Overview
Makdane has banked $126,500 from just three runs in the past 90 days, and on Sunday it lines up in the Ladbrokes Moe Cup over 2050m with a win in its most recent start. No other horse in the Cup comes close to that kind of recent earning power, and that is where these Moe racing tips start.
The bigger story for the whole day is a stable and rider combination. Gavin Bedggood has won five of his eight starters at Moe, and J Mott has ridden five winners from 12 rides here. Mott rides for Bedggood in each of the first two races, on Ballsintheair and Fear The Impact, then again on Albany Road in Race 5. Elsewhere, Hedjet arrives with two wins and four placings from four recent runs, and Ginger Sweet has run second in each of its last three.
Nine races on a Good turf track, first jump 12:35PM and the Cup at 4:40PM. Early markets are up for the first three races only, so the later races are read on form. We go race by race, then narrow it to five plays.
What Moe gives us today
Course form across the fields is thin. A handful of runners have three or four starts here, and none of them has won at Moe. Overpriced is the best of the horses with a real sample, placed in all three visits with one win.

Trainers at Moe (5+ runners)
| Trainer | Runs | Wins | Places | Win% | Place% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charlotte Littlefield | 6 | 1 | 6 | 17% | 100% |
| Gavin Bedggood | 8 | 5 | 6 | 63% | 75% |
| Rachael Cunningham | 7 | 1 | 5 | 14% | 71% |
| M C Kent | 6 | 2 | 4 | 33% | 67% |
| E Jusufovic | 8 | 3 | 5 | 38% | 63% |
| A & S Freedman | 13 | 3 | 8 | 23% | 62% |
| M Price & M Kent Jnr | 11 | 5 | 6 | 45% | 55% |
Two numbers jump out. Bedggood wins with almost two in every three runners he brings to Moe, and Mott wins better than four in ten of his rides here. They have teamed up at this track only once, on 24 September, and won. The other volume angle is M Price & M Kent Jnr, five winners from 11 starters, with runners in the first and third. Charlotte Littlefield has put all six of her Moe runners in the first three, which matters for Nautique and Yes Yoshi.

