This Friday night, the spotlight will shine on the Listed Abell Stakes amidst an exciting eight-race lineup at Moonee Valley. After some hot weather earlier in the week, officials expect the track to remain in the Good range throughout the program. The rail will be= 4m out for the entirety of the circuit, with the first race scheduled to commence at 6:15pm AEDT.
Abell Stakes Tip: Jungle Jim
Jungle Jim was a touch disappointing in a BM84 at Caulfield when weakening to finish fourth over the 1100m, but his two wins prior to that run were eye-catching. He put 2.3 lengths on Rey Magnerio at Flemington on January 20 and then held out the impressive Is It Me in a strong form race. Celine Gaudray will have him leading from the outset, and as long as he can find the rail without using up too many carrots, Jungle Jim should prove too hard to run down in Friday night’s feature.

Best Bet at Moonee Valley: Sea What I See
Sea What I See coasted to maiden success first-up at Bendigo on February 11, getting home by 3.8 lengths after settling outside the lead and then putting the race to bed in a couple of strides. Barrier two should suit the Sea The Stars mare perfectly, and with Blake Shinn sticking on board, the recipe for success is clear. She should gain an uncontested lead over the 1600m, and with a good kick on the home turn, Sea What I See will prove too hard to run down.

Next Best at Moonee Valley: My Name Is
My Name Is comes to this 955m scamper following a dominant all-the-way victory over 1000m at Moonee Valley on February 9. Drawn ideally in barrier one, the three-year-old gelding will look to run his rivals off their feet once again, and with a 3.5kg weight advantage on market rival Holy Racket, he will look to make the most of it. Damian Lane will need to use up some tickets early to hold the rail, but My Name Is should prove too slick for this field.
