White Bear represents excellent value with a perfect barrier draw (3) on Mornington's leader-biased track.

Our price $3.80 · SP $7.00 · Michael Dee

Dubai Adventure brings the perfect profile for Mornington - won his only start at this track and distance 11 days ago, drawn ideally in barrier 5, and gets blinkers first time which should enhance his tactical speed. The Freedman-trained gelding steps up in class but has scope for improvement and the inside-favoring track bias suits his forward racing pattern. The tight-turning Mornington circuit with its short 210m straight heavily favors on-pace runners from inside draws.

Diamond Gust returns from a spell with several positives - gelded since last run, drawn perfectly in barrier 2 for this leader-biased track, and brings consistent form (1-0-2 from 4 starts). While first-up from a 90-day break, he has a solid fresh record with one placing from two attempts. The M M Laurie-trained gelding should position forward from the inside gate, ideal for Mornington's tight-turning circuit.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.00 · Jamie Mott

Chicago Blues drops significantly in class from a Group 3 to BM64 and draws well in barrier 4, which is crucial at the leader-biased Mornington circuit. The Jason Warren-trained gelding has a solid record of 1 win and 1 third from 4 starts and should position forward in running. The removal of blinkers could help him settle better, though he carries top weight of 60kg. His recent form appears to be tapering, but the class drop and suitable barrier position make him competitive.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.80 · Luke Cartwright

Lightly-raced 3yo filly with significant upside potential. Her recent win followed by a respectable 5th in Listed company shows her quality.
