What | Moonee Valley Races |
Where | Moonee Valley Racecourse – Gate 2 Feehan Ave, Moonee Ponds VIC 3039 |
When | Friday, February 12, 2025 |
First Race | 6:15pm AEDT |
Friday night racing returns to Moonee Valley for another week, with a competitive eight-race meeting set down for decision. Clear skies are forecast for the evening, and despite the Soft 5 track rating at the time of acceptances, warm days leading into the meeting will mean it will be a perfect Good 4 come the opening event. The Moonee Valley races on February 14 are set to commence at 6:15pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Moonee Valley: Big Me
The Nick Ryan-trained Big Me has been racing well without much luck this preparation. He was a smart winner at Bendigo when resuming from a spell on December 3, but since then he has found trouble at inopportune times in each of his last three runs. The small field of seven looks set to suit the six-year-old gelding perfectly, and from barrier five, Ethan Brown will have no issue keeping him one off the rail throughout.
Best Bet
Race 4 – #2 Big Me (5)
6yo Gelding | T: Nick Ryan | J: Ethan Brown (60.5kg)
Next Best at Moonee Valley: Dreamzel
Dreamzel was a dominant all-the-way winner at the Moonee Valley 1000m on January 31, and the return to the track and trip could well be a recipe for success. Jordyn Weatherley sticks on board, and his 3kg claim gets the Deep Field mare in perfectly with 59.5kg on her back. Without much speed drawn underneath the pair from barrier four, Weatherley will have no issue finding the rail and dictating proceedings once again.
Next Best
Race 5 – #1 Dreamzel (4)
4yo Mare | T: Tom Dabernig | J: Jordyn Weatherley (a3) (62.5kg)
Best Value at Moonee Valley: Ferago
Ferago is clearly the best horse in the opener on Friday night. The eight-year-old gelding is a much better stayer on rain-affected ground, but in a race that lacks much depth to it, the son of Fiorente looks poised to overcome a poor record on Good tracks (14: 1-1-2). Jordyn Weatherley takes 3kg off the stayer’s back, and considering the pair will likely be midfield with cover, Ferago can run over them and salute at a double-figure quote with Neds.
Best Value
Race 1 – #1 Ferago (5)
8yo Gelding | T: Patrick Ryan (Jnr) | J: Jordyn Weatherley (a3) (64.5kg)
