Mornington racing tips
—
Johnich has been close to winning after two placings, including a solid third placing at Pakenham last time out.
The three-year-old son of Dundeel wasn’t asked for much in a recent trial, and it should have him ready to fire for this race.
Take the $2.70 odds before money comes for him.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Punters get each-way odds for Parera, who has two placings this preparation, and he’s never too far away from the prize.
The four-year-old son of Pierata didn’t fire at Pakenham last time out, but if he gets some luck from the draw, he should settle handy and kick well.
We expect him to go close, so the odds are generous.
Stake: 1 Unit
Churchill Lane has looked good at the jumpouts, and he could make a winning debut for trainer Jason Warren.
The three-year-old son of Churchill hasn’t been missed in betting markets at $5.50, and he could attract attention on race day.
Getting the inside draw is enough to see him prevail.
Stake: 1 Unit
Path to Profit is threatening to win a race after two placings from three starts, and she went close at Mornington last time out.
The three-year-old filly by Capitalist has experience running at the track, which is always a positive, and Ben Melham riding helps.
Her odds have drifted after opening at $2.30, but we’re not concerned about that.
Stake: 2 Units
Looking to remain unbeaten is Esmahli, who scored by 1.3 lengths at Mornington on debut.
The three-year-old colt by Blue Point had solid betting support on that occasion, and punters get slightly better odds this time around.
We’re happy to include him in our picks to win again.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Immortal Star wasn’t too far away when running third fresh up at Kyneton in heavy conditions, and she should be tough to beat.
The four-year-old mare has better form in drier conditions, and she owns a win and a placing from three second-up starts.
Getting 3kg off her back with Zoe Waller adds to her appeal.
Stake: 1 Unit
We’re going with another unbeaten runner in Hot Blue, who scored at Seymour when heavily backed into $2.60.
The three-year-old colt by Astern doesn’t have the same betting support this time around at $5.50, but punters should take the odds.
Mick Dee rides, which adds to our confidence.
Stake: 1.5 Units
We have backed Bazaball Rewarded in all four starts this preparation, and although she was disappointing last time out, we’re giving her another chance.
The four-year-old mare peaked on her run after getting a good trip in transit, but the Mornington track was favouring front runners.
Look for her form to return with the drop in distance to 1000m.
Stake: 3 Units
