Visit Dabble |
The Group 2 Moonee Valley Gold Cup (2500m) is the marquee event on the eight-race card at Moonee Valley on Friday evening. A perfect night should mean we have a Good 4 throughout the meeting, and with the rail in its true position, every runner will get their chance if good enough. The first race at Moonee Valley is set to jump at 6:15pm AEDT.
Moonee Valley Gold Cup Tip: Just Fine
Just Fine may have been tiring late when saluting in The Bart Cummings (2520m), but that was his first start at the trip. Sticking at 2500m, the son of Sea The Stars is sure to appreciate that experience as he heads to Moonee Valley for the first time. Barrier 10 is offset by his want to lead, and if he can cross stablemate Serpentine early on, Just Fine will take a power of beating in the 2024 Moonee Valley Gold Cup.

Best Bet at Moonee Valley: She’s Bulletproof
She’s Bulletproof did all but win on debut when returning from a five-month spell at Bendigo on October 6. The five-year-old mare was only grabbed late by Pondalowie, who has since run well in Saturday company to frank the form. From barrier seven, Craig Williams will have the mare up on speed once again, and with a strong second-up record (2: 1-1-0), She’s Bulletproof should prove too slick this time around.

Next Best at Moonee Valley: Mornington Pier
Following three straight runner-up efforts, Mornington Pier looks ready to break through. The four-year-old gelding has run brilliantly behind a few smart ones this time in, and he heads to The Valley with a mere 52kg on his back after Luke Cartwright’s claim. The son of Pierro will have a 10kg weight advantage on race favourite Verdad, and if he can find clear air at the right time, Mornington Pier has the ability to overhaul his rivals.
