Alfa Oro (Moonee Valley Race 3 No. 4)
This five-year-old gelding has never been out of the quinella with five wins and two 2nds from seven starts. He took over at the 400m and kept finding when challenged over the last 100m to win by 0.1 length over 1100m at Flemington on a heavy track on 23 May, then he charged clear at the 200m and won by 2.25 lengths over 100m at Caulfiels on 27 June. He has had a 12 week let-up and is a major contender.

Mantastic (Moonee Valley Race 6 No. 8):
This seven-year-old Fastnet Rock gelding has improved at each of his three runs this time in and might be ready to show his best. He chased steadily out wide for 4.35 lengths 11th in the Listed Heatherlie Handicap over 1700m at Caulfield on 29 August, then worked home strong along the rails for 1.7 lengths 6th over 1700m at Flemington on 12 September. He drops in weight and is worth an each-way bet.

Fabergino (Moonee Valley Race 7 No. 9):
This grey mare from Western Australia is the early favourite in the Group 1 Moir Stakes over 1000m. She has a superb race record of nine wins and two places from 12 starts and has raced in Melbourne once before. She sped to the front and won by 1.25 lengths in the Listed Bob Hoysted Handicap on 29 February, then returned to WA for a 2.78 length win in the Group 3 Northam Stakes over 1100m at Ascot on 2 May. She has won all seven of her first-up starts but she has never raced at Group 1 level before and in this field of top sprinters I think she is vulnerable.

Key Comments Expecting on pace to be suited as that has how the track has been playing recently and that works in favour of the best and each way bet who will both be up on speed and hard to catch. Best Bet French Endeavour (Warwick Farm Race 5 No. 4) Comes into this off the back of heavily claims after scoring for us last run when settling up on speed and careering away for a cruisy win.

Key Comments There’s a 7 race meeting. The track is rated soft and the rail is +10 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Starsonus (Eagle Farm Race 2 No. 8) He ran home for 3rd over 1200m here last start, which was only his 2nd race start, with the best final 600m. Should be fitter now and hard to beat.

William Pike sticks and she looks capable of back-to-back wins. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
