Moir Stakes to determine who takes the mantle of the nations top sprinter Queensland star Buffering will be attempting to finally break his duck at Group 1 level at Moonee Valley tomorrow night. THE title of Australias premier sprinter is up for grabs in the post-Black Caviar era in tomorrow nights Group 1 Moir Stakes at Moonee Valley. In the mix will be Bel Sprinter, Buffering, Epaulette, Moment Of Change, Snitzerland and Samaready - all sprinters with claims to the crown. Jason Warren, trainer of Bel Sprinter, said the 10-horse field for the 1200m race was much stronger than he had anticipated, as it was likely to be the same sprinters, along with Hong Kong champion Lucky Nine, that fight out the Group 1 Manikato Stakes at the Valley on October 25. "This should be the start of a super sprinting spring and we'll know just where they all stand after the Moir," Warren said yesterday. Warren said Bel Sprinter was "all set to go." "Bring it on," he said of the six-year-old, who last start ran second to Lucky Nine in Singapore's KrisFlyer International Sprint in May. He will improve on this run. He had two trials before he blew them away in The Galaxy and he is fresh again, although he has had only one trial. Craig Newitt riding Samaready wins The Shark.com.au Stakes at Caulfield. Warren said barrier one was "not nice" but "that is up to Damien Oliver to negotiate" and that the gelding would settle at the rear anyway. "If there is a solid pace, as I expect, he should be running over the top of them," Warren said. However, he has huge admiration for his rivals. "Buffering has run second behind Black Caviar and Hay List at his best and is a solid performer at this level,"" he said. Epaulette will be hard to beat. He beat us home (behind Black Caviar) in the T.J. Smith after we won The Galaxy. Moment Of Change is a Group 1 winner (Rupert Clarke Stakes) and was runner-up in the Newmarket Handicap under a big weight, and he has a lot going for him. Snitzerland is a ripper. She was runner-up to Pierro in the Golden Slipper and she is always hard to catch, while Samaready won the Blue Diamond, was third in the Golden Slipper and seems to have bounced back really well from an injury. This will be a great race, for sure. But we are set and ready to have a red-hot go.
