Moruya Jockey Club is the destination for country racing in NSW on Friday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program set for decision. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and although the track is currently rated a Soft 5, clear skies on Wednesday and Thursday should mean an upgrade into the Good range. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 1pm local time.
Best Bet at Moruya: Alicia Roma
Alicia Roma appears perfectly placed for the Mitchell Beer barn and brings some strong metro form into this first-up assignment. She’s been tested at Listed grade in the past, managing to finish close behind the likes of Katsu and Najeem Suhail at Flemington on December 20. She caught the eye in a recent barrier trial at Hawkesbury on September 17, careering away to score by 1.8 lengths while holding off Group 1 Golden Rose (1400m) winner Broadsiding. Provided Olivia Dalton can take this race by the scruff of the neck, Alicia Roma will prove hard to chase down.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#1 Alicia Roma (6)
6yo Mare | T: Mitchell Beer | J: Olivia Dalton (a3kg) (61.5kg)

Next Best at Moruya: Xanadu Miss
The Terry Robinson-trained Xanadu Miss hasn’t been sighted on a racecourse since cruising through the wire in an impressive piece of work at Nowra in October of 2023. Almost a year of the scene and no official trial does come as a minor concern, however, punters should be willing to trust the stable have the daughter of Xtravagant ready to go despite the lengthy layoff. Jeff Penza is booked to do the steering from gate seven and provided Xanadu Miss can show even a glimpse of her trial form on race-day, the four-year-old debutant will be hard to hold out.
Next Best
Race 2 – 
#5 Xanadu Miss (7)
4yo Mare | T: Terry Robinson | J: Jeff Penza (57kg)

Best Value at Moruya: Capital Heart
Capital Heart couldn’t have been more impressive first-up for the Matthew Dale barn, going on to score a dominant 1.5-length victory at this course on September 17. The son of Capitalist had no issues lugging the 60kg in Class 1 company, suggesting the four-year-old gelding is close to his best heading into this second-up assignment. He gets in below the minimum (54kg) after the claim of apprentice hoop Olivia Dalton, and with similar front-running tactics to be adopted, Capital Heart looks primed for back-to-back wins at a good price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#8 Capital Heart (3)
4yo Gelding | T: Matthew Dale | J: Olivia Dalton (a3kg) (56kg)
