Moonee Valley Race 3 Preview & Tips Saturday 25 October 2025

24/10/2025|SB Staff|Horse Racing Tips
<p>Expert Simon Marshall is backing Tres Magnifique at $5.00 for Race 3 at Moonee Valley over 1200m, and the form analysis backs up his confidence. Mark Zahra takes the reins for the Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young stable in what shapes as a crucial test.</p> <p>The replay from Caulfield on October 11 tells the real story - Tres Magnifique was absolutely flying home once given room to move. After being stuck behind a wall of horses until the 200m mark, this runner switched across and hammered the line, finishing strongly alongside winner Point Barrow. That closing sectional suggests there's serious untapped potential here.</p> <p>Marshall's convinced that despite backing up from Friday night racing, Tres Magnifique can "run over the top of them" at Moonee Valley. The 1200m trip suits perfectly, and if Zahra can find the right position early, this could be the run where everything clicks.</p> <p><strong>Race Build-up:</strong> The $5.00 odds look generous given the hidden form line. Tres Magnifique's last start was all about bad luck rather than bad form - once clear, the acceleration was there for all to see.</p> <p>With the Busuttin-Young stable in solid form and Zahra's tactical nous, this represents genuine value in Saturday's feature sprint.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/australia-nz/moonee-valley/race-3-9759569">Markets available here.</a></p> <p>Odds subject to change.</p>
