Numbers give Moody base for more success

Thursday 21 May 2015, 2:45pm

Peter Moody has 11 acceptors spread across eight of the nine Flemington races as tries to continue a golden run for his high-powered stable on Saturday.

Moody's haul since the start of the month includes seven city winners and a Group One Goodwood triumph with Flamberge in Adelaide.

He will head to Doomben on Saturday where he will saddle Bring Me The Maid in the Doomben 10,000, but he also has runners at Randwick and Morphettville.

Moody's Flemington team includes Sino Eagle, a $9 equal second favourite behind odds-on favourite Lumosty in The Straight Six as well as stayers Ancient King and Vatuvei in the Andrew Ramsden Stakes.

Sino Eagle, a winner over The Straight Six course and distance in March, was withdrawn at the barriers from the Wangoom Handicap at Warrnambool but has had a Cranbourne barrier trial.

"She's getting a bit silly as she gets older but we've trialled her since and she's in good shape and should run well if she behaves herself," Moody said.

Moody said Ancient King and Vatuvei would be suited racing at 3200m despite their rating as outsiders.

An Italian Derby placegetter, Ancient King is having his fourth run back while Vatuvei, second in the race last year to Unchain My Heart, lost his rider at Warrnambool when making his hurdle debut.

"They both appreciate a little bit of give which hopefully we'll have on Saturday and are out to their right trip, so hopefully they'll run well," he said.

Two of his winners from the Flemington meeting on May 9 will be back in action on Saturday.

Kenjorwood and Running Bull are both favourites to win their races.
