Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 14 Journalists Share Posted February 14 What Moonee Valley Races Where Moonee Valley Racecourse – 1 McPherson St, Moonee Ponds VIC 3039 When Friday, February 16, 2024 First Race 6:15pm AEDT Visit Dabble This Friday evening promises an exciting eight-race program at Moonee Valley. The weather forecast predicts a perfect summer day with no rain, ensuring that the track maintains its Good 4 range throughout the meeting. The rail is set to be pushed out 6m for the entire circuit, and the first race is scheduled to kick off at 6:15pm AEDT. Best Bet at Moonee Valley: Fury Having returned with an eye-catching third at Sandown, the Hawkes team looks to have Fury perfectly placed to break his maiden at start four. The three-year-old colt simply got too far out of his ground first-up, but he was hitting the line nicely to suggest he was worth following wherever he went next. Barrier 11 is offset by his desire to get back in the field upon settling. Armed with a strong finishing burst, on the back of a genuine tempo out in front, Fury should have no trouble finishing over the top of his rivals. Best Bet Race 3 – #4 Fury (11) 3yo Colt | T: Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes | J: Jordan Childs (59kg) +380 with Picklebet Next Best at Moonee Valley: Dubai Moon Dubai Moon has rapidly elevated himself into ‘cult hero’ status, and that party is set to continue at Moonee Valley on Friday night. The Frankie Stockdale-trained stayer has put together four straight wins, all of those coming in the space of 13 days. Collectively, he has won by 14.8 lengths, and he should get his own way out in front over the 2500m. Jake Molloy comes down from Queensland for the ride, and with his 3kg claim, Dubai Moon gets in perfectly at the weights with just 59.5kg on his back and will prove too hard to run down. Next Best Race 6 – #1 Dubai Moon (9) 6yo Gelding | T: Frankie Stockdale | J: Jake Molloy (a3) (62.5kg) +320 with Dabble Best Value at Moonee Valley: Samuel Langhorne Mick Kent’s Samuel Langhorne was desperately unlucky when resuming at Sandown on January 24, beaten by 1.1 lengths back in third. The four-year-old gelding was held up for a run at a crucial point when going through his gears but was hitting the line with strong intent. That was over 1600m, so the step up to the 2040m looks ideal, and he is the runner with the most upside in this BM64 affair. Ethan Brown will hold a mid-field spot from barrier seven, and with clean air upon straightening, Samuel Langhorne looks too hard to hold out. Best Value Race 6 – #7 Samuel Langhorne (7) 4yo Gelding | T: Mick Kent | J: Ethan Brown (59kg) +600 with Neds Friday quaddie tips for Moonee Valley races Moonee Valley quadrella selections Friday, February 16, 2024 1-3 2-3-4-7 2-3-5-9 6-7-9-11 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
