ANOTHER DAY NIGHT DOUBLE ON FRIDAY

Day and night runners for us again today with Johnny Thunder at Kyneton followed by Old Time Rock at Moonee Valley.

Johnny Thunder is in race one, the 3YO Maiden Plate over 1200m, jumping from the outside in a field of nine with Jake Noonan in the saddle.

“The barrier is not ideal but when we looked at the form of the opposition we thought it looked a winnable race,” Moroney said.

“I won’t be giving Jake any set instructions, if he flies the gates he should be able to lead them but we’ll leave it up to Jake and as I say, although the barrier is a bit sticky it does look a winnable race for him.”

Old Time Rock (pictured) runs in race one at the Valley, the three-year-old benchmark 64 handicap over 1200m with Luke Currie to ride from barrier seven after scratchings.

The son of Pride Of Dubai finished fourth over 1200m at Moonee Valley last time out and Moroney is expecting another solid showing.

“He’s another one that has drawn awkwardly but he looks terrific and this will do him for the preparation,” Moroney said.

“He’ll need some luck and would be better suited if there was some give in the track but he’s going well and deserves his place in the field.

“It’s a decent enough race but with luck I think he’s an each-way chance.”
