Interstate Watch: Moonee Valley Saturday

There are three talented local horses making the trip east this weekend to contest two races at Moonee Valley on Saturday. 

Last start winner Beluga Blue and the Naracoorte local Have Another Glass will do battle in Race 4 while the Ryan Balfour's Mystified will be hoping to add a second Moonee Valley win to his resume in Race 6. 

Moonee Valley Race 4 – 1600m

#1 Beluga Blue – Leon Macdonald & Andrew Gluyas | Stephen Baster

Classy mare Beluga Blue travels to Melbourne after her last start win at Morphettville two weeks ago. Before that she was fourth in the Group 3 RA Lee Stakes behind Burning Front on Darley Goodwood Day.

She has a Listed win to her name and has contested some high quality races in her career including last year’s Group 1 Schweppes Oaks.

If she can overcome the wide barrier and handle the 60.5kg with Stephen Baster aboard she will be a big chance in the race

Beluga Blue is currently a $6.50 chance with UBET

 

#3 Have Another Glass – Sue Jaensch | Jake Bayliss

The Naracoorte trained Have Another Glass returns to Moonee Valley where she charged home late to run fourth a fortnight ago over the 1500m.

She steps up to 1600m for this race and will get a 2kg claim from apprentice Jake Bayliss.

She has only been beaten by less than a length in her last three starts, two of those in black type races and if she can run up to that standard she will be right in the finish again on Saturday.

Have Another Glass is currently a $6.50 chance with UBET 

 

Moonee Valley Race 6 – 1200m

#7 Mystified – Ryan Balfour | Damien Oliver

The Ryan Balfour trained Mystified finds herself across the border again this weekend after running seventh at the Valley behind Katsuro two weeks ago.

She stays at the 1200m and will be hoping to recapture some of the form she had in her last preparation where she won two in a row in Victoria.

Champion jockey Damien Oliver jumps aboard her for the second time and is undefeated on her, steering her to victory at Moonee Valley in December 2016.   

Mystified is currently a $8 chance with UBET
