Angel Ladder offers strong value with her excellent soft track credentials and perfect second up record. Recent form is solid with a close second last start, and the weight drop to 56kg suits. The class rise is concerning but her track condition suitability provides confidence.
Petit Artiste brings valuable Moonee Valley experience with a recent second at the track. The inside barrier should help secure a forward position on this leader-biased track.
Audio Pop Cam represents pure value as an unbeaten maiden winner stepping up dramatically in class. While the rise is significant, her perfect record and light weight create an overlay opportunity. The synthetic track win suggests ability, making her worth a speculative investment.

Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting (Bm84)
Shoeless presents as the standout selection with a perfect record at Moonee Valley (1 win from 1 start at track and distance). His recent form is exceptional, winning last start at this track in similar conditions. The gelding has proven soft track ability and tactical speed to overcome the wide barrier. While facing a class rise, his upward trajectory and track specialization make him the top winning chance.
Reset The Jazz brings strong credentials with excellent distance form (5 wins from 10 starts at 1600m) and a solid second placing at Moonee Valley. His recent form is consistent with a last-start second at this track. The favorable barrier 4 allows tactical positioning, and his proven soft track ability (1 win from 3 starts) suits today's conditions. Strong winning chance despite class rise.
Dragoon offers strong credentials with a perfect record at Moonee Valley (1 win from 1 start at 1600m) and excellent distance form overall (2 wins from 4 starts). His recent first-up win shows he's in good order, though second-up statistics are modest (0 wins from 2 starts). The lightweight 54kg and proven track form provide strong positives, but the class rise and limited soft track exposure create some concerns.
Rolling Magic presents excellent value with a perfect 1600m record (2 wins from 2 starts) and strong recent form including a last-start third. The lightweight 55kg and quality jockey booking enhance prospects. However, no Moonee Valley experience and poor soft track form (0 wins from 2 starts) create concerns.

Paramount Liquor Carlyon Stakes
Oak Hill is the standout selection with exceptional Moonee Valley credentials. His 4 wins from 5 starts at the track and 3 wins from 4 at this distance make him perfectly suited. Coming off a dominant first-up win, his second-up record of 2 wins from 3 starts is excellent. The soft track conditions suit, and barrier 4 allows tactical positioning.
Mornington Glory brings elite credentials with Group 1 success at this exact track and distance. His Moonee Valley record of 4 wins from 7 starts and perfect 1000m record of 5 wins from 6 starts are outstanding.
Baraqiel brings a perfect Moonee Valley record and excellent first-up credentials. His 100% strike rate at the track and Group 2 win last start demonstrate his class. The concern is the untested 1000m distance and significant class rise, but his track specialization and first-up ability make him a strong contender.
New York Lustre offers excellent value with a perfect 1000m record and Moonee Valley win.

Ascend Sales Trophies Hcp
Hard To Cross presents as the standout value selection with his exceptional soft track record and significant weight advantage. His 4 wins from 10 soft track starts combined with the drop to 51kg makes him extremely competitive. Recent form is solid with a close 3rd at Flemington, and his track experience at Moonee Valley includes a win. The class rise is a concern but his ability and conditions favor strongly.
Globe brings the best overall strike rate in the field at 45% and is a proven soft track performer. His first up record is solid and the 140-day break should have him fresh. The barrier 6 draw allows tactical positioning which suits Moonee Valley's bias toward on-pace runners. Class and ability suggest he can handle the step up.
The blinkers back on should sharpen his focus, and his finishing ability suits the longer distance. However, his poor wet track record and inside barrier draw present challenges.
His previous 2nd placing at this track and distance shows he can handle the conditions, and his consistent recent form suggests he's racing well. The wide barrier is a concern but his finishing ability can overcome it.

Dr Sheahan Plate (Bm84)
Red Hot Nicc is the standout selection with an exceptional Moonee Valley record including three wins from four starts at this exact track and distance. His soft track form (3 wins from 6 starts) perfectly matches today's conditions, and he just won here 14 days ago. Despite carrying top weight, his track specialization and proven ability at the distance make him the clear choice.
De Bergerac brings strong form into this race with a last-start win and excellent soft track credentials (3 wins from 5 starts). The light weight and strong recent form provide confidence.
Stoli Bolli offers solid each-way value with proven Moonee Valley form and the benefit of a significant class drop. His second-up positioning and good barrier draw provide tactical advantages, though his soft track form is a concern. The light weight and track experience make him a viable place chance.
