Moonee Valley Race 4

Musk Creek Farm Vobis Gold Carat

Stake: $192,500

PRINCESS QUE (6) just on top. She was thereabouts on debut at Bendigo but improved markedly at this track and trip last time, leading throughout to beat Sweethearted by 2.25 lengths. That horse has since come out and won a rich race easily at Pakenham. Shinn takes the ride from barrier 1 and they should be awfully hard to catch from there. JUST FOR SHOW (1) is a very nice type who has won 2/3 this time in, too strong over 1400m at Ballarat in a Class 3 last time out. Back to 1200m here but he draws to stalk the main danger. ACTA NON VERBA (3) is off a let up for this and back to 1200m having struggled in the G3 Carbine Club at Flemington when last seen. He has ability, don't discount at each way odds. RUBIQUITY (5) is coming along well and has minor claims. STORMBOURG (2) next best.

Racing well. Most recently won by a head at Ballarat Cl3-Sw December 7 over 1400m defeating Illuminance with 57kg at $7.50. The race before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 11 at Bendigo Cl1 on November 13 over 1300m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Stylish carrying 58kg at $11. Very promising type who should go close.

Useful colt. Returns from a 56-day let-up. Last start didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 7 at Flemington in the G3 Carbine Club on November 2 over 1600m, 12 len behind Aeliana with 57kg at $9.50. The race before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 11 at Caulfield 3yo Bm70 on October 16 over 1600m, long-neck behind Treasurethe Moment with 56kg at $13. Back in trip here could suit much better.

Useful gelding. Most recently 3rd of 7 at this track 3yo Bm64 on December 13 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind It's A Yes with 58.5kg at $4.60. Before that 3rd of 7 at this track 3yo Bm64 on November 22 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Biancelli with 58.5kg at $3. Not far away last time. Going well, each way chance.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Bendigo 3yo F Mdn-Sw on November 13 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Shadhavar carrying 57kg at $4.50. Second-up won by 2.25 len at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw December 6 over 1200m defeating Sweethearted with 56kg at $13. Rates highly and will take beating again.
