R4 n12 NAVYONTHEHIGHWAY Forward on map to lead 2d up off 21 days rises 4kg and out to 1350m (+240m). Resumed G3 Doomben off 98 days (52kg) drew outside and was wide no cover on a fast tempo but was still far too good late winning by 1.6L. Overall figures from race were solid and she still had the 8th fastest L200m of meeting despite working hard early. It was an excellent win. Unbeaten this track 2/2 and while 2nd up out to 1350m with the weight rise is not ideal she should get control of race on the map and will take a lot of running down. Good mare.

R2 n3 BOSUSTOW Maps forward and should end up in 1/1. 3rd up off 35 days rises 1kg back to 1200m (-200m). (Ran VG 4th in recent jump out) Last start Caulfield G4 sat 4th on an even tempo running 6th beaten 2.4L by Angel Capital (smart) when not in best ground. Overall figures from race were solid but his closing figures were only basic-he just does not run 1400-1600m. Resumed here 1200m and ran home strongly off a slow tempo for B Shinn and his recent jump out was excellent-he was climbing all over them late there under a tight hold.
R3 n7 CERTAIN RISE Positive early on map from wide draw (B Shinn). 3a race start off 16 days, drops 1kg and stays at 1200m. Last start Mornington G4 led and controlled on a very fast tempo and bolted in winning by 4L when smashed late in betting $1.60. Overall figures from race were best of meeting and she closed off powerfully off that tempo. She was beaten on debut by a Listed class winner. Looks a genuine talent- will get to lead or be OSL ( B Shinn) on map and will control race from there.
R4 n7 POLYMNIA Maps 3P back inside 4th up off 17 days rises 1.5kg out to 1600m (+200m). Last start Kenso G4 maiden she sat back 7th early on an even tempo and charged home late for 2nd beaten 0.3L when heavily backed late. Overall figures from race were fair but she finished off strongly with 7th fastest L200m of meeting. Out to 1600m suits off that effort and it was a strong class maiden and her run was excellent. Astute stable that target this meeting each year, she will need a good ride to get off the inside in the straight, but we can leave that to J Mac.
R10 n6 FIRESTORM Maps closer today off this draw. 4th up off 21 days rises 4.5kg out to 2040m (+440m). Last start Randwick was 1900m back to 1600m G4 drew wider went back 16th on a slow tempo (unsuited) fan 10th beaten 4.3L by Ceolwulf in Group 1 Hcp (VG since). Overall figures from race were solid off that tempo and she closed off strongly. Start prior was excellent off a very fast tempo beating Unusual Legacy 1900m Rosehill on S6 track. Classy mare first run at Moonee Valley, but D Lane a key jockey change and she is so well suited today at 2040m off a good map.

R5 n2 JUST PARTY Maps 3P back inside. 4th up off 14 days and looks suited back out to 1600m (+200m).
Last start Randwick G4 with blinkers on drew soft went back gth on a fast tempo and charged home late narrowly beaten by Anode. He was held up inside with no clear air but sprinted hard when clear. Overall figures from race were strong and he had dominant close off that tempo. The blinkers looked to switch him right on last start and suited at 1600m and hoping for a cleaner start today.
R8 n1 ZOUGOTCHA Maps forward 3P back outside. 3ª up off 35 days rises 2.5kg and back to 1400m (-200m). Last start Randwick G4 drew soft went to 3rd on a slow tempo and was plain late running last beaten 4.6L by Fangirl. That run was right out of character for her- she is normally a very reliable Group 1 class mare and significantly gets a tongue tie on today. Quality mare at her best well weighted this scale in target race by leading stable.
R10 n5 KINTYRE Leads and controls on map. 4th up off 21 days rises 6kg and stays at 1600m. Last start Randwick G4 went forward on a slow tempo (suited) ran 9th beaten 4.2L by Ceolwulf in Group 1 Hcp (VG since). Overall figures from race were solid off that tempo but his closing figures were poor. Both prior runs this prep and at this track were VG and 4th up with regular jockey back aboard suits. Leads/controls on map and clear top pick.

R6 n4 SECRET ATTRACTION 5th up and flying this prep for new stable. She has not been let go late at her last two starts despite winning impressively. So well suited out to 1800m today, she settles mid field on map and Pike will let her rip in the straight. Keen she wins again today.
R8 n5 WEST STAR 2nd up, was outstanding resuming when drew wide and went back to last on a slow tempo before closing off in elite figures at 1000m beaten narrowly. Out to 1200m today off that and from an inside draw is perfect, he looks a genuine talent.

R2 n5 TEN TRINITY SQUARE Is a highly promising horse who won with authority on debut at this track earlier in the year and looks to have comeback even better judging by his impressive recent jump outs. Maps well and gets in with a light weight, confident he wins.
R3 n2 BEEBEE DAZZLER Has been luckless of late in much stronger races and comes back to his home track where he has a great record. Will sit just behind the speed and be too strong late for these.
