Saturday Horse Racing Tips – Moonee Valley 23/08/2025

Matt here from ABS. I've got some Horse racing tips to enjoy for Saturday's racing at Moonee Valley. I like the form coming into this raceday for Dragoon at Moonee Valley in Race 6. Also, for my cheeky value play, I've got my eye locked on Red Hot Nicc in Race 9 at Moonee Valley. There has been some rain around Moonee Valley so the track surface is sitting at a soft 6 right now. Good luck punters!

Top Tip (Best Bet): Dragoon

Dragoon has been a consistent performer, placing in three consecutive races without fail. Last start, Dragoon finished in the placings over 1400m at Sandown-Lakeside on 06/08/2025. Has won at this trip before, can do it again I think. At this trip, holds a record of 2-1-0, with 2 wins. Has never lost at Moonee Valley, a major plus.

Biggest Threat (Danger): Shoeless

Shoeless has consistently finished in the placings over the past three races. Last outing, Shoeless took on a 1600m race at Moonee Valley and finished 1st. This track is a favourite of Shoeless, and with a perfect record, it’s hard to see anything stopping him.

Value Play: Lincoln Rocks

Back from a spell and loves running on soft tracks. Has a nice records at the Valley too.

Best Bet - Race 8: Globe

Win Odds: $5.50 | Place Odds: $1.91

Top Tip (Best Bet): Globe

Missed the top four in his last run but showed enough to suggest a stronger performance is near. Track record isn’t inspiring, but anything can happen at Moonee Valley on Saturday.

Biggest Threat (Danger): Green Fly

A credible fourth-place finish last race, improving with each run. Green Fly ran at Flemington on 02/08/2025, finishing 4th in a 1410m event. Despite no wins yet at Moonee Valley, Green Fly has had some solid performances here.

Value Play: Pounding

Settled for second last time, but showed enough to suggest a win is coming. Pounding competed at Caulfield over 2000m, finishing 2nd. Pounding has the potential to build on its past performances here, showing flashes of brilliance. Has raced 8 times at this track, winning 2 times.

Best Bet - Race 9: De Bergerac

Win Odds: $5.00 | Place Odds: $1.95

Top Tip (Best Bet): De Bergerac

De Bergerac has been a consistent performer, placing in three consecutive races without fail. De Bergerac stepped out at Flemington on 02/08/2025, finishing 1st over 1200m.

Biggest Threat (Danger): Pivotal Ten

Resuming on Saturday and is a two-time winner at the distance. Placed in her only first-up run before.

Value Play: Red Hot Nicc

Last start winner with a powerful finish. On 09/08/2025, Red Hot Nicc lined up at Moonee Valley, finishing 1st over 1200m. Red Hot Nicc has shown it can get the job done at Moonee Valley, so don’t count it out. At this track, holds a record of 3-2-0, with 3 wins. Knows how to navigate soft going, but might need things to go its way. Solid on soft tracks, winning 3 times from 6 runs.

Luke Cartwright should have a good day at the track. He has 5 runners and they’re all giving punters a bit of value, especially Pounding in Race 8.

On Saturday, this is my quaddie bet of the day to get around, should offer plenty of fun while watching the races live.

Investment: $48 for a 33% flexi
