Racing will return to Moonee Valley this Friday night, where an eight-race card is set down for decision. The track was rated as a Good 4 at the time of acceptances; however, with rain forecast on Friday, expect a downgrade before the meeting begins. The rail will be pushed out to the +7m position for the entire circuit, with racing set to kick off at 6:15pm AEST.
Best Bet at Moonee Valley: Muktamil
Muktamil has won two of his last three starts for the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young stable and he will rise to 3000m for the first time on Friday evening. The son of Sea The Stars recorded a dominant win at Sandown over 2400m last start, where he settled on speed before running away from his rivals late. Jamie Mott will continue his strong affiliation with this gelding, and if he can settle midfield off the fence, Muktamil will prove hard to beat.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#5 Muktamil (9)
5yo Gelding | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: Jamie Mott (55kg)

Next Best at Moonee Valley: Romani Ite Domum
It is easy to make a case that Romani Ite Domum should have broken his maiden on debut at Sandown, where he led the field up over 1300m and looked a strong winning hope before the jockey dropped the whip. The Ben, Will & JD Hayes-trained gelding battled hard in the final 100m but was run over by Andrina late to finish second. Although he has to contend with a wide barrier (10), Romani Ite Domum has the speed to overcome the draw, and with even luck, he should be winning this.
Next Best
Race 1 – 
#4 Romani Ite Domum (10)
3yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Michael Dee (58kg)

Best Value at Moonee Valley: Wolfgang
Wolfgang returns as a gelding for his third racing preparation, with the benefit of a strong 800m trial victory at Cranbourne on September 16. The Lloyd Kennewell & Lucy Yeomans-trained galloper kicked off last campaign with back-to-back victories over 1000m and 1200m, indicating that he races well fresh. With a lot of speed expected in this contest, Michael Dee can settle Wolfgang behind the speed, peel off the leaders heels and finish off strongly at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#10 Wolfgang (9)
3yo Gelding | T: Lloyd Kennewell & Lucy Yeomans | J: Michael Dee (56.5kg)
