Petits Filous will look to remain unbeaten when she heads to Mooney Valley under Friday night lights in the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m). Join The Roar before the race start-time of 9:45pm (AEST) for tips, mounting yard information and late mail.
Talented three-year-old filly Petits Filous starts as favourite after winning all four of her career starts.
She will carry just 51 kilograms, already has a win on this track, and her sectionals are good. But while this is a big step up in class, at just above $2.30 I am happy to take the risk.
Fonition is another three-year-old filly with four starts, winning three of those including one over track and distance here at Moonee Valley. Had some injury concerns but will be hard to beat at weights if fully fit. She is the second favourite in the race at around $4.80.
Angelic Light beat Lankan Rupee at this course in a 1000m weight for age race. Her trials have been okay, but if she can reproduce the form that defeated Lankan Rupee she might be value at $9.
Buffering won this race last year when the distance was 1200m. He has had 42 weeks off but the old war horse is full of class and Damian Browne on board means Buffering is a chance at $8.
Joe Pride loves to pump up his sprinters and Ball of Muscle could do damage. The five-year-old gelding has had 15 starts and never been out of the trifecta! His only Melbourne start was a second behind Hard Romp, while conceding 9 kilograms.
Honest sprinter Flamberge was no match for Chautauqua first up, and Barrier 12 could be the undoing here. He is the only runner after the previously mentioned horses that looks a serious chance, but with the barrier he is hard to take at $10.
Griante, Brook Road, Headwater and Rain Affair are the horses to watch in the rest of the field.
