Moonee Valley Race 2 - Musk Creek Farm (Bm64)
MALLETIER (2) is a progressive three-year-old who has won his past two, a strong winner as an odds-on chance at Wangaratta before improving again at Pakenham to score by three lengths. Comes up against some better types here but looks capable of measuring up again. TADGH (4) was a dominant winner on debut at Yarra Valley over 1009m as a $2.60 chance, coming from midfield to score impressively. He looks smart and can go on with the job. CASTELLAR (1) is racing well, winning two in a row prior to last start at Mornington in this grade when narrowly beaten. He's a speedy type who should take catching. ICY POLE (8) resumes having won well on debut as a well supported $2 favourite at Hamilton. Level of improvement the key. BOX OFFICE (5) was a strong three length maiden winner at Cranbourne when last seen and has to be respected again.

Racing well. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Mornington Bm64 on January 22 over 1000m, long-neck behind Simple Times carrying 59.5kg at $3.60. The run before that favourite; won by 0.8 len at Mornington Bm64 January 8 over 1000m defeating Earth God with 57kg at $3.40. Should give a bold sight.
