Another Friday night of racing at Moonee Valley awaits, and despite no black-type events, a strong eight-race program is set down for decision. With plenty of wet weather in Melbourne throughout the week, the track has come up a Soft 6 and should remain in that range for this meeting. Having been in the true position last Friday, the rail comes out 7m the entire circuit. The action from The Valley is set to commence at 6:15pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Moonee Valley: Little Eagle
With three wins under her belt from as many starts, Little Eagle looks to have found a nice race as she comes to town for the first time. She was a smart BM58 winner at Donald first-up and then went on to smash her rivals in a BM64 at Seymour on September 17. She stays in BM64 grade on Friday night, and with the aid of Laura Lafferty’s 2kg claim, Little Eagle gets in perfectly at the weights. She may need a touch of luck from barrier four, but if the breaks come her way, this girl can remain undefeated.

Race 5 – 
#7 Little Eagle (4)

Next Best at Moonee Valley: Frilled
Frilled comes to Melbourne for the first time and looks set to relish the Moonee Valley circuit. The four-year-old mare returned as a smart all-the-way winner at Kembla Grange, and from barrier six on Friday night, she should have no issues finding the rail and dictating terms. She gains the services of Damien Oliver for her toughest assignment to date, but with a relatively uncontested lead expected, Frilled should prove too hard to chase down.

Next Best Again at Moonee Valley: Alsonso
We will be looking to kick the night off in style when the Leon & Troy Corstens-trained Alsonso looks to break maiden ranks at start six. The three-year-old gelding put in an eye-catching run when finishing third behind Wolfy at Flemington last time out, and he looks to have struck a winnable race fourth-up. Craig Williams hops on board for the first time, and from barrier seven, if ‘Willow’ can gain a tow into the race approaching the home turn, Alsonso should be far too good for this field.
Next Best Again
Race 1 – 
#1 Alsonso (7)
3yo Gelding | T: Leon & Troy Corstens | J: Craig Williams (58kg)
