Quick Analysis:

According to the odds, there are plenty of live chances in this one today at Moree, but I only have eyes for Moon Zone. The mare’s form coming into this race has been excellent, and she’s shooting for a hat-trick of wins after taking races at Cowra and Dubbo. Last time out was in a BM58, and this one doesn’t look materially harder. She presents decent value at around the $5.50 mark.

Quick Analysis:

Heading over to Ballarat Synthetic track for my next best bet with Bliss Bomb. The mare kicked off her prep with a second placing at this track, and while she didn’t fire last time out, she’s back at a track she likes and just needs even luck on her side. Jockey Harry Coffey sticks, and they draw a lot better than the last couple of times. This looks like an easier assignment on paper as well.

Quick Analysis:

Wrapping things up today, I think Better Late can get the chocolates in Gosford. He tackles this one first-up after back-to-back trial wins, and the 4YO has a perfect 2:2-0-0 record when first-up. Ashley Morgan, who was on board for the most recent trial win, gets the nod and saddles up for this one. They draw well (barrier three), and the weight isn’t the worst.

Stats and Insights

  • Marcos broke through in style at Belmont first-up and looks well placed dropping back to non-metro company. He can go on with the job in Race 6 at Northam.
  • Holy Holy Holy resumes after a short break and is capable of improving on her latest Longreach effort. She can make a bold return in Race 7 at Mount Isa.
  • Eternal Romance backs up quickly after a strong effort at Bunbury and looks well placed here. She’s ready to break through for her third career win in Race 8 at Northam.
