Race Preview

ACTA NON VERBA (1) resumed off a let up at Moonee Valley over 1200m and ran well after leading, only overrun late to be beaten a neck. 1400m looks his sweet spot having won his maiden well over the trip and with that run under the belt, he can be in this for a long way. XARPO (3) is a promising filly who was dominant breaking her maiden two back before measuring up very well again here, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a similar race. She's progressive and rates strongly. RUBIQUITY (6) is a consistent type who was just behind Acta Non Verba at Moonee Valley without any luck at all in a messy finish. He'll have fans off that. STORMY GROVE (2) won nicely on debut at Geelong, coming from well back in the field over 1221m. He looks nicely suited up in trip and clearly has a strong turn of foot.

My Pick

Useful type. Last start rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd in a small field at Moonee Valley Vg Carat on December 28 over 1200m, neck behind Just For Show carrying 57kg at $8.50. Before that didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 7 at this track in the G3 Carbine Club on November 2 over 1600m, 12 len behind Aeliana carrying 57kg at $9.50. Nice return, he should be hard to catch here.

Freshened since claiming his maiden victory on debut; was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.3 len at Geelong Mdn-Sw December 5 over 1221m defeating Bruckheimer carrying 58kg at $6.50. Harder here but looks promising.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 1.75 len at this track 3yo Bm70 January 1 over 1400m defeating Seindeel carrying 55kg at $3.40. The race before that won by 5 len at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw December 13 over 1400m defeating California Flyer with 56kg at $2.80. Very smart and looks hard to beat again.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Ararat 3yo Mdn-Sw on November 26 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind It's A Yes carrying 58kg at $3.30. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by a nose at Moe 3yo Mdn-Sw December 17 over 1114m defeating Home Zone with 58kg at $1.95. Watch for him rattling home once again, but this may be too tough.

Recent form sound. Last start in a small field at Moonee Valley Vg Carat on December 28 over 1200m, 0.7 len behind Just For Show carrying 57kg at $10. The run before that 3rd of 7 at Moonee Valley 3yo Bm64 on December 13 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind It's A Yes with 58.5kg at $4.60. Racing well, should go close.
