Horse racing in Victoria heads to Moonee Valley on Friday night for a competitive eight-race meeting. A scorching top of 35 degrees is forecast for Melbourne, meaning the Good 4 track rating will likely be upgraded to a Good 3 at some point. The rail comes out 7m for the entire circuit, with the action set to get underway at 6:15pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Moonee Valley: Spione
Spione could not have been more impressive on debut when scoring by a narrow margin at the Moonee Valley 1200m. Having sustained a long sprint from the rear of the field, the four-year-old gelding won by just a half-head but arguably would have been further had the runner-up not laid out on him in the home straight. The son of Showtime returns to the same course and distance on Friday night, and with a repeat effort, Spione should remain undefeated through two starts.

Race 7 – #9 Spione (8)

Next Best at Moonee Valley: Exopipi
Exopipi has been a shade unlucky in her last two starts at Morphettville. Jake Stephens’ mare was crucially held up for a run two starts back when a moral beaten, and then struggled to cut back the deficit last time out when settling at the rear of a seven-horse field in a leader-dominated affair. Barrier one is a touch concerning, but with the in-form Lachlan Neindorf making the trip across the border, Exopipi will just need clear air at the right time to be bringing up an overdue success.

Best Value at Moonee Valley: Wild Ruby
Wild Ruby has not had much luck in any of her three starts, but the way she keeps hitting the line once in clear air suggests she will not remain a maiden for long. The four-year-old mare should have won at Echuca on November 5 when held up until the 200m mark, flashing home to be beaten by the barest of margins. Alana Kelly should keep her out of trouble from barrier 12 this time, and if Wild Ruby can replicate the same turn of foot she produced at Echuca, she looks over the odds with BlondeBet.
