The Brazilian is arguably the best jockey in the world and at the height of his game, becoming a key attraction to a big race day at Flemington.
How does his day look?
In race one, Moreira takes the David Hayes and Tom Dabernig-trained Cannyescent, which is coming off a solid win at Ballarat and keen to prove its group potential as the +230 favourite.
In race two, he takes the+210 hope Hursley. The four-year-old Chris Waller-trained gelding has received strong support from punters all week.
In race six, the Magic Man will be on Circular – yet another favourite at+450, but in a wide-open 16-horse field.
In the Newmarket Handicap, Moreira was given the ride on the favourite, Flying Artie, but after its scratching mid-week with mucus issues, he has picked up the ride on second-favourite Extreme Choice at+400.
