Our Moonee Valley Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
How Womantic (Moonee Valley Race 1 No. 3)
This four-year-old mare has won 4 of her 5 starts. She settled 3rd holding the rails under the leaders then chased hard to edge clear inside the last 50m and win by 0.3 lengths in the Group 3 Kevin Hayes Stakes over 1200m at Caulfield on 8 February to gain her fourth consecutive win. The next start she chased steadily for 4.3 lengths 8th in the Group 2 Kewney Stakes over 1400m at Flemington. She resumes from a 26 week spell and should be able to get back in the winners stall.

Bella Vella (Moonee Valley Race 6 No. 5):
This six-year-old Commands mare has a fantastic record at this track and distance. She won the Listed Hills Railway Stakes by 1.7 lengths over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 11 April, then won the Group 1 TAB Classic by 0.2 lengths over 1200m at Morphettville on 2 May before an 18 week spell. Resuming here she has won a recent trial and looks a solid each-way proposition.

Hit The Shot (Moonee Valley Race 3 No. 11):
This Dundeel colt is the early favourite in this three-year-old handicap over 1500m. He has had one start for a 0.2 length win over 1400m on the Ballarat Synthetic on 11 August. There are seven other last-start winners in the race and many have chances to win so he does not look like value.

Key Comments There are 9 races including the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (race 8). The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Angel Capital (Doomben Race 6 No. 5) Debuted for a 2.3 length win at Cranbourne where he came from last and wound up from the top of the straight to flash home down the outside. Jamie Kah sticks and he looks a lovely colt. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The main feature is the Group 3 $200,000 Belmont Sprint (race 8). The track is Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Generosity (Belmont Race 5 No. 2) She has had 2 placings this campaign where she’s made a big run from well back in the field. The extra distance will suit and she has won at Belmont before . Top pick. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way

Key Comments 2nd day of the Scone Carnival. Plenty of features including the Woodlands Stakes (race 3), Denise Joy Stakes (race 6), Ortensia Stakes (race 7), the Dark Jewel Classic (race 8) and Luskin Star Stakes (race 9). Best Bet Jedibeel (Scone Race 10 No. 8) Lovely return effort when being backed off the map and showed off a fine turn of foot. Can go right on with things here and should get a nice tow into it from barrier 7. Hard to

Key Comments There are 9 races on the Parks circuit. The track is rated good and the rail is +3 metres from the 1000m -to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet Easy Campese (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4) Easy Campese has been runner-up at his last 3 races and is ready to win. With the 2kg claim for Alana Livesay he will only carry 52.5 kg down from 59kg last start and hopefully that will make all the difference.
