top pick wonanother tip wonno tip won
First-up from a spell but has shown ability fresh previously. His last start 4th placing at Pakenham showed good closing speed and the inside draw should allow him to settle closer in a race with likely fast tempo. Daniel Stackhouse is a strong booking and the horse appears ready to break through.
His 5th placing last start at Mornington showed improvement and the Jason Warren/Jason Maskiell combination is strong. The wide barrier is a slight concern but with a fast tempo predicted, he should get his chance to finish strongly. Appears to be building toward a peak performance.
Igotmymindonyou brings recent racing experience having run 14 days ago. The barrier draw isn't ideal but he has experience at Moe which is a positive. Teodore Nugent is a capable jockey and the horse should be at peak fitness.
The wide barrier is a concern but with only 9 days since his last run, he should be at peak fitness.

Kippis brings the strongest recent form, having finished a close second at this track and distance just 28 days ago. Michael Dee is a significant jockey booking and despite the slightly awkward draw, she should get a good run with moderate-fast tempo predicted.
His first-up record shows a placing from one attempt, and Jake Noonan's booking is significant. The wide barrier is offset by his early speed, which should see him prominent in a race where leaders have a strong record.
In'kantosstar represents the powerful Ciaron Maher stable with Ben Allen aboard, suggesting connections expect a forward showing. The favorable barrier 5 should allow for a good position in running, likely midfield with options.
The filly is race-fit, has experience on soft tracks, and draws well in barrier 6. Koby Jennings takes the ride and should position her midfield where she can finish strongly.

Flat Chat brings the strongest form credentials with consistent performances including a third at this track and distance. Has shown ability fresh with a placing first-up previously. Drawn to get a good run in midfield and should be strong late with the expected fast tempo.
Too Much Too Soon brings strong form credentials dropping significantly in class after racing in Group 3 company. Has shown consistency with two seconds from four starts, all on soft tracks. The inside barrier draw is advantageous at Moe, and while first-up from a spell, the stable appears to have targeted this race. The expected fast tempo should suit her finishing style.
Taupe brings improving form with a close second last start at Kilmore over 1100m. The 21-day freshen up looks ideal, and she should be at peak fitness third-up. The Freedman stable and Daniel Stackhouse combination adds further confidence.
Has shown ability when fresh with a placing first-up previously, and has performed well on soft tracks with a second placing from three attempts.

Caelius brings the strongest form credentials with a close second at this track and distance last start. The Peter Gelagotis-trained colt has been knocking on the door with placings in 3 of 5 starts and gets the services of top jockey Jye McNeil. Clearly the one to beat.
French Gift showed promise on debut with a strong 2nd placing in heavy conditions. The Hayes-trained gelding has natural improvement to come second-up and is well-weighted with 58kg. The main danger to the top selection but needs to prove himself at the 1600m journey.
Dropping back in class after competing in stronger races and gets a good draw in barrier 4. Has shown ability with a 2nd placing from 5 starts and gets the services of experienced jockey Daniel Stackhouse. Can improve sharply.
The gear change to visors first time could spark improvement and his record of 3 seconds from 12 starts suggests he's due for a breakthrough win.

Tishman returns from a spell with a strong first-up record of 1 win and 1 third from 3 attempts. The gelding has been mostly racing in higher class and brings solid credentials with 2 wins and 4 placings from 9 starts. While unproven at both the track and distance, his class edge and ability to perform fresh make him a genuine contender despite carrying top weight of 58.5kg.
The mare will carry just 56kg which is advantageous, and her running style should suit the expected fast tempo. While the wide barrier (15) is a concern, her ability to run on strongly gives her claims in this field despite being unproven at both the track and distance. Charlotte Littlefield has her in good form.
Oak Beach brings strong credentials with a perfect 1 from 1 record at Moe and solid recent form, finishing 3rd last start in the same class. The mare is drawn perfectly in barrier 1 which should allow her to secure a good position in midfield. With proven ability at the distance and on good tracks, she's well-positioned to capitalize on the expected fast tempo. Dylan Dunn takes the ride which is a positive jockey booking.
While her win rate is modest at 6%, she has a strong place record with 6 seconds and 2 thirds from 17 starts. The mare is proven at the distance with 1 win from 4 attempts and gets in with just 54.5kg.

Calypso King brings solid recent form including a close 3rd last start at Warrnambool over 1700m. The moderate tempo should suit his racing pattern, and he appears well-placed to be finishing strongly. Barrier 9 gives options to settle midfield and build momentum.
Has proven stamina with a win over this distance at Wodonga. The good barrier draw (4) should allow her to settle in a favorable position.
Cudmore Street brings solid recent form including a 3rd last start in heavy conditions at Traralgon. The good barrier draw (3) should allow him to settle in a favorable position. Has a placing at this track and appears well-suited to the conditions despite stepping up in class.
Dancing Juice represents excellent value based on his narrow 2nd last start over a similar distance at Tatura. Barrier 6 gives options to settle in a favorable position.

Promising 3yo filly from the Hayes stable who won impressively on synthetic two starts back before a respectable 5th in Open company at Sandown. Returns from a spell with a significant class drop into BM56 grade. Her tactical speed should see her settle midfield from barrier 4, and with a strong 33% win strike rate, she represents the best winning chance despite being first-up.
Consistent performer who comes into this with solid recent form, finishing 3rd at Mornington just 9 days ago. His midfield position from barrier 6 should be ideal with the predicted fast tempo, allowing him to finish strongly. Race fitness is a significant advantage.
Second-up today where she has a win from three attempts, and drops slightly in class from her last start. Has won at this track previously, though not at this distance. The addition of winkers first time could sharpen her up, and despite the wide barrier, her strong finishing ability gives her place claims.
Improving mare who has hit her straps recently with a win and two seconds in her last three starts.

Has a perfect second-up record and thrives on soft tracks with 2 wins from 3 starts. Drawn ideally in barrier 3 to get a perfect run in transit and should handle the class rise based on her upward trajectory.
Consistent gelding with an excellent record at this distance (2-1-0 from 5 starts). Has been racing in stronger company and drops in class here. Barrier 9 is a slight concern but his tactical versatility should overcome this. Represents solid each-way value.
Lightly-raced gelding who won impressively on debut at Wodonga. From the powerful Hayes stable and well-bred being by Snitzel. Faces a significant class rise but has plenty of upside and is drawn perfectly in barrier 4. The stable clearly has a good opinion of him to place him in this race second-up.
Experienced mare with an excellent first-up record (2-1-0 from 6 starts) and strong credentials at this distance (3-4-1 from 15 starts).
