Moruya tips and results

Our price $6.50 · SP $5.00 · Pierre Boudvillain

From the inside gate she can sit closer and save ground in a race that should be run at a moderate tempo. The rise to 1425m is likely to suit her profile.

Our price $7.50 · SP $6.50 · Damon Budler

C'mon Wicksy is the value runner: he has already placed over this Moruya 1425m trip on a rain-affected surface and is reunited with Damon Budler, who combines well with Rob Potter at a 30% strike rate. From barrier 3 he should get the cushy run mapped to the first half.

Our price $12.00 · SP $9.00 · Jade Mc Kenzie

Thegirlfromprague is a risk/reward third pick. Her best run came first-up over 1100m at Goulburn, and she returns to a suitable sprint trip with an inside barrier and light weight. The 12th at Wagga came over an unsuitable 1400m on Soft 6, so it can be excused. Matthew Dale’s runners are generally fit enough fresh, and from barrier 3 she can hold a prominent position in a race lacking genuine speed.

Our price $14.00 · SP $9.50 · Quayde Krogh

He ran a game second at Forbes last start and had previously placed on Soft 5 and Heavy 10, giving him the wet-track credentials many rivals lack.

Our price $8.00 · SP $5.50 · Coriah Keatings

Faerywood is the value runner. He placed at 1010m on Soft 7 at his latest start, has a 2:1-1-0 soft-track record, and draws the inside barrier that suits Moruya's momentum profile. Keatings is riding winners.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.40 · Brodie Loy

Slater's Boy was building a solid maiden profile with a second and third at Goulburn before a long break. He has placed first-up before and draws favourably in barrier 5, which suits Moruya's on-pace bias. The main negatives are the 10-month layoff and top weight of 60kg, so he rates second behind the more race-fit Remy's Bro.

Our price $8.50 · SP $9.50 · Pierre Boudvillain

This Ain't Texas has been around the mark in rain-affected maidens, highlighted by a close second at Moruya on Soft two starts ago. She is proven on the ground, has a workable draw, and gets weight relief. Her lack of a win and modest 1200m record are concerns, but in this low-confidence maiden she is the clear third pick.

Our price $15.00 · SP $26.00 · Quayde Krogh

Overshoot made an encouraging debut when third over 1210m on Soft7 at Sapphire Coast, exactly the distance and ground she faces here.

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.00 · Quayde Krogh

The drop to country Class 1 is significant and her on-pace style fits the Moruya Soft pattern. The wide gate is a query, but she has enough speed to hold a forward spot and is the most likely winner.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.00 · Erin Ellison

Star Turn Dancer has the perfect track-and-distance profile, having won over this Moruya 1650m trip. She returned from a spell earlier in the campaign and finished a close second in a CL1 on Soft7. With the 4kg claim she drops to 53kg, and barrier 2 gives her every chance to settle in the first six. If she reproduces that last-start effort she is a serious winning chance.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.80 · Dale Cole

Brannum is the most logical winner based on a clear class drop and proven form over this exact course and distance, having won at Moruya 1650m on Soft5 in June. He then ran a solid 4th in BM66 grade at Nowra on Soft7. The 59.5kg weight is a query, but his tactical speed and strong Moruya record suit the on-pace bias expected here.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.80 · Brodie Loy

Exceed Success is a proven Moruya 1650m performer who has repeatedly raced well in this grade at the track. He finished 4th behind Brannum in June and then posted another 4th at Moruya on Soft5 in July. The 37-day break and addition of a nose roll suggest the stable is trying to extract more, and with barrier 6 he maps perfectly in the first six. He is the clear second pick.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.00 · Robyn Freeman

She is on the upgrade and maps well from barrier 4, but must prove herself over 1650m after a poor Moruya outing in June.

Our price $4.80 · SP $3.40 · Jean Van Overmeire

However, his record shows just one career win and he tends to find one too good. He meets Glenn's Legacy worse at the weights today than he did at Goulburn, which tempers confidence.

Our price $16.00 · SP $7.00 · Brodie Loy

Sacred Mistress is a 7-year-old mare who has been racing in deeper metropolitan company, including a second in a Randwick Class 3 and a fourth in a Canterbury BM64. She returns to a suitable BM66 at a provincial track where she has placed before. Her soft-ground record is solid and the stable has a strong book.

Our price $7.00 · SP $4.20 · Jon Grisedale

Winter Storm has the precise wet-track/on-pace profile that Moruya Soft rewards. He has shown ability on both Soft and Heavy at 1200m, draws to be prominent and should improve through the bend. The class rise and lack of local experience are genuine concerns, but in this low-grade BM58 his tactical advantages give him a strong winning chance.
