Friday night’s racing comes from Moonee Valley where perfect conditions should await. Don’t expect Via Sistina’s 2040m track record to be in danger.
Best Bet
Nova Lights gave young apprentice Steph Hateley her first win at Mornington last start and looks well placed to back it up here. The form out of the race has been strong with second and third providing the quinella in a race at Ballarat last week. She can sit just off favourite Fickle and be stronger late.
Recommended Price: $4.20
Confidence Level: 4/5

Delicious Tycoon’s recent form is only fair but she is really nice placed in this race. In particular, the mare draws to get a pretty comfortable lead here with a number of key rivals likely to get back in the run. Can bounce back here.

Grand Larceny has flashed nice ability but it is telling that he resumes here as a gelding. This is a handy race but I loved his recent jumpout win at Flemington where he showed good speed and held off a handy one late. Just needs things to unfold early from the draw to go very close.
Recommended Price: $6.00

Kinetic Jewel comes across from Adelaide where trainer Phillip Stokes has her running well, with two impressive performances since a spell. She strikes a very thin metro race here and with even luck should take plenty of beating.
