Moonee Valley is the destination for feautre racing in Victoria on Friday night, with the Listed Abell Stakes (1200m) set to light up the track. With clear skies forecasted, the eight-race meeting is likely to be run on a Good 4 track, while the rail will be out 3m for the entire circuit. The first event at the Moonee Valley races is scheduled to jump at 6:15pm AEDT.
Abell Stakes Tip: London’s Image
London’s Image threw away victory in the Listed Magic Millions WA 3YO Trophy (1200m) at Pinjarra after leading the field up, as she drifted up the track and was grabbed in the shadows of the winning post. The tight-turning circuit of Moonee Valley should suit the WA-based filly, and Brad Parnham — who comes across the Nullarbor for the ride — should have no issue taking up the running from barrier one. With better racing manners, and only 54kg on her back, London’s Image will take some running down in the 2025 Abell Stakes.

Best Bet at Moonee Valley: Trapeze Warrior
Trapeze Warrior was a dominant Moonee Valley 1000m winner on February 14, settling close to the speed and then kicking clear to get home by 1.3 lengths. The four-year-old gelding should have no issue settling outside the lead once again under Thomas Stockdale, and despite stepping back slightly in trip to 955m, the son of Trapeze Artist is rock-hard fit and will take some catching.

Next Best at Moonee Valley: Time Lapse
Following a determined runner-up effort at the Moonee Valley 1200m on February 14, Time Lapse looks set to go one better as he returns to the same track and trip. The son of I Am Invincible seems to be a natural frontrunner and, from barrier 10, should have no issue in cutting down to take up the running. Blake Shinn sticking on board is a bonus, and with a well-timed steer from out in front, Time Lapse should prove hard to run down.
