In-form six-year-old Anyways has the Group Three Standish Handicap at Flemington on his radar after posting three wins from four starts in less than a month.

Anyways did it the hard way at Moonee Valley on Saturday when he raced three wide on the pace but was still too strong in the Mayfair Smallgoods Handicap (1500m), scoring by a neck from Kings Farewell with La Rocket the same margin away third.

"He would have been 50-1 at the half mile (800m) being three deep and facing the breeze," trainer Shane Nichols said.

Anyways carried 53.5kg, only a half-kilo above minimum after the three-kilo claim for apprentice Billy Egan.

Last start the Archway gelding gave away too much start when second to Silky Smooth at Sandown after winning at Echuca on Melbourne Cup day and Moonee Valley on November 14.

"He is in career-best form at the moment," Nichols said.

Anyways has won nine of his 55 starts and earned more than $230,000 in stakes.

But that figure could swell substantially should Nichols decide to aim him at the $200,000 Standish Handicap (1200m) on New Year's Day.

As a three-year-old Anyways was placed twice down the Flemington straight.

"He goes really well fresh down so we might freshen him for the Standish," Nichols said.

"He is racing well, very honest and reliable and he can go on from here."

Meanwhile, Glen Boss, who during the week relocated from Sydney to Melbourne, had a day he would rather forget with only one of his seven mounts managing to fill a place.

Third was as close as he got for the day with Keeping Score chasing home Arclace and Sunday Adieu in the Pages Event Equipment Handicap (2040m).
