Friday will see plenty of quality thoroughbred racing across the country with our focus being on the meeting at Moonee Valley in Victoria. Take a look at our horse racing tips and best bets for Friday 26th February, 2021.
Moonee Valley – Race 4 8:00PM AEST
BEST BET: No. 1 Sartorial Splendor – Bet Now: $3.70
Sartorial Splendor has won the Ladbrokes 55 Second Challenge at The Valley before and he will return to the races in a very winnable contest tonight.
He has scored two wins from his four previous race starts at The Valley and he does run well fresh as well.
Barrier three is ideal and he will make his own luck right on the speed.
Moonee Valley – Race 6 9:00PM AEST
No. 9 Comanche Brave – Bet Now: $3.80
Comanche Brave has recorded two wins from as many race starts and he is well-placed to continue his winning ways tonight.
The field he beat at Ladbrokes Park Sandown last start was stronger than what he will face in this contest and he has more upside than the majority of his rivals.
Beau Mertens will settle Comanche Brave right on the speed and he will give his rivals something to catch.
Moonee Valley – Race 7 9:30PM AEST
No. 1 Fanciful Toff – Bet Now: $5.50
Fanciful Toff has improved each time that he has been seen at the races this campaign and I think that he is ready to peak third-up.
He made up good ground late at The Valley last start to finish second and I don’t think that he will need to get as far back as he did last start.
Barrier three and he should have every possible chance in the run, while he should relish the step-up in trip.
Moonee Valley – Race 8 10:00PM AEST
No. 6 Zoushack – Bet Now: $2.45
Zoushack has always been a horse with plenty of ability and he has finally been able to deliver this campaign.
He has recorded two wins from his past three race starts and he beat a strong field to win at Flemington last start.
The Zoustar gelding will get a lovely trail into this race and if he can maintain his current form he should be right in the mix once again.
