Moonee Valley Race 3 - Western General Bodyworks (Bm78)
EXCESS (6) can look to offset a wide gate by crossing to sit in the first pair and if she gets there with minimal fuss, she'll take beating. She's been around the mark of late and if the track is favouring those on speed, she can keep kicking. HAPPY LINK (8) is a nice type on the up. She stuck on fairly in a bunched finish first up off a spell at Sandown Lakeside, not far away as a $3 chance. She boasts a win over Treasurethe Moment last time in and maps well. SHESALLSHENANIGANS (1) wasn't beaten far in a very messy finish at Bendigo last time out. Form prior is rock solid for this. MATERIAL DREAMS (2) was solid to the line in a decent race at Flemington last time out. Did get in with 51kg there but it's good form nonetheless and she should be hard to hold out. HONOR GALORE (4) should be thereabouts.

Useful mare. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Most recently 3rd in a small field at Cranbourne Bm70 on March 28 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Attain with 58kg at $2.60. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 11 at Caulfield Bm74 on March 15 over 1200m, 4 len behind Tatsumaki carrying 58kg at $8. Nice effort last time. Go close.
