Moree Racing Tips: Can Puissance Power Complete the Job?
Puissance Power has been building toward this for three runs — placed, placed, then finally a win last start — and today’s step up to the Zone Showcase Plate over 1750m looks like the logical next chapter rather than a stretch. That’s the standout angle on a tidy four-race Moree card, but it’s far from the only one. Maiden and Class 1 grades dominate the day, which means most of these fields are still finding their level, and that makes the small print — barriers, recent placings, who’s riding for whom — matter more than usual. These Moree racing tips work through all four races, weigh up which of today’s placegetters are actually building toward a win and which are just filling minor money, and land on a best bet, a value play and an each-way option for anyone working the card from home. No early market had been posted for this meeting at the time of writing, so the reasoning below leans on form, not price.
What today’s Moree form actually tells us

Course form itself is thin across the board today. Not one of the 56 runners across the four races arrives with more than two runs at Moree, so a horse table here would be six rows of one-run trivia dressed up as insight — better to skip it and say plainly: limited course form across today’s fields, most runners have one or two starts here at best.
The jockey and trainer boards are worth a proper look, though, because several combatants have built up real volume at this track over time.
| Jockey | Runs | Wins | Places | Win% | Place% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacob Stiff | 15 | 3 | 10 | 20.0% | 66.7% |
| B Looker | 17 | 4 | 9 | 23.5% | 52.9% |
| MS M Weir | 17 | 3 | 7 | 17.6% | 41.2% |
| J Pracey-Holmes | 13 | 2 | 5 | 15.4% | 38.5% |
| Izzy Neale | 8 | 2 | 2 | 25.0% | 25.0% |
| Clayton Gallagher | 8 | 0 | 2 | 0.0% | 25.0% |
| Kody Nestor | 6 | 1 | 1 | 16.7% | 16.7% |
B Looker rides the most winners of anyone at the track from a genuine sample — 4 wins and 9 placings from 17 rides — while Jacob Stiff hits the frame two-thirds of the time he rides here. Both are engaged today.
| Trainer | Runs | Wins | Places | Win% | Place% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Melissa Dennett | 6 | 1 | 4 | 16.7% | 66.7% |
| Connie Greig | 8 | 1 | 5 | 12.5% | 62.5% |
| Sally Torrens | 14 | 2 | 7 | 14.3% | 50.0% |
| Stirling Osland | 7 | 2 | 3 | 28.6% | 42.9% |
| Colt Prosser | 8 | 2 | 2 | 25.0% | 25.0% |
| MS S Grills | 7 | 1 | 1 | 14.3% | 14.3% |
| Ridge Wilson | 10 | 1 | 1 | 10.0% | 10.0% |
Connie Greig places six or seven out of every ten runners she brings to Moree — that’s eight runs of evidence, not a two-run fluke — and she’s the busiest trainer at the meeting today with four runners spread across all four races. Worth tracking every time she saddles up here.
Field sizes are the other thing shaping today’s card. Race 1 and Race 4 both carry big fields — eighteen and sixteen runners respectively — which means barriers matter more than they would in a small country field, and a wide gate is a genuine excuse rather than a throwaway line. Weights are tightly bunched across the board too, so this is a card where recent form and the map count for more than the handicapper’s numbers.
Race by race
Race 1: Boland Petroleum Super Mdn Showcase Plate — 12:45, 1039m
Fratianno has been knocking without opening the door — three runs, three placings this campaign, a 2-2-3 line that reads like a horse waiting on the right map rather than one short of ability. Colt Prosser’s runner drew barrier 3 in an eighteen-horse field, which at 1039m should mean a clear passage through midfield rather than the wide trip that wrecks these sprint maidens, and B Looker takes the ride — the most productive jockey at today’s meeting on a real sample.
Tampa Bay is the one to watch behind him. Connie Greig’s runner has placed in all four runs this campaign without quite breaking through, and Greig is the trainer to note today off that 62.5% Moree place rate. Best Defence carries topweight off a flat effort last start and looks the type more likely to be run down late than to hold out others.
