Moe Race 8 - Ladbrokes Moe Cup
Keen on MAGNASPIN (2) in the Moe Cup now that he's found some form. His past two starts have been strong, just missing in the Seymour Cup two back then boxing on well for third at Flemington behind Sabaj. Rock hard fit and will be very hard to run down. SMOKIN' ROMANS (1) has to rebound from a plain G3 Coongy Cup run but his best is absolutely good enough and the G3 sixth two back is solid form. GRAND PIERRO (6) was held up in a BM96 on Cup Day and has a genuine excuse for the 12th, while his earlier G3 Bendigo Cup fifth reads well. Will be strong late. BRING FORTH (7) presents third up having made nice improvement in the Kyneton Cup. Peaks now and should go well. REGAL LION (8) can sneak into the finish.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing second last in the G3 Coongy Cup at Caulfield, beaten ten lengths at long odds and making no impression late. His previous sixth in the G3 JRA Cup was sounder, beaten four and a half lengths in a Quality. Can improve here.

Went close in strong Listed company on Cup Day, finishing third in the Listed Melbourne Cup Day Plate and beaten just over half a length after looming at Flemington. That followed a neck second in the Listed Seymour Cup, where he was bumped late, so the form is rock-solid. Looks ready to break through and will give a sight.

Comes off a strong Listed Sale Cup win on heavy ground, beating Freedom Rally by a length after having difficulty getting clear near the 300m and still finishing with something in hand. That is a sharp turnaround from his BM78 11th at Caulfield, where he was well found but did not quicken. Up in trip now looks fine, can make it back-to-back country cups.

Was safely held at Kyneton last start, finishing seventh of eight and beaten over 12 lengths after settling well back and failing to make ground. He had won at Horsham the run prior, beating Aftermath by just over a length, and the weight relief is a small help. Mixes form but draws for every hope.

Finished eighth in a BM90 on Oaks Day, beaten six and a half lengths at big odds after covering ground and only working home fairly. His previous run was last in the G3 Coongy Cup, beaten over 16 lengths, with only a minor tightening noted. Needs to find best.

Had a genuine excuse when 12th in a BM96 on Cup Day, with stewards noting he was held up passing the 300m before finishing beaten six and a half lengths. He had earlier run fifth in the G3 Bendigo Cup, albeit at long odds and after covering ground. Mixes form but best is good enough.

Improved sharply third-up when third at Kyneton, beaten just under four lengths after being held up from the 500m on heavy ground. His Caulfield BM80 return was plain, but he is fitter now and has won at his only start at this track. Third-up now, he has clear each way claims.

Has finished fourth at both runs since resuming, most recently beaten just under five lengths at St Arnaud after being near the top of betting. His Caulfield BM80 fourth prior was stronger, beaten two lengths at big odds. Not out of it.

Worked home fairly for eighth in a BM80 on Cup Day, beaten four lengths after being unwanted in the market. He had been better at Cranbourne the start prior, finishing third in a BM78 and beaten just over a length after travelling well. Best is good enough and maps well, not the worst.

Began slowly again when fifth in a BM90 on Oaks Day, giving away a start before finishing just fairly and beaten just over five lengths at long odds. He was also slow away in the Listed Seymour Cup, where he made late ground but was still beaten by Magnaspin. Drops from a BM90 and gets Jye McNeil, but he looks a minor chance only.
