Peter Moody enjoyed a winning night at Moonee Valley with three winners, headed by Black Caviar in the Gr 2 Essendon Mazda Australia Stakes (1200m) and Power O’Raylee (4 m O’Reilly - La Banca, by Grosvenor) who made it five wins in succession when running out the 4 length winner of the $100,000 Sportingbet Carlyon Classic (2040m).

Power O’Raylee ran to the front into the home straight and she was clear, winning eased down by Luke Nolen to defeat Our Serene (Fantastic Light) comfortably with Winged Charm (Hawk Wing) a further 1 1/4 lengths back third.

“She’s done a fantastic job this mare,” Moody said. “Everything we’ve asked of her this time in she’s answered and just kept stepping up. I thought she had had enough after her last win at Flemington but this was a $100,000 race and they don’t come along too often.”

Power O’Raylee was one of two winners on the night for O’Reilly following the win of Rollerball (3 g O’Reilly - Dehere Today, by Dehere) who won the opening race, the $50,000 Mitchelton Wines Handicap (72) over 1600m.
