Another two winners for our market movers with both Point King and Mr Brightside getting hammered in the betting, before duly saluting in style.
The early money targeting opening prices is flowing strongly this week, providing an excellent lead to the chances of key runners.
At Caulfield, a stable switch for a star Queensland galloper looks ominous, with the Moody yard entrusted with her future care and no doubt highly motivated to impress!
Whilst at Randwick Tommy Berry jumps aboard a country visitor, which is a typical recipe for success.

Shahzad
Interesting runner subject to a significant long price move, after opening at the huge price of $71.
He is a French import and they do have the potential to fly fresh at their debut Australian run.
He did look well over the odds considering the strength of the French form and is likely to acquit himself well here, for a stable that will be desperate to show the influential ownership group a result!
Silmarillion
One of Godolphin’s better 3yo fillies, where they have plenty to choose from and arrive here with a good one.
She was excellent winning the Atlantic Jewel Stakes at Moonee Valley last start, when jumped favourite ($2.50) following strong market support throughout betting.
She may have improved again off the last start outing and looks well-suited with a step up in distance to 1400m here.
Chinny Boom
Highly regarded Queensland star who has been switched to the Moody/Coleman yard and given a chance to raid the rich Melbourne Spring prizemoney.
Although this is much deeper than what she has recently faced, the stable is highly motivated to prove the change of trainer is a good decision.
Moody and Kathrine would have taken extra care with this one and should have her primed right up to run a huge race here on debut for their yard.
Red Card
Sharp Godolphin sprinting mare who resumed well first-up at Randwick, when beaten by the A-Graders (Bella Nipotina).
This looks like a much easier assignment dropping back from Randwick Group 2 level to a restricted Mares open event at Caulfield!
Mark Zahra is booked and given any luck and a fair track, I would expect her to be winning.
Kreon
When Tommy Berry is booked on one for the country trainers, it often pays to follow.
He was ultra dominant last start at Goulburn winning by 5 lengths and deserves another trip to town to tackle city highway grade.
The stable has become very astute at knowing the right horse to bring to town for this level of race and he will arrive in perfect order and be in the finish.
Well-Timed
Has been very well-backed all preparation and with fitness building appears well-suited by the step up to 1400m here.
He had excuses last start when drew wide and was hampered shortly after they jumped, and from a low draw here (gate 4) he can atone.
With a hungry Nash Rawiller sticking and keen after relinquishing a few good rides on the day due to weight limitations, expect the rider to give this every chance.
I Am Me
Reeled off some excellent closing sections in the impressive win here last start and although he did have the gun run, the clock still backed up the performance.
I believe they are still hunting an elusive Everest invite, hence will be put into the race again here in an attempt to impress.
J Mac takes over from Nash which is interesting, however this is weight-related and of no concern.
Moravia
Quality galloper who has Group 1 credentials and drops way down in grade here for the second-up assignment.
He hasn’t seen a weak field like this for a long time and finally gets his chance after a frustrating career where early on he was touted as a genuine stallion prospect, and did contest a Coolmore Stud Stakes last Spring.
The J Mac booking is a big upgrade, and the horse could be showing them plenty at home to suggest a peak run here!
