Moonee Valley racing tips

—

Race 1. (12:20) Evergreen Turf Handicap (1000m)

#7 – Tetsu Belle @ $4.20

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Tetsu Belle is on debut for Ciaron Maher following a jumpout win, and she could make a good early impression.

The well-bred daughter of Deep Field was purchased for $475,000, so she has some winning to do, and the betting is a good guide.

It’s not an easy race, but she’s worth following in the opener.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (12:55) Manhari BM84 (1200m)

#2 – Extratwo @ $6.50

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

We have stuck with Extratwo all season and we’re not about to jump off her back against a small field.

The five-year-old daughter of Toronado has been threatening to win a race after consecutive placings at The Valley and Bendigo.

Getting 3kg off her back is enough to take her close.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (13:30) Western General Bodyworks BM78 (1200m)

#6 – Excess @ $3.90

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Excess runs well at Moonee Valley with three starts for a win and a placing, so we’re happy to include her in horse racing picks.

She won four back at The Valley before placing behind Fission, and that’s a tidy form guide for this level of racing.

She will settle handy and look to give a good kick in the straight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:05) Frs Fire Services BM78 (1000m)

#3 – New York Lustre @ $4.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Looking to post five consecutive wins is New York Lustre, who went to another level in the spring with wins at Seymour, Flemington, and Sandown.

Her win down the Flemington straight in November was excellent, and she’s good enough to return from a spell with a big performance.

The stable is red-hot, so include her in picks.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (14:40) Ladbrokes Form Genius BM100 (1519m)

#2 – Nicolini Vito @ $5.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Looking to run well at each-way odds is Nicolini Vito, who was too smart for them at Caulfield against an open-class field.

The Hayes-trained gelding is a past winner at The Valley, which is always important, and he’s drawn to get all favours from the draw.

It’s a tricky field, but he’s worth backing at $5.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:15) Symal BM70 (1200m)

#6 – Dirty Grin @ $5.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Form is with Dirty Gin, who won at Benalla and Echuca before placing at Sandown last time out.

Sandown can be a tricky track to make ground at, and he should be better suited to a swoop around the outside at Moonee Valley.

After opening at $7.50, his odds have tumbled, which is a good sign.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (15:55) Revert Group Handicap (1200m)

#1 – Let’sfacethemusic @ $5.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Each-way value is with Let’sfacethemusic, who battled gamely behind Manolo Bling at Bendigo last start.

We expect that form to hold up well, and the three-year-old colt could firm considerably with betting markets on race day.

He only needs good trip in transit to finish best.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (16:30) Dynamic Print Group BM78 (2040m)

#3 – Fortune @ $5.50

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Fortune didn’t live up to his name with an unlucky run at Caulfield last start, but he’s good for a bounce back.

The five-year-old has been threatening to win a race this campaign, and with the help of a 2kg claim, he should be right in the mix.

Take the each-way odds in what is an even field.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 9. (17:10) Manhari Recycling BM78 (1600m)

#3 – Space Age @ $13.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Punters get double-figure odds for Space Age, who hasn’t been too far away with two fourths in Sydney this prep.

Sydney form stacks up well in Melbourne and running fourth behind Collect Your Cash should be a tidy form guide, especially at the odds.

3kg comes off his back, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
