Hayes and Dabernig have five runners engaged at Moonee Valley with Churchill Dancer and Golden Mane well backed to win their respective assignments.
Churchill Dancer will drop from Group II to open class in the Jeep Handicap (1000m) and punters have backed the Bobbie Lewis Quality winner from $4.80 into $3.80 despite dropping 200m on his last-start effort behind Eclair Choice at Flemington on October 31.
Churchill Dancer's stablemate Golden Mane opened at $19 with one agency in trading on the Ranvet Handicap (1600m) but punters have backed him into $7.50 despite finishing six lengths from Malaguerra when resuming at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day.
