Racing returns to Moonee Valley on Friday night with an eight-part card, and HorseBetting’s Victorian form expert presents his best bets and quaddie selections for the evening. The track has come up a Good 4, the rail is out 3m for the entire circuit, and racing is set to start at 6:15pm AEDT.
Moonee Valley Best Bet – Joseylin
The Ben & JD Hayes-trained Joseylin is coming off a narrow win at Flemington on January 14, and we think she can go on with the job at The Valley. With two wins and two runner-up efforts in her past four runs, she is in some serious form, and the three-year-old Pride of Dubai filly looks well-placed by the stable once again. With Josh Richards sticking on board and claiming 2kg, she is set to go around with 57.5kg on her back, a 2.5kg rise on her last-start win. Her racing pattern is hard to knock, especially at The Valley considering she wants to be close to the speed throughout. She will need a touch of luck to not get trapped wide without cover from barrier six, but if she is afforded that, she is more than good enough to take out a race like this.
Next Best Bet at Moonee Valley – Teofilo Star
Coming off a maiden win at Geelong on January 23, the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Teofilo Star looks to be a great bet in the second leg of the quaddie. Having led the field up on that day, the four-year-old son of Teofilo managed to offer a kick on the home turn and ultimately proved too hard to run down. From barrier 10 and with Craig Newitt retaining the ride, it looks set to be a carbon copy of that run when he steps up to the 2500m on Friday night. He looks set to gain an uncontested lead and fresh off a 3.25 length win, he is racing in fine form and looks one of the best bets on the card. We are more than happy to take the $4 on offer with online bookmakers.
Moonee Valley Value Bet – Her Empire
Despite Elite Icon looking like a smart type in the opening event, we are happy to side with the Mark & Levi Kavanagh-trained Her Empire at a price. Just three runs back, the three-year-old filly out of Deep Field went within 2.5 lengths of taking out the Group 3 Scarborough Stakes, she has been short on luck since. She draws barrier three on Friday night and will gain the services of Brett Prebble for the first time. She will need a touch of luck when cornering, but her turn of foot is good enough to win this.
