Moonga Stakes 2024 Preview

Track: Good 4 Weather: Showers

War Machine has an imposing career record. Should give this a shake mapping for a tow into the race from barrier 7. Gentleman Roy should be up on speed giving a bold sight. Well placed in this field and can roll forward from the draw. Pinstriped is the class of the race and will enjoy a good run in transit with Allen aboard. Ripcord is a place hope.

2024 Moonga Stakes Runner by Runner

1. Pinstriped (4)

Class of the field and he gets a good draw and map for this. Can stalk the speed and produce his customary finishing burst late. This race is within reach and he is good odds.

2. Gentleman Roy (12)

Can land on speed and hard to knock the form he is in. Suited very much over this trip and has huge claims if left alone up front.

3. The Pendragon (13)

Can’t have.

4. Buffalo River (17)

Prefer others.

5. Ain’tnodeeldun (14)

This looks too tough.

6. Phearson (5)

Goes well over this trip and fourth up. Needs to lift on form but can give this a shake with the right run.

7. Mighty Ulysses (2)

Can’t have.

8. Ripcord (3)

Sound effort in a strong race fresh. Good map for this and strips fitter second up.

9. Coastwatch (10)

Going well and is a previous winner on this track. Hot race but goes in the mix.

10. Air Assault (11)

Can’t have.

11. War Machine (7)

Winning machine who was narrowly denied fresh by a smart one. Brings in some handy form and is still untapped. Can give this a big shake.

12. Laws Of Indices (9)

Can’t have.

13. Aegon (16)

Quality sprinter who doesn’t win out of turn but does boast a big finale when on song. Wouldn’t shock.

14. Dashing (15)

Can’t have.

15. Zechariah (1)

Prefer others.

16. Cosmic Vega (6)

This looks too tough.

17. Globe (8)

Best efforts are good enough for this. Respect any market moves.
