CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME DON CASBOULT CHAIRMAN In the $350,000 race six feature, the unbeaten Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained Marabi is sure to go around a short-priced favourite. However, she will have good company with The Astrologist, Sinawann, Streets Of Avalon and Wild Planet looming as valid dangers. After the race, our MC for the day, Pete Lazer will introduce the Mayor of Moonee Valley City Council, Councillor Samantha Byrne to provide the Acknowledgement of Country. Among many other racing highlights on the card is the Chandler McLeod VOBIS Gold Carat worth $175,000 for the three-year-olds. Last year the Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained Yulong Command was a stylish winner of the race, and he has proven himself a Valley specialist winning twice here since then with victory again last weekend. Will this year’s race unveil a new future star?
