Our Moonee Valley Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The main race is the $5 million Cox Plate. Read our 2020 Cox Plate Preview.
Young Werther (Moonee Valley Race 6 No. 6)
This Tavistock gelding trained by Danny O’Brien has only had two starts but looks to be well above average. He debuted with a 1.25 length win over 1500m in a 3YO maiden plate at Geelong on 6 September, then went straight to a Listed race. He was held up from the 500-400m and hung in before balancing up to run on strongly and just miss for 0.2 length 2nd in the Super Impose Stakes over 1800m at Flemington on 3 October. He gets the winkers on for the first time and this distance should suit.

Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 21st April 2024
Key Comments The track is Soft and the rail is +1 metre the entire circuit. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with a slight advantage to those who land forward of midfield and can find a cart into the race from the wider lanes in the straight.
