Moher should be recording his first career win at start number three in the Royal Hotel Handicap at Seymour on Wednesday.

The John O’Shea-trained colt has placed in each of his career starts to date, the latest when third at Pakenham over 1200m.

Moher as prominent throughout and chased hard in the straight to finished three-quarter lengths off the winner My Poppette.

My Poppette was last seen finishing second in her latest outing at Flemington and runner up Petracca also finished second the following start at Morphettville.

It is shaping as a strong form race and Moher can further frank the form at Seymour on Wednesday.

The son of Lonhro boasts form, fitness and race experience over a majority of his rivals in Race 2 at Seymour.

From an inside barrier, Moher should take up a prominent position and really should take a power of beating when looking at the disclosed form of his opposition.

Weight adjusted 50 day Timeform ratings suggest Moher has plenty on his opposition here.

Maxie’s Blue Girl showed good improvement on her debut when fifth at Warrnambool last start.

The well bred filly is likely to appreciate the step up to seven furlongs and Craig Williams riding is another positive lead.

Emperor Maximilian came out of the same race as Moher last start and after a slow getaway, was making late ground.

The colt will strip fitter second up and improvement is largely expected.

Stablemate Dunluce shapes as another who can build on his latest showing.

Three in the contest make their raceday debuts and a market watch is advised on the trio.

That being said, they don’t profile as likely winners.

Moher ticks all the right boxes heading into the Royal Hotel 2YO Handicap (1400m) at Seymour and the $3.00 about the colt as of Wednesday morning definitely has appeal.
