HAIL CEASAR!

Ceasar and Sigourney are our representatives at Moonee Valley on Christmas eve.

Ceasar (pictured) runs in race seven over 1600 metres with John Allen riding and Mike Moroney says is ready to win.

“I’d like to think he’s ready to win after two solid runs this time in,” Mike said.

“The favourite Riverplate is the obvious one to beat but I’m happy with our horse, he’s nice and fit now and the distance suits.

“Drawing barrier one is a bit awkward and it’s his first time at Moonee Valley but it’s not a big field and John has won on this horse before so I’ll leave it up to him.”

Sigourney is the first to go in the second race over 1600 metres with Jordan Childs to ride.

“I will be honest and say she disappointed first-up at Geelong when we expected her to run better than she did,” Mike said.

“Today is obviously a step up in grade but she’s done well and trained on nicely.

“The barrier is tricky - it’s a race that does not look to have a lot of speed in it so there is a risk of her getting caught wide but we’ll leave that up to Jordan.”
