Time: 8:15 PM | Distance: 3000 m | Prize $ 65200
Top Pick
Border Leicester
Dividend : $6.00, $1.70
Won
F: X4113B(5)W(60.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Emma-Lee & David Browne )
Running well with two recent wins and a placing. No reason why it can't win this race at a generous price.
Main Danger
Galilaeus
F: 1X662B(8)W(59.0)
( J-Declan Bates )
( T-A & S Freedman )
Capped off moderate form with a second placing last time out. At very short odds, but they could be justified.
Next Best
Bon Appetit
F: 22112B(3)W(56.5)
( J-Carleen Hefel )
( T-Julien Welsh )
Another runner good enough to win consecutive races this prep. Nothing wrong with its form and it adds to the depth.
Consider
Guns Ablazing
F: X4482B(1)W(56.0)
( J-Blaike McDougall )
( T-A & A Yargi )
Looks to turn its form around and a last-start placing helps. Gets all favours off the inside draw, so include.
Longer Odds
Mr Blackwood
F: 76047B(7)W(58.5)
( J-Daniel Moor )
( T-Cindy Alderson )
The talent is there, but it's lacking confidence. Could grind away into a top three spot.

Top Pick
The 'Day's Best'
Foxicon
F: 114X6B(2)W(61.5)
( J-Jaylah Kennedy )
( T-Moody/Coleman )
Didn't fire last start but it has bounce-back qualities. Second-up form reads well and it loves The Valley.
Main Danger
Philosopher
Dividend : $2.20, $0.00
Won
F: X1112B(4)W(61.0)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-Enver Jusufovic )
The ultimate gear change has worked, winning three and placing last start. Took a good one to beat it last start, so it's the worthy favourite.
Next Best
Shirshov
Dividend :
Place
F: X1X55B(1)W(59.5)
( J-Jye McNeil )
( T-Julien Welsh )
Better for two runs back from a spell and it took on a smart field last start, where the winner is lining up Group 1 level on Sat. A nice type.
Consider
Title Fighter
F: 173XB(3)W(55.0)
( J-Paul Gatt )
( T-Clayton Douglas )
A debut winner at The Valley. Only fair since but it has had time to mature, and it could fire up here at each-way odds.
Longer Odds
Moon And Back
Dividend :
Place
F: 31492B(3)W(55.5)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-Andrew Noblet )
All around the mark and it owns three wins at The Valley. Worth including at the odds.

Race 3 - THE QUEST MOONEE VALLEY MIDDLE DISTANCE HEAT 4
Time: 9:15 PM | Distance: 1600 m | Prize $ 65200
Top Pick
Fire Of Etna
Dividend : $1.10
Place
F: 2X162B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-A & S Freedman )
Only a half-length behind the winner last time out and that form reads well. Gets all favours from the draw.
Main Danger
Kind Gesture
F: X3026B(4)W(61.5)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-Michael Kent )
Yet to win from four attempts this prep but it's not far away. Getting weight off its back helps its cause.
Next Best
Nursery Chime
Dividend : $1.70
Place
F: 51122B(2)W(59.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Kennewell & Yeomans )
Won back-to-back races earlier this season before rattling off consecutive placings. Running well enough to beat this field.
Consider
Starspangled Baby
F: 80227B(8)W(62.0)
( J-Logan McNeil )
( T-Andrew Perdon )
Only fair last start but its form prior was solid enough. Handles The Valley well and a win wouldn't be a shock.
Longer Odds
Best "Roughie"
Aperitivo
F: 12290B(5)W(59.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-B, W & JD Hayes )
A much better effort is expected than its last two. Could boost payouts at a price.

Race 4 - THE MARSH VIC RIA MIDDLE DISTANCE SERIES HEAT 3
Time: 9:45 PM | Distance: 1600 m | Prize $ 65200
Top Pick
Zamborghini
F: 18133B(4)W(61.5)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Big weight to carry but it has class on its side. A two-time winner from three starts at the track.
Main Danger
Rise At Dawn
Dividend : $1.90, $1.10
Won
F: 14X1B(1)W(58.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-B, W & JD Hayes )
It has attracted the most attention with bookmakers following a four-length win. Promising, but the odds could easily be swapped with the top pick.
Next Best
Slane
F: X3192B(3)W(59.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Enver Jusufovic )
Never too far away and it owns a win and two placings this prep. Drawn well and it's over the odds.
Consider
Funambulist
F: 1322XB(5)W(60.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Annabel Neasham )
Ended last prep with three consecutive placings. Yet to race at the track but it's an adaptable type.
Longer Odds
Jupitus
F: 796X5B(2)W(59.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Chris Waller )
Goes well second-up and the Waller-trained runner could add value.

Race 5 - THE EDSA GROUP VALLEY MIDDLE DISTANCE SERIES HT5
Time: 10:15 PM | Distance: 2040 m | Prize $ 65200
Top Pick
Musgrave
F: 42251B(7)W(58.0)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Liked its win last time out at each-way odds, and punters get value odds again. Worth including at the price.
Main Danger
Lauding
Dividend : $3.50, $1.70
Won
F: X4422B(9)W(58.5)
( J-Ben Melham )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
Getting close after two second placings. Needs to win a race soon, as its short odds suggest.
Next Best
Moveforlex
F: 21X54B(3)W(60.0)
( J-Billy Egan )
( T-Patrick Payne )
Better for two runs back from a spell and it won its only race with Billy Egan in the saddle. Talented at best.
Consider
Verifier
Dividend : $1.90
Place
F: 14X44B(5)W(58.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Nigel Blackiston )
Adds to the depth of this field. Another runner ready to show its best, and it should be right around the mark.
Longer Odds
Son Of Solly
F: DX874B(4)W(58.0)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Grahame Begg )
Fourth last time out was solid enough to include here at the price.
