Jim Moloney Stakes – 2022

Track: Soft Weather: Fine

A stacked race with plenty of chances. Russian Conquest is desperate for dry ground and looks well placed with Kah in the saddle. Waltz On By won with authority last run and we get a guide of the form earlier in the day. Revolutionary Miss has good form and can run well in this field. Desiah finds a rise in grade but comes out of a leading stable and can run well in this field. Solid tempo here.

1. Revolutionary Miss (15)

Banking on a dry track. Brings in some strong form but will need luck from the draw. Major player if the ground dries up.

2. Russian Conquest (14)

Looking for a dry track and is a good chance to get it here. Kah does the steering and every time markets open Russian Conquest is heavily backed. Ready to explode and hard to beat.

3. Clarity (13)

Ticking along well and gave a good sight last run in open company. No favours from barrier 13 and this race isn’t any easier but it should land on the speed and give a good sight.

4. Waltz On By (10)

Badly held up the run prior then came out and won with ease. We get a guide through the form earlier in the day through Bank Maur. If that horse wins the confidence will grow with Waltz On By. No favours from barrier 10 but this is a winnable race.

5. Portray (11)

Love the form around Troach and Lady Laguna which should give a nice form line on Friday night at the Valley. Portray will need luck from the draw but it has some good ratings and form. Likeable.

6. Berry Bubbly (18)

Can’t have.

7. Street Delight (20)

This looks too tough.

8. Typhoon Titmus (8)

Racing in good fashion and has a nice amount of upside. Oliver isn’t riding often these days so its hard to get a gauge on his form. Typhoon Titmus should land somewhere midfield and give a good kick.

9. She’s Pretty Rich (17)

Comes through the same race as a few of these. Was luckless in the run but where to from barrier 17? Can’t have from the draw.

10. Zoe’s Promise (4)

Can’t have.

11. Jenny Jerome (7)

Moderate last run and needs to lift from that effort. Keep an eye on the market and respect any moves.

12. Desiah (12)

Found Portray too good on debut then came out and broke maiden well. Much harder here but the level of progression is the key. Can win.

13. Hell Hath No Fury (5)

Prefer in something easier.

14. Anahita (9)

Won well but does see a rise in grade here. This race is wide open but its worth respecting any market moves.

15. Foxy Gold (3)

Can’t have.

16. Queen Of Nations (19)

This looks too tough.

17. Wango Award (1)

Others look better.

18. Foxy Cleopatra (16)

Still a maiden but you have to respect the stable of the stable here. No jockey booked and a wide draw, keep an eye on the market.

19. Rule Of Time (2)

Hit the line hard on debut. Harder here but maps for a kind run and Shin in the saddle is a solid booking.

20. Laisvas (6)

Can’t have.
