We have Ladbrokes Moonee Valley Gold Cup tips and predictions for the Group 2 2500m race at Flemington on Saturday.
Moonee Valley Gold Cup odds have an even betting field, as the winner looks to secure a spot in the Melbourne Cup on November 3.
PINHOLE (7) looks a major contender in the Ladbrokes Moonee Valley Gold Cup after putting together an impressive run of results this preparation.
The Chris Waller-trained stayer has won his past two starts, including a strong victory in the Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes over 2400m at Caulfield.
That latest performance showed he has the stamina to handle a staying test, and the step up to 2500m looks suitable given the way he has been finishing his races.
Having James McDonald riding is a positive, and he got the best out of him last start in a close finish. He’ll get into the middle of the track and sprint late, so he goes on top in Moonee Valley Gold Cup predictions.

JUJA KIBO (16) is impossible to overlook in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup after scoring an impressive victory in the Group 1 The Metropolitan over 2400m at Randwick.
The Ciaron Maher-trained stayer has been building nicely throughout the spring, and his latest win showed he can sustain a strong gallop over a staying distance. He fought hard to get the job done in a competitive field, suggesting the extra 100m at Flemington should be within his ability.
Sam Clipperton takes the ride from barrier 16, which is a significant challenge. He’ll need to find cover early, but he’s a classy animal, and if luck goes his way, he should fight out the finish for his spot in the Melbourne Cup field.

FUTURE HISTORY (14) looks an appealing option at double-figure odds in our Moonee Valley Gold Cup tips. The Gregory Hickman-trained stayer has plenty of experience at staying distances and has been racing consistently, with his recent fourth at Caulfield over 2400m being a good betting guide.
That latest effort suggests he can be competitive in this field, and he doesn’t need to improve too much to start winning races. He’s always around the mark without winning, but this is an open field, and his experience at Flemington is a positive.
He might be being overlooked, but our Moonee Valley Gold Cup predictions are happy to include him at the odds. We priced him at around $13, so the $23 odds at time of publish are too good to pass up this week.
