Moonee Valley - Race 1 - The Normie Jones Handicap - 1200m

Selections:
2. Tom - $2.20
4. Ornos - $3.00
3. Leave No Doubt - $4.80

BEST BET - Tom - $2.20
A few scratchings have left a strong top two in the market here at Moonee Valley in the opener and Tom looks to be the pick of them. It won well over this distance last time out and is the justified market leader.

THE DANGER - Ornos - $3.00
One win from one career outing makes Ornos a genuine contender here and the booking of Blake Shinn on board feels shrewd. This should be a good contest, with Ornos having a great chance of challenging.

VALUE BET - Leave No Doubt - $4.80
It has been a short while since Leave No Doubt was seen on the track but on racing credentials, this horse should be bang in the mix. Conditions should suit nicely and Leave No Doubt is the outside punt of many.

Moonee Valley - Race 3 - Summer Middle Distance Series Heat 6 - 1600m

Selections:
5. Mr Vivaci - $2.00
2. Al Duca - $2.80
3. Et Tu Brute - $5.50

BEST BET - Mr Vivaci - $2.00
Chris Waller has been getting a tune out of Mr Vivaci in recent weeks and it will be eager to kick on again in this one. Damian Lane is on board and this flyer is here to win at the Valley.

THE DANGER - Al Duca - $2.80
The Freedman yard is bang in form but Al Duca hasn't been getting the results many people expected of late. That said, this horse is very talented and could score a win in this field if it runs well.

VALUE BET -  Et Tu Brute - $5.50
Stablemate Et Tu Brute is not in great nick either, following a few quiet races but it has produced the goods over this distance previously and it will be one to watch as the markets develop.

Moonee Valley - Race 7 - Abell Stakes - 1200m

Selections:
1. Brudenell - $2.70
4. Apache Song - $4.00
6. London's Image - $7.00

BEST BET - Brudenell - $2.70
The ever consistent Brudenell will be chasing a big win here in the Abell Stakes and on paper, it is the one to beat. It hasn't picked up a win of late but has hit the post on plenty of occasions and it won't be far away.

THE DANGER - Apache Song - $4.00
Having seen its three race winnng streak snapped here at Moonee Valley last time out, Apache Song will be back and ready to respond in this one. This is a strong horse, who will be bang in the mix.

VALUE BET - London's Image - $7.00
Two wins and two placings from 4 races are a huge tick in the box for London's Image, who will be eager to put in another strong showing here and it looks to be the value bet on the card.
