Moonee Valley Race 4 - Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting (Bm100)
MORNINGTON GLORY (1) resumes off an extended break due to injury but naturally looks very well placed in benchmark grade as a Group 1 Moir Stakes winner over this track and distance. In fact, he's unbeaten in four runs over this course and distance and has won a jumpout leading in. Late betting will be key but anything like his best and he may just be too good for these. If not, MIDWEST (2) is the one that will be very hard to catch. He's off a let up for this having run well at Flemington last time out behind the in form Marble Nine. He's also unbeaten (3/3) over this route and gets Zahra aboard. OAK HILL (3) resumes with an imposing winning strike rate. 1000m is his go and while this is a bit harder, he gets down in the weights with Shinn booked. BEAST MODE (6) plummets in weight and warrants respect while BOSTON ROCKS (5) may want a touch further but can stay on late.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of ten months. Finished off last preparation third of 9 at this track in the G2 Mcewen October 26 over 1200m, 3 len behind Baraqiel with 58.5kg at $9. Previously first up; fifth of 8 at Caulfield in the G3 J Monash July 13 2024 over 1100m, soft track; 9 len behind Recommendation carrying 58.5kg at $6.50. Class runner who might just be too good.

Comes off a 49 day let-up. Last start led but faded 3rd of 8 at Flemington Hcp on June 21 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Marble Nine carrying 57.5kg at $13. The race before that led to the turn then faded 9th of 13 at Caulfield in the LR Bel Esprit on May 31 over 1100m, 3 len behind Niance with 56.5kg at $21. Speedy type who takes catching.
