Moonee Valley   21 Feb 2025
 
GOING: G

The EDSA Group Valley Summer Middle Distance Series Heat 5 1600m

Track: Good 3   Clear (Max: 31)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Our Queen, The Marg Factor and Delicious Tycoon can set the pace. OUR QUEEN (8) is unbeaten from two starts to date, resuming from a spell as a $1.80 favourite and running on well to score in this grade at Sandown Lakeside over 1400m. She should only continue to improve with more racing and getting to 1600m. Might just be too good for these. DELICIOUS TYCOON (2) is racing well without winning, again just run down late here last time out. She'll be on speed and giving a sight again. CHARMING DEEL (4) has won two of her past three, winning narrowly here last start. Slightly tricky inside draw but if the gaps come she should be in the finish. THE MARG FACTOR (10) can give some cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Queen to win.
