Moruya tips and results

Our price $7.50 · SP $5.00 · Adrian Layt

Isotropic brings the right wet profile and the right position. She has one second and two thirds from five starts on soft, including a close third at Queanbeyan when she sat handy, and she maps to settle about third from barrier 6. That is the part of the track that wins early maidens here. The doubt is freshness: she was only seventh at Wagga three days ago, and both rider and trainer are cold.

Our price $11.50 · SP $21.00 · Louise Day

Harlem Tickle is the overlay, not a horse to trust blindly. She has no wins and only one third from 12 starts, and she is yet to place from five runs on soft. Horses that settle forward win these early Moruya maidens, and her latest fourth, beaten just over a length, shows she can be in the finish when the race is run to suit. A small each-way stake only.

Our price $5.50 · SP $10.00 · Brodie Loy

Noteabeel has done all his racing on wet ground and his latest Gundagai run, sixth on soft in a Class 1, was better than the margin. He draws barrier 3, Brodie Loy goes on, and a moderate pace lets a horse from just off the speed into the race.

Our price $18.00 · SP $31.00 · Shaun Guymer

Sesto is a speculative map play, not a form horse. He is the natural leader, the weight is light, and Moruya's 1010m races on a Friday punish horses that give away a start. The form is thin: a long break, a habit of stopping, and no soft-track win. A small each-way stake is the right size.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.00 · Jean Van Overmeire

Gunroom has the run of the race. He is the quickest to begin, draws barrier 4 and should lead or box-seat in a moderate tempo, with 55kg and Jean Van Overmeire for a stable that wins often at Moruya. Rain suits him, with two wins and two seconds from six starts on soft or heavy. The rise from provincial grade is steep and his last two starts were plain, including a beaten on-pace effort at Randwick, so he is an each-way chance in a race that favours the leaders.

Our price $8.00 · SP $12.00 · Nick Heywood

Fangela is the overlay. Five wins from twenty on soft and six wins from nineteen at the distance are the best wet-track and trip credentials in the race, and barrier 3 lets him sit midfield just off a moderate speed. He has already won at Moruya, and Heywood with Dryden and Snowden is a strong combination.

Our price $6.00 · SP $21.00 · Damon Budler

Her Corowa third, beaten a nose, is the sharpest recent performance in the field, and she had already run on honestly in the wet at Narromine when things went wrong. She drops out of a maiden plate into this race with 56kg, barrier 3 and a rider who knows Moruya. If she settles in the first half she is the danger to the leader. If she repeats a deep settle she gives away the bias, which is why she is second rather than first.

Our price $8.50 · SP $9.00 · Coriah Keatings

De Razilly is the wet-track hope with a map. Both her starts were on rain-affected ground and she was desperately unlucky not to win a similar maiden over this trip at Sapphire Coast. Barrier 2 should let her camp just behind Czech Me in a moderate tempo. The catch is freshness: that form is old, and her only public work since was an ordinary Goulburn trial.

Our price $26.00 · SP $31.00 · Poppie Gorton

She has no raceday form, which is not held against her, and the public evidence is a nose second in a Moruya trial on soft ground with today's apprentice. That is a closer match to a Soft 6 1010m than the other first-starters offer, and 52.5kg is a gift if she handles the rise to race speed. The stable is out of form, so this is a small each-way only, not a top-three selection.

Our price $9.50 · SP $10.00 · Dale Cole

Two wins and a second from five at Moruya, including a win from three at this trip, and he maps on the pace with only 53kg. Soft form places half the time. The rise from BM66 is the catch: recent Nowra runs were competitive without looking up to this class, and he weakened badly in heavy going here in August.

Our price $4.60 · SP $3.30 · Deon Le Roux

Dumebi is the form pick in a race that should favour horses who can sit handy. He won at Moruya on a Soft 7 sixteen days ago and already has a win at this track and trip. Second-up he has a 5:1-1-2 record, the stable wins often here, and early speed should put him in the first few on a Friday card where on-pacers hold an edge.

Our price $8.50 · SP $31.00 · Jess Taylor

Lady Yarrow brings the best supporting form line in the race. She maps to settle just behind the speed, which is the right part of a Moruya sprint, and she places in half her starts with two soft-track wins.

Our price $12.00 · SP $21.00 · Shaun Guymer

He has already won an Open handicap on soft and was a close second in another open race on a Soft 7 in July, plus he has won at Moruya.

Our price $5.00 · SP $16.00 · Jade McKenzie

Millie's Memory is the clearest winning chance in a Moruya maiden sprint. She already has two seconds and a third from four starts here, acts on soft and heavy, and has the speed to sit forward, which is how these Friday maidens are usually won. Last start she led and missed by a nose.

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.50 · Blaike McDougall

Silverwater Kid fits the Friday pattern: he races on the speed and is improving. The neck third at Illawarra, after leading, was up to the standard of this maiden, and he already has a second on soft ground. Barrier 6 gives McDougall a clean shot at the fence. The query is the other leader.

Our price $12.50 · SP $17.00 · Louise Day

Her only race start was a five-length ninth at Goulburn, but she covered extra ground three-wide and the performance was better than the margin. She has since trialled a close second at Nowra and earlier won a soft-track trial. Day knows this circuit and the filly has the speed to sit around midfield rather than last from barrier 12.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.00 · Glenn Cahill

Showtime Maggie is the closer this speed map is built for. She won at Canberra over 1200m after giving them a big start, and she has already run second in this grade at Moruya on heavy ground when she was held up. A rise from a weaker race and a pattern of missing the start are real risks on a track that favours horses nearer the speed.

Our price $11.00 · SP $21.00 · Rebecca Bronett Prag

Bedda Mia gets the map many of the fancied runners do not. Barrier 4 lets her land midfield in a race with three horses intent on leading, and she won on heavy ground over a similar trip only two starts ago. The distance record is sound. The last start, when she missed the kick and finished ninth in a Class 2, is the worry, and her rider has been quiet.
