Moonee Valley horse betting preview – Friday, February 5, 2021

Moonee Valley will host an eight-race card on Friday as the night racing continues in Victoria. With torrential rain forecasted in Melbourne for race day, it is hard to imagine the Good 4 track rating staying for the duration of the card. With the rail out 7m for the entire circuit, it will certainly be no disadvantage to be up on speed through the night. The first at The Valley is set to jump at 6:30pm AEDT.


Best Bet: Ice Ice Baby

The Wendy Kelly-trained Ice Ice Baby looks the best bet on the Moonee Valley card on Friday night. He was well beaten in the Group 3 Red Anchor Stakes at Caulfield on October 24 before heading for a spell, but he drops significantly in grade for this first-up assignment. Prior to his effort in the Red Anchor he was a gritty winner over the 1200m at The Valley when in the cheap seats throughout, settling no better than three wide without cover up on speed. From barrier six Jamie Kah should be able to set him just off the red-hot speed, and Ice Ice Baby should prove too classy over the concluding stages to get his autumn preparation away to a winning start.

Next Best: Mahashakti

Mitchell Freedman saddles up his four-year-old mare Mahashakti, who is looking for a hat-trick of wins. Her last two runs at Geelong were all but action replays of one another, as in both she settled just off the leader’s heels and took over inside the final furlong to go on and win comfortably. She got the job done with 62kg on her back on January 24, and the 4kg drop in weights here makes her hard to ignore, especially with Ethan Brown retaining the ride. From barrier nine she may have to settle a little further back than previously, but the four-year-old should have what it takes to get the job done in the final leg of the quaddie.

Best Value: Florida Dream

Florida Dream wasn’t beaten all that far at big odds at Flemington back on January 1 and looks to be a nice bet here early on The Valley’s eight-race card. In that run he made up plenty of ground throughout the home straight despite never really looking like a winning chance, and a two-length defeat to Fundraiser is good enough form to be more than competitive here in a BM64. Track conditions will be key to the gelding’s chances, so watch the first couple of races before you jump on. If the course plays fairly, look for him to swoop late down the outside.
