Mornington racing tips

Race 1. (16:15) Mornington Peninsula Maiden (2025m)

#2 – Distillery @ $2.50

Distillery improved to finish second last time out at Wangaratta, and there is plenty of improvement to come.

The four-year-old son of So You Think opened at $3.40, so he has been heavily backed to score, and the odds could keep firming.

It’s not an overly tough field, and he should go close to breaking maidens.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (16:50) Big Event Picnic Tables BM70 (3040m)

#2 – Natural Ruler @ $7.50

Natural Ruler hasn’t been at his best this preparation, but we’re giving him another chance at each-way odds.

The five-year-old son of Ten Sovereigns is a two-time winner from 13 starts, and it could be the forgotten OTI runner in the field.

Rising to 3040m should add to his chances of winning.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (17:25) Peninsula Kubota Maiden (1200m)

#6 – Valedictorian @ $4.80

Looking to cap off consistent form is Valedictorian, who has three placings from five starts this preparation.

The three-year-old colt by Zoustar wasn’t far away when fourth last time out at Geelong, which should be a good form guide.

Getting $4.80 is a good price from bookmakers, so snap up the value.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (18:00) The Big Screen Company Maiden (1200m)

#10 – Somersault @ $3.00

Somersault has a good chance of capping off consecutive second placings with a win, and she has been rock-solid in betting markets.

The three-year-old daughter of Hellbent placed at Kyneton and Geelong, and running at Mornington should be right up her alley.

Mick Dee rides from barrier five, so she should be tough to beat.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (18:30) Brad Masters Plumbing BM70 (1200m)

#3 – Darts Daly @ $4.80

A good chance of winning fresh up is Darts Daly, who looked good when placing in consecutive runs at Sandown and Swan Hill last preparation.

The five-year-old son of Squamosa owns four wins and five placings overall, so he’s never too far away from the prize.

The distance is ideal, so he should be fighting out the finish.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (19:00) Modtech Group Electricians BM64 (1200m)

#3 – Diamond Gust @ $4.80

The three-year-old son of Toronado wasn’t far away when running third at Sandown and Bendigo last preparation, and he could start with a win this campaign.

He ran at $2.20 odds last time out, so punters get better odds this time around, and getting weight off his back helps.

Take the each-way odds available, as they’re better than what he usually pays.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (19:30) The Devilbend Golf Course BM70 (1500m)

#5 – Macedon Rose @ $4.40

Macedon Rose is a three-time winner from nine starts, and she could bounce back from a poor effort at Pakenham.

The four-year-old mare by Territories runs best on good surfaces, and it won’t take her long to get back to her winning ways.

She is another runner paying each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit
