MOON BAY hasn’t been beaten far in any of her four runs so far this term and none of her rivals can match that consistency. She did finish behind Cobra Kai at Newcastle last month but was far too keen on that occasion. Rum Going On arguably has most scope of the remainder but that’s not saying much. Act Of Passion did win at Redcar last year but that was only a seller.
