Mystery Lad won at a big price on debut at Tamworth and he is a gelding that clearly has some upside.
This race is tougher again, but there are no stars in this field and he has more upside than most.
Barrier seven suits and the step-up to 1200 metres shouldn’t be an issue.
Fornite is deserving of his status as a clear favourite in the Moree Town Plate.
He has recorded two wins from his past three race starts and he has an excellent record over these shortcourse sprints.
Barrier three is perfect and he will make his own luck right on the speed.
Silent General is the value runner in what is a very open contest.
He returned to the races with a credible fourth place finish at Muswellbrook and he should take good improvement from that performance.
Luck in running will be key in this race and he should have every possible chance with Ashley Morgan in the saddle.
Rich And Shameless can make it back-to-back wins in the Moree Cup.
There was a lot to like about the way he put away his rivals at Mudgee last start and this race isn’t that much tougher.
He is a deserving favourite.