Crime Of Passion is the other one with a form line worth a glance — a rough run before a much-improved third last start — and could sneak into the money if the pace collapses late, but the profile reads more placegetter than winner in this field. Win bet on Fratianno, with Tampa Bay the each-way thought if the market drifts him.
Race 2: Buy Your Kosciusko Tickets Country Boosted Mdn Showcase Hcp — 13:20, 1531m
Is anyone in this maiden handicap actually building toward a win, or just conga-lining minor money? Honestly, it’s hard to have a confident view. Nortoko has managed a placing from two runs this campaign and gives Bill Hayes two chances in the race alongside Encampment, but neither looks the type to run clear of an even field. Tralee has placed in two of its last three starts and gets some each-way thought purely on volume.
If forced, Nortoko as the stronger of the two Hayes runners, but this is a watch race rather than one to back with confidence. Save your money for the races either side of it.
Race 3: North West Events and SG O’Hara Furniture Zone Showcase Plate (C1) — 13:55, 1750m
M R Mulholland doesn’t need two runners in an eleven-horse field unless he rates his stable’s chances here, and the form backs him up. Puissance Power has been the more progressive of his pair — placed, placed, then a win last start, a line that’s still pointing up rather than levelling off — and the step to 1750m in this Class 1 looks a natural progression rather than a stretch. Barrier 3 keeps things simple: no wide trip, no traffic excuse if it doesn’t work out. This is the best win chance on the card and the standout bet of the four races.

Sammaan City is the other Mulholland runner, without anything like the same recent spark, so reading this stable really means reading Puissance Power alone. Nielsen Park is the more interesting danger — a win and three placings from four runs this campaign is a genuinely useful record, though the most recent outing was the one blip in an otherwise tidy prep, so there’s a real question over whether that was a rare off day or the start of a slide. Broadcast Boogie keeps knocking too, minor money in half its runs recently without getting home, and looks the type that needs the leaders to stop rather than one that can go and beat them.
This is the best bet of the day. Win bet on Puissance Power, with Nielsen Park the each-way saver if you want to cover the risk that last start wasn’t just a blip.
Race 4: Campbells Fuel and McGregor Gourlay Country Boosted Showcase Hcp (C1) — 14:30, 1312m
Marinera grinds; The Drafter’s been finishing races off. Different profiles, and in the biggest field of the day — sixteen runners — that contrast could decide where the money goes. Marinera won two runs back before a flat effort last start, drawn a touch wide in barrier 13, and the form suggests she’s better than that most recent run but needs it forgiven rather than repeated. The Drafter has strung together back-to-back placings, runner-up then third across its last two starts, and a soft-ish barrier 9 draw in a big field means it shouldn’t be too far from the pace without doing extra work to get there.
Chasing Quivers is the interesting wildcard. It actually has course form worth noting — a win and a placing from two runs at Moree — but the recent figures have gone the other way, with nothing better than midfield across its last five runs anywhere. That course history on its own isn’t enough to trust today.
The Drafter to run a place is the safer read on current form; treat Marinera as the each-way risk if barrier 13 doesn’t cost her too much ground early.
Where the money goes
No official market had gone up for this meeting by the time this was written, so every read below is form-based, not price-based.
NAP: Puissance Power (Race 3, 13:55) — three runs this prep and the finishing positions have only moved one way: placed, placed, win. Odds not available at time of writing.
Value: The Drafter (Race 4, 14:30) — back-to-back placings in the biggest field of the day, easy to overlook because of the field size rather than the form. Odds not available at time of writing.
Banker: Fratianno (Race 1, 12:45) — placed in all three runs this prep, drawn to get the run, and ridden by the busiest, best-strike-rate jockey at the meeting.
Each-way: Nielsen Park (Race 3, 13:55) — a win and three placings from four runs is the best recent strike rate on the card, even after last start’s blip.
Course angle: Connie Greig, who has placed 62.5% of her runners at Moree from a genuine eight-run sample and fields four runners across today’s card.
If Greig keeps sending this many runners here at this rate, she’ll be the standing Moree angle worth following all season.