Moe racing tips: race by race
Race 1: Tm&H Mitre 10 Mdn Plate, 12:35PM, 1100m
Nautique has had three starts and finished seventh, fourth and fourth, which is not flashy, but it is the most race experience in a field of three-year-old maidens. Damian Lane takes the ride from barrier 4, and the stable carries a quiet edge: Charlotte Littlefield has placed with every runner she has sent to Moe. At $3.80 with Unibet it is the favourite, and it should be.
Marbles is the danger at $4.00 with Unibet. It ran fifth on debut, and M Price & M Kent Jnr win with nearly half their Moe runners. Ballsintheair is the unraced Bedggood runner with Mott aboard, $8.00 with Unibet, and that booking alone keeps it in the conversation. Chantess ran fourth on debut and draws the rail.
Win bet on Nautique, small saver on Ballsintheair.
Race 2: Law Somerville Industries Mdn Plate, 1:05PM, 1100m
Where does the market have this wrong? Blue Light Disco is $2.70 with Unibet on the back of a 5-3-2-2 form line, but it jumps from barrier 17 in a big maiden. Bemm River, $3.30 with Unibet, has run second in its last two and draws gate 2. Same profile, much kinder run. Bemm River is the pick.
Weasel Sea is the reliable placegetter, three placings from four runs in the past 90 days and $6.50 with Bet Right. The one we like at a price is Fear The Impact, $9.00 with Unibet. Its last four read 2-6-4-3, Bedggood trains it and Mott rides it. That is the strongest trainer and jockey at the track on a horse that has finished fourth or better in three of those four.
Win on Bemm River. Each-way on Fear The Impact.
Race 3: Clearview Radiology Mdn Plate, 1:40PM, 1600m
Open Fire is the $2.90 favourite with Unibet, and the case is mostly about who is behind it: M Price & M Kent Jnr and Damian Lane. The horse itself has not placed in three runs over the past 90 days, averaging fifth. Lane has also ridden 16 times for the stable since the start of 2025 for six placings and no wins. Short odds, soft form.
Zeffirelli is $3.80 with Bet Right despite finishing seventh and then down the track twice. Levent, $6.50 with Unibet, has a second among its last four starts and gets Mott. Chronic is the horse with Moe form, placed twice from three starts here, and it sits at $13.00 with Unibet with B Rawiller riding.
Hard to love anything. Small each-way on Chronic, and Levent in the exacta. No win bet on Open Fire at the price.
Race 4: Nextra Moe (Bm70), 2:15PM, 1600m
Hedjet has been in the first three in all four of its recent runs, won two of them and collected $58,025. Its form line reads 2-1-4-1, so it comes here off a win. Damian Lane rides for C W Mcdonald from barrier 3, a draw that lets him take whatever spot he wants. This is the most reliable horse on the card.
Overpriced is the danger. It has placed in all three Moe starts, won one, and has two wins from five runs in the past 90 days. The worry is its last start, an eighth. Octane Reign has also won two of its last five for Mott. No market yet.
Win bet on Hedjet, and the banker for any multi.
Race 5: Bottlemart Moe (Bm66), 2:50PM, 1200m
King West won its only start at Moe, and its last five runs read four placings and a win. That consistency is the whole case. E Jusufovic has won three of eight at this track, and Patrick Moloney rides from barrier 6.
Siriusly Bright is the threat. It has won its last two (form 6-2-1-1) and carries the lightest weight in the race with Chelsea Thompson, who has hit the frame on four of her five Moe rides. Hustle In Heels won its only run in the past 90 days, worth $22,000, and Yes Yoshi represents the Littlefield stable.
Each-way on King West. Siriusly Bright in the quinella.
Race 6: Moe Optical (Bm66), 3:25PM, 1000m
Two horses, two profiles. Weapon Clear won one of its two runs this spring and has earned $25,000 doing it, with a 1-3-5-1-4 shape in its last five. Do It Now has won two of its last four but finished fifth last time. Over 1000m, early speed from the inside draws matters, and Weapon Clear jumps from barrier 3 with Caitlin Hollowood.
Do It Now is the main danger for Luke Oliver, with Damien Thornton riding. Mckeyla ran second in its only start of the past 90 days and gets in light. Purple Streak placed at its one recent run for Lane.
Win on Weapon Clear, saver on Do It Now. Race 6 opens the quaddie.
Race 7: Bidfood Hcp (62), 4:00PM, 1600m
Girt By Sea has had only two runs in the past 90 days, won one and placed in the other, and comes through with a 2-1 form line. Lightly raced horses that keep improving are what you want in a Benchmark 62, and M W Walker has placed with two of his three Moe runners. Thomas Stockdale rides from barrier 12.
Celestial Option won last start and has a win from two recent runs worth $18,725. Who I Think I Am has been steady, two placings and a win from four, but was sixth last time. Duke Of Clarence finished 2-1-4 in its last three.
Win on Girt By Sea. Celestial Option the danger.
Race 8: Ladbrokes Moe Cup, 4:40PM, 2050m
M C Kent does not usually send a horse to a country cup without a reason, and Makdane has given plenty of reasons lately. It won its latest start, has a win and two placings from three runs since mid-August and has earned $126,500 across them. That is more than double any other horse in this field over the same period. Kent has won two and placed with four of his six Moe runners.
M J Dee rides from barrier 7 in a field of ten. Smokin’ Romans has top weight and has not placed in three recent runs, so the weight-for-form equation favours the horses further down the handicap. Makdane only has to stay handy and run the 2050m out, which its recent form says it can.
Magnaspin is the danger. It has placed in all three runs in the past 90 days, banked $54,000 and was third last start, though it has not won in that stretch. The Pendragon, with Mott, won one and placed in two of its three recent runs, but finished seventh last time. Bring Forth went 2-1-1 before two unplaced runs and a third.
Makdane to win. Exacta with Magnaspin and The Pendragon underneath. No market yet, so take a price when it opens rather than wait for the jump.
Race 9: Trfm Hcp (66), 5:20PM, 2050m
Is Ginger Sweet ready to win one? Its last three starts were all seconds, and it placed in its only Moe start. It carries the lightest weight in the field with Sam Kennedy, who wins almost a quarter of his rides here, and it jumps from barrier 1. Three straight seconds can frustrate, but the profile is a horse that is close.
Aka Daka is the main danger. It won one and placed in three of its last five and has earned $42,240 in that stretch. Larryoctane placed in three of four recent runs, though only once in four Moe starts.
Each-way on Ginger Sweet. Last leg of the quaddie, so take Ginger Sweet and Aka Daka.

Where the money goes
NAP: Makdane (Race 8, 4:40PM). The richest recent form in the Cup by some margin, off a win, for a trainer who places two in three of his Moe runners.
Value: Fear The Impact (Race 2, 1:05PM). $9.00 with Unibet for a horse that has finished fourth or better in three of its last four, with the best trainer and rider at the track.
Banker: Hedjet (Race 4, 2:15PM). Four recent runs, four placings and two wins. Nothing in the Benchmark 70 matches that reliability.
Each-way: Ginger Sweet (Race 9, 5:20PM). Three straight seconds, the bottom weight and the inside gate. The place is close to safe, and the win is coming.
Course angle: Bedggood and Mott. Five wins from eight runners for the trainer, five from 12 rides for the jockey, and Ballsintheair, Fear The Impact and Albany Road put them together three times today.
If Bedggood keeps striking at this rate, every Moe card from here on starts with his acceptances.
