2020 MOONEE VALLEY CUP – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Trap For Fools can lead with Hush Writer and we should see a true test over the trip. We saw the Bart Cummings form stand right up in the Geelong Cup and it looks like doing so again with SHARED AMBITION (4) the horse that really appeals. He has been a bit of a tease, and may be wearing thin with some punters, but he closed well at Flemington and the run over the trip can have him bang on to deliver now.

SOUND (7) ran really well in the same race. Had a charmed run but he's in terrific form this prep and looks sure to run well again. HUSH WRITER (2) will press forward into a great spot and he is going really well. Takes some pegging back. SELINO (10) is an interesting runner straight off the plane for Waller. Has some bits of form that give him a chance while GALLIC CHIEFTAIN (1) ran well last time and is building nicely towards a peak.
