Verdict

The $160,000 Mooloolaba Cup. WALSH BAY (6) is racing in a rich vein of form stringing five wins together on the bounce with Thornton being in the stirrups for four of those victories. Hard to knock mares in form and can add to the picket fence here. VICTORY WIN (7) has won three from three around this circuit and will be high on confidence following back-to-back wins. Expected to play a major role in the outcome. YET HE MOVES (12) has hit the top-five in all six runs this campaign and must be respected out of the champion Waller yard. Top-three credentials. KEITEL (13) is one from one at this track and maps well for Brooker from gate three. In the mix. VIMINELE (11) next in line.
