Moonee Valley - Race 1 - The PKF Summer Series Heat 3 - 1600m

Selections:
2. Howlin' Rain - $2.70
1. Georgie Get Mad - $3.80
5. Roguery - $5.00

BEST BET - Howlin' Rain - $2.70
It has been three fantastic wins on the spin for Howlin' Rain and it will be eager to get back out there and make it a 4th. Conditions at Moonee Valley look to be tailormade and this should be another chance for it to land a win.

THE DANGER - Georgie Get Mad - $3.80
British flyer Georgie Get Mad should be bang in the hunt here, after hitting the post last time out and it comes from an in-form yard too. Perhaps beating Howlin' Rain is a tall order but this is a top quality horse, who could well compete.

VALUE BET -  Roguery - $5.00
Another horse that was unlucky not to land a win last time out was Roguery, who will be looking to go one better this time around. The distance looks perfect and this is a horse to keep an eye on as the markets develop.

Moonee Valley - Race 6 - The EDSA Series Heat 5 - 1600m

Selections:
8. Our Queen - $1.80
10. The Marg Factor - $7.50
5. Fearless Writer - $8.00

BEST BET - Our Queen - $1.80
Craig Williams gets the nod on the hugely talented Our Queen, a horse that many people are expecting to kick on in the weeks to come this season. The Irish flyer has won its first two races and looks a good bet to make it 3 on the spin.

THE DANGER - The Marg Factor - $7.50
Another horse on a winning streak here is The Marg Factor but overcoming Our Queen does feel like a tall order. That said, Marg Factor is a gutsy type, who won't go down easily over 1600m.

VALUE BET - Fearless Writer - $8.00
Blake Shinn is in the hoop on Fearless Writer and this horse has enjoyed plenty of near misses of late, without perhaps getting the wins it deserves and it looks a great bet to be in the places.

Moonee Valley - Race 8 - The Orbit Series Heat 5 - 1200m

Selections:
7. Overactive - $3.80
9. Excess - $4.60
1. Intrepid Eagle - $15.00

BEST BET - Overactive - $3.80
British flyer Overactive will be racing out of the Freedman yard here and with Blake Shinn on board, looks to be a good bet to pick up its first win of the season. Recent showings haven't been too hot though and it will need to improve.

THE DANGER - Excess - $4.60
By contrast, Excess is a horse bang in form, with a win and a place from its last two outings and it has pace to burn over this sort of trip. Keep an eye on this one as the markets develop.

VALUE BET - Intrepid Eagle - $15.00
Two wins from its last three races make Intrepid Eagle a very interesting prospect in this one and who knows how far this horse can go. Competition is pretty stiff on paper but Intrepid Eagle is a decent competitor, who could certainly challenge here.
