Moonee Valley is the place to be if you follow the Price/Kent stable with their strongest gallopers heading to Melbourne on Saturday.
The stable also saddles-up a contingent of runners at Morphettville in Adelaide but the stable’s happy hunting ground will be at The Valley.
Best Bet
Moonee Valley (Saturday)
Race 2, 1000m
Spicy Margs ($7.00, $2.50)
She is going super.
I hope she gets a nice run in the race, she led in the 1100m, drawn a good gate.
Now she’s drawn a bad gate and gone back to 1000m.
She has a great turn of foot if she’s not involved in the early push in this race.
Tip: Win

Top Tips
Moonee Valley (Saturday)
Race 1, 1000m
Hedged ($4.80, $1.80)
Hedged ($4.80, $1.80) is flying, forget his first run, he was a colt then, he’s a gelding now.
His trial here, if you have a look at it, you will see how much he has improved.
So, I’m not underestimating Hedged.
I think he’ll go super.
Tip: Win
Race 3, 1600m
Sacred Bull ($9.00, $2.80)
With 54kg, I think there’s enough speed on, I think there’s three horses leading out Affordable ($15.00) in 12 for D Oliver, who usually goes forward.
I think a big jump in grade for Sacred Bull ($9.00, $2.80) but he’s some each-way chance.
A tenacious type of horse and he’s lightly-raced.
Tip: Each-Way
"The Bull has rounded them up in a stride!"

Moonee Valley (Saturday)
Race 4, 2040m
Frankly Elegant ($26.00, $6.50)
I think she’ll go good, she’s a beautiful staying filly that will take a forward position expecially with Froggy on.
Froggy will be riding for his five tadpoles he’s got to pay up for though.
Tip: Win
"They're swooping..."

Moonee Valley (Saturday)
Race 7, 1600m
French Emperor ($7.00, $2.50)
2nd emergency.
Whenever this horse is exposed with no cover, he doesn’t finish off.
When he’s covered up from a good gate, he can finish off.
Tip: Win
French Emperor finds the line nicely to earn back-to-back victories 🔥@MickPriceRacing @MichaelRhysKent @jamieleekah07 pic.twitter.com/dEiaM2gxY1

Moonee Valley (Saturday)
Race 9, 1200m
Deprivation ($4.40, $1.85)
Look he’s got a little bruise on his foot, I’m not sure whether he’s running or not, we’ll make a decision on Saturday morning.
It does go good first-up, but just have to make sure it’s 100 per cent, so I’m not sure he’ll be running.
Tip: Win
Deprivation wasn't letting that one slip 😤@MickPriceRacing @pattymoloney pic.twitter.com/GzQEXcOeI2

Morphettville (Saturday)
Race 8, 1050m
Outback Miss ($3.30, $1.45)
Outback Miss ($3.30, $1.45) has drawn a very bad gate and will get back and get off the speed and will need a bit of luck.
Tip: Win
The favourite, Outback Miss, wins the first race back at Caulfield 💪 @MickPriceRacing @blake_shinn pic.twitter.com/rDkWA1ulr9
