Testament to the prestige of the race card at the Valley on Saturday is the prize money across all of the races, with A$150,000 on the line in the Super Vobis Handicap in Race 3.
Super Vobis Handicap
In a race for 3-year-olds only, the Super Vobis Handicap at The Valley houses some of the most exciting horses in the country currently. Having such lightly raced horses always poses a question mark for betting apps but there is some very established pedigree here at Moonee Valley and this should be an enthralling race.
Topping the betting is Robrick, a horse that has always been earmarked for the very top. Winning over 1410m at Flemington at the start of August looked to be a sign of things to come and it should be firmly in the mix here at $2.60 with Playup.
As is often the way in races pitched for younger horses, that there are plenty of rough diamonds who could come good at any time and Fistsoffury is one of them. Another horse with solid wins in the book, conditions should suit here at The Valley, and it should be there or thereabouts at $4.50 with Bet365.
The unknown of a race for 3-year olds is underlined by the next horse in the betting, with El Poder Del Sol looking to be the relative enigma in this race. Finishing 4th at Flemington in its only showing doesn’t give punters much to go off but it is certainly one to keep an eye on in the markets at $5.50 with Punterspal.
Elsewhere, Riproar looks to be a horse more than capable of mixing it at this level and it represents decent value at $6.00 with Playup.
