Moree tips and results

Our price $4.60 · SP $4.20 · Ashley Butler

The most reliable on-pace type in a race lacking a strong leader. She has shown speed and a gritty attitude, is fitter second-up, and handles soft ground. The wide gate is a worry but she should find a handy spot.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Jacob Stiff

Her last start on soft ground at Tamworth was a very good run for a maiden, only just failing after leading. Barrier four helps and she can be ridden handier than the map suggests.

Our price $11.00 · SP $10.00 · Gabrielle Johnston

The map points to a lone leader in a moderate-tempo sprint, and she is the one most likely to cross.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.80 · Hannah Richardson

A consistent type who has been running solidly in city grade and should find this easier. He rarely wins, though, and being short of early speed in a slow tempo is a handicap.

Our price $5.50 · SP $12.00 · Ashley Butler

Her Armidale win was the standout run in this field and she has a Moree win to her name. Stable and jockey are in good touch here.

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.00 · Kody Nestor

Produced a clear step forward at Tamworth last time when he dashed to the front 200m out on a soft track and was only collared late. The rise to 1200m looks ideal and from gate four he can track the speed without doing the work. Eight starts without a win is the knock, but he is improving at the right time and this is not a strong maiden.

Our price $10.00 · SP $17.00 · Anna Weatherlake

Gets in with just 53kg after the claim, which is a significant edge in a race where the topweights have had plenty of chances. Her second on a heavy track two starts back showed she handles the wet, and last start she was only beaten a little over a length after doing the early work.

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.10 · Izzy Neale

He steps up to 1400m today, which should suit on pedigree, and comes from a stable with a strong record. The soft track is an unknown, but his class and connections make him the one to beat.

Our price $7.00 · SP $4.60 · Zac Wadick

Dekka's Latest continued his improvement with a solid third at Muswellbrook last time, leading and fighting on. He is second-up today and should be fitter, and the step to 1400m looks suitable. The concern is that he was headed after leading, but if he settles midfield he can be effective.

Our price $34.00 · SP $41.00 · Jake Pracey-Holmes

Cool Thoughts is a mare with limited winning form, but her last start was a much-improved third on soft ground over 1400m, finishing close to the winner.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.00 · Juliet Partridge

A proven wet-track performer who won at Bm66 on Soft 6 and ran well at this grade last start.

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.30 · Ashley Butler

He can run a place but is poor value to win.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.00 · Mikayla Weir

He ran a solid third at this grade on soft last start and won a C1 Plate before that. He should settle just off the speed with cover, and a drying track suits.

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.50 · Juliet Partridge

He's My Warrior is a reliable sort who is dropping in class and has strong form at 1200m. He was narrowly beaten at this grade at Mendooran and ran a brave third last start. The softer track is a concern as he has not won in the wet, but he has been placed often and should be in the finish.

Our price $6.50 · SP $8.50 · Ashley Butler

Winged looks overpriced for a runner with a Moree win to his name and a stable that is in sparkling form. He steps up in class but the jockey and trainer combination at the track is strong.

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.00 · Juliet Partridge

The class runner of the field at this level. His second over this trip at Moree in the autumn was the best run any of these has produced in a Class 1, and he did it with more weight than he carries today. He has never missed a place in four soft-track starts and lands in the box seat behind a moderate tempo.

Our price $12.00 · SP $21.00 · Jordie Thompson

The value runner. He gets in with the lightest weight in the race, his only win came over this trip when he sustained a long run, and he was brave last start on heavy ground after knuckling at the start.

Our price $3.80 · SP $7.00 · Jake Pracey-Holmes

Denman Bandit is the best form chance on the way he races. He is an on-pace sprinter with a 2-win record from 6 at the trip. He has run well on soft ground, including a near win under top weight. He should get a handy trip in a moderate-tempo race.

Our price $8.00 · SP $13.00 · Kody Nestor

Soobooco is a consistent class horse who has won at this level recently and has strong wet-track form. Top weight and a wide gate are real drawbacks, but his consistency makes him a sound each-way chance in a race with no outstanding runner.
