresh, expect Shane Jackson to have him fit and ready.

Recommended Price: $31
Confidence Level: 3/5

5. Sayedaty Sadaty

Moonee Valley R7 (3.55pm)

Bet Now

BET NOW

Sayedaty Sadaty has struck a rich vein of form and can win again. The talented import has now posted back to back wins and he has the ability to race on the speed which is key around here. Should get the right run and with the claim for Logan Bates, be too good.

Recommended Price: $2.80
Confidence Level: 4/5

1. Apache Song

Moonee Valley R9 (5.10pm)

Bet Now

BET NOW

Talented mare Apache Song is well worth a spec in the last. She ran last first up in the G3 Monash, but this is a huge drop back to BM84 company. The mare boasts a placing in the G2 Australia Stakes at this track and actually won three straight here last summer. Well over the odds.

Recommended Price: $7.00
Confidence Level: 3/5
