After scoring Adelaide’s premier sprint The Goodwood 12 months ago with his flawless turf queen Black Caviar, Victoria’s leading trainer Peter Moody returns to Morphettville this weekend aiming for another win in the autumn classic with Moment Of Change.
Running as Race 7 at 4:05pm (local time) this Saturday, the $500,000 Group 1 The Distinctive Homes Goodwood (1200m) originally drew 18 acceptors for the 2013 edition.
The field however is down to 17 with the early scratching of #9 Shellscrape.
Latest The Goodwood odds are led by Moody’s Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes winner Moment Of Change who pays $2.10 to secure their second Group 1 victory.
The Barley A Moment four-year-old had two good runs earlier this prep when second in both the Lighting Stakes to Black Caviar and the Newmarket Handicap to Shamexpress, but failed to continue the good form last start when dead last behind Pierro in the Canterbury Stakes on March 23.
Ready to bounce back here Moment Of Change is now in barrier five for The Goodwood, but can they overcome their 58.5kg topweight and poor last start to win?
Moody certainly believes so.
“He’s just done super since he failed in Sydney,” the master trainer said.
“I know he’s done half of his racing in Sydney but I think that he is far more effective this way of going.
“He showed with a big weight and being left in front so far from home in the Newmarket that he is a great sprinter.
“Moment of Change has a great record in Group 1 races and since he’s been back from Sydney we have been pleased with him.
“I took him to Sandown to trial and he went super and that made our minds up for us to push on to South Australia.”
