Moe (VIC) – Good 4
R1 – Hurricane Hire Maiden Plate (1600m)
Analysis
VALLO (10) drops back to non-metro grade after a solid Cranbourne placing and looks ideally placed to break through. SHREWDNESS (8) was narrowly beaten at Colac and comes from a powerful yard, so must be respected. FEARLESS MONARCH (11) has been consistent in the market and has the pace to offset the wide draw. LUCKY CHANCE (4) resumes but showed ability before the spell and can feature.
