Best Odds provided

Top Pick: 

1. Maximum Vortex

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$4.00 with VicBet

Quick Analysis:

Sticking with the top weight here in Maximum Vortex. The gelding should be able to take care of this field, and he presents value, going around on the equal second line of betting, at $4.00. He enjoys the Soft conditions, with a current record of 7: 2-2-2 on Soft, and he has trialled well, with jockey Ben Looker on board.

Top Pick: 

6. Lady Shenandoah

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$2.30 with Dabble

Quick Analysis:

Friday night racing comes to Moonee Valley, and the headline is, of course, the Group One Manikato Stakes. Lady Shenandoah is the pre-race favourite, and I can’t realistically see anyone else beating her. She gets no favours with the barrier draw, and after an unlucky run to kick off her prep, she’s more than due for some luck today.

Top Pick: 

5. Abounding

Recommended Bet Type:

Win

Best Odds Available:

$4.00 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

Going to the last at Moonee Valley now, and I like the look of Abounding, who is currently on the second line of betting. She’s tackling this one third-up and has been good without winning just yet. Kicking things off in the Cockram Stakes, finishing third, 1.21L off the pace, last time out, finished third again by just 0.6L in the Let's Elope Stakes.
