Moonee Valley - Race 1 - Evergreen Turf Maiden Plate - 1000m

Selections:
10. Just Like Gaby - $2.20
2. Star Rapper - $2.50
4. Knock Me Out - $6.00

BEST BET - Just Like Gaby - $2.20
Having hit the post very hard last time out here at Moonee Valley, Just Like Gaby will be eager to kick on here. Conditions are similar and connections will be desperate to see it land a win.

THE DANGER - Star Rapper - $2.50
Similarly, Star Rapper came close to landing a big win on debut last time out at Pakenham and should be bang in the hunt in this one. The going and the trip look well suited and Star Rapper could pick up a first win here.

VALUE BET - Knock Me Out - $6.00
The betting market expands a touch with Knock Me Out, an exciting debutant for the Moody yard. Damian Lane on board always gives you a chance and Knock Me Out could cause a bit of a shock here.

Moonee Valley - Race 2 - Musk Creek Farm Handicap - 1000m

Selections:
2. Malletier - $2.50
4. Tadgh - $4.50
1. Castellar - $6.00

BEST BET - Malletier - $2.50
Blake Shinn picks up the ride on Malletier, one of the in-form horses in Victoria currently and it is chasing a third win on the spin. It will need to be speedy over 1100m but this horse looks versatile enough to challenge here.

THE DANGER - Tadgh - $4.50
One win from one race is the 100% Tadgh has to uphold here and it looks to be a serious contender. Whilst that previous win at Yarra Glen wasn't in this company, this horse has the capability to challenge here.

VALUE BET - Castellar - $6.00
As one of the more experienced horses in this race, Castellar should be able to navigate its way through this field and is has a decent record here at Moonee Valley - making it one to keep an eye on.

Moonee Valley - Race 7 - Evergreen Turf Handicap - 1600m

Selections:
9. Stylish - $4.20
6. Fearless Writer - $6.00
2. Blistering - $11.00

BEST BET - Stylish - $4.20
It has been a strong few weeks for Stylish, who came mightily close to picking up a very big win last time out at Flemington and this one at Moonee Valley could be the ideal fit.

THE DANGER - Fearless Writer - $6.00
Coming up on the proverbial rails is Fearless Writer, a very impressive horse for connections, who should challenge here. It may not have the pedigree of some in the field but recent showings have proved it can more than compete at this level.

VALUE BET - Blistering - $11.00
Winning is a habit and Blistering is very much in the groove at the moment. Whilst triumphing over course and distance last time out did come out of the blue, this horse is a proven performer and looks too good to turn down at these odds.
