Best Bet Mooney Valley r7 Black Heart Bart; The WFA conditions of the Group 2 Australia Stakes makes it very hard to go past the WA champ. Flies fresh including a nose 2nd in a Newmarket Handicap and has impressive distance stats of 7 goes for 4,2,0. One knock is he is yet to be proven at track with his only start a last in the Cox Plate but this is a completely different race. There looks to be enough speed on to swoop if they can make ground. Big strong weight carrier, multiple group one winner, meeting rivals at equal weights.
Gloucester Park r3 Ideal Alice; Has the gate speed to overcome tricky draw and is always extremely hard to beat back in mares company.
