Moonee Valley Race 8 - The Orbit Logistics Valley Summer Sprint Series Heat 5 (Bm78)
OVERACTIVE (7) ran a good race fresh at Sandown Lakeside, starting hard in the market when beaten half a length by the talented Sunshineinmypocket. Fitter for that, Shinn goes on and he just needs to settle him midfield to prove very hard to hold out. BETTER LINK (6) was a narrow winner fresh, sticking on fairly well behind Sunshineinmypocket last time. He should get a nice run just behind the pace here and take beating. EXCESS (9) found form last time with an all-the-way win here. This is harder but she can give cheek. DUEL VENTURE (11) is racing well and should be thereabouts again.

Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently raced on the pace before fading 12th of 14 at Flemington Bm84 on January 18 over 1400m, 7 len behind Is It Me with 56.5kg at $14. The run before that 2nd in a small field at Randwick Bm88 on January 4 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Disneck carrying 52kg at $8. Best form gives him a chance.

Going well. Most recently won by 1.0 len at this track Bm64 January 31 over 1200m defeating Superset with 61kg at $5.50. The run before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Mornington Bm64 on January 19 over 1000m, nose behind Master Of Chant with 58kg at $2.50. Back in form and can win again.
