Moment of Change was better suited under the conditions of weight for age racing; he was hard up against the rail leading all the way to win the Sportingbet C F Orr Stakes.

His immediate mission now is the Futurity Stakes over his pet distance of 1400 metres, to be decided on Saturday week. 

Moment of Change controlled the traffic from the outset, Cox Plate winner, Shamus Award, was never far away, at one stage he looked like bothering the winner but had enough when the home turn was reached.

The Orr success was the middle leg of a training treble for Peter Moody, after a leaner trot than expected 

He explained the stable has been beaten 10 times this season in Group 1 races, it can be frustrating, you just have to pick up the pieces and march on.

No firm decision has been reached whether Shamus Award will take on the three year olds in the Australian Guineas, or wait a further week and run in the Australian Cup.

Eurozone gave a good sight suggesting there is a nice race for him this preparation, there is a lot of upside to him, he is a winner of four of his six starts and will be greatly improved by the run, his first start since September.
