MOONEE VALLEY R5 - Another Good Value 2 Horse War - The Listed McKenzie Stakes which is Race 5 at Moonee Valley on Saturday shapes as a high class renewal of the race likely to throw up plenty of future winners and realistically a Group class performance will be required to annex the race. 4 major chances exist but we have strong confidence around 2 of them creating nice value.
On top here we like the speedily bred IN FAITH who won 2 from 3 starts in its debut prep including its 2nd career start by 4.3l over this track and distance defeating Ebony Rock who the start prior was beaten the same margin by Military Rose in the Magic Millions and the start after was beaten 2.8l by Shamrocker in the VRC Sires Produce. Both of those form references suggest In Faith is a high class sprinter on the make capable of winning Group quality races and it is already confirmed it loves the Moonee Valley layout, it is the obvious top elect from an exposed form perspective. Currently on offer at 4/1 good value exists.
The big value commodity here and the one that is likely to form the major danger to In Faith is the Redoute's Choice gelding REKINDLED INTEREST who won its only start last prep at Bendigo over 1000m. It sat 2 wide outside the leader that day and battled on strong down the stretch to hold sway over Garvan who flashed big closing pars from off the pace with a big margin 2nd to 3rd adding good depth to the form out of the race. Garvan prior finished 2nd to Love In Spring and a form line can be taken back to Willow Creek and Eclair Mystic through that run putting Rekindled Interest in this with a very serious hope and currently trading at 16/1 it shapes as excellent value.
So back both IN FAITH (3 units @ 4/1) & REKINDLED INTEREST (1 unit @ 16/1) for a result across the race, confidence is good.
