Deane’s Saturday Moonee Valley Best Bets Posted on October 27, 2017October 27, 2017 | Posted by Deane Lester Extra SuperPicks for Moonee Valley- Races 1 & 2 Race 1 Tricky start to the day with a race for the early season two year olds, MISS BLUMENTHAL (no.9) has trialled well and the stable have a good record in this race. SuperPick - Race 1 No. 9 MISS BLUMENTHAL - Place Boost Race 2 Another tough race but SIRBIBLE races well fresh and has a fine record at Moonee Valley, looks a great winning chance. SuperPick - Race 2 No. 3 SIRBIBLE - Money Back Deane Lester’s Best Bets RACE 6 NO. 1 BIG DUKE BIG DUKE is shaping as a genuine Melbourne Cup contender and can confirm that status with a win in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup (2500m). The Darren Weir trained gelding has been building his form during spring with a 2nd behind FOUNDRY in the Group One Metropolitan (2400m) at Randwick on September 30 before an emphatic win in the ATC St Leger Stakes (2600m) at Randwick on October 14. He is a winner at Moonee Valley and has far more upside than his rivals; should be winning. SuperPick - RACE 6 NO. 1 BIG DUKE - Win Boost + Money Back (2nd & 3rd) RACE 7 NO. 6 PAGEANTRY The best value on the Cox Plate day program is PAGEANTRY when she contests the 3yo Fillies Classic (1600m). The Anthony Freedman trained galloper should be at peak fitness following four runs back from a spell and comes off a luckless last start 7th behind BRING ME ROSES in the Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) at Flemington on October 7. The Freedman stable have a great record in this race over the years and PAGEANTRY looks ideally placed to run well at each way odds. RACE 10 NO. 9 ALOISIA The Drummond Golf Vase (2040m) looks a match race between an in-form colt, CLIFF’S EDGE, and an in-form filly ALOISIA. CLIFF’S EDGE has been in flying form with a win in last week’s Caulfield Classic (2000m) whilst ALOISIA staked her claim for this race with a dominant win in the Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield on October 14. Whilst the quinella looks one of the best bets of the day, ALOISIA is still open to further improvement off her last run and can win again.
