★ Top pickWon
5Pol Rogeur
The most consistent performer in the field with two placings from three starts. Benefits from the crucial inside barrier at leader-dominated Mornington and has shown steady improvement. Jake Noonan's strong recent form and proven combination with the Feek stable adds confidence. The step up to 1500m suits the Highland Reel breeding.
2nd pick3rd
2Easy Red
The addition of cross-over nose band suggests connections expect improvement. Well-drawn to secure a forward position which is crucial at Mornington.
3rd pickNo result
10Woolf's Prize
The 2kg weight advantage and second-up positioning could see improvement, though the wide barrier is a significant negative at this track.
Value pick2nd
4Obon
Well-positioned from barrier 3 to take advantage of Mornington's leader bias. The step up in distance should suit the Hallowed Crown breeding.

★ Top pick2nd
6Privateer
Privateer gets the perfect scenario with barrier 1 on a track that heavily favours leaders and inside runners. The Snitzel breeding is ideal for this distance.
2nd pickWon
1Rose Sangria
Rose Sangria shapes as the main danger with her good first-up record suggesting she'll be primed second up. The barrier allows her to settle in the crucial forward positions that Mornington demands, and her recent heavy track placing shows she has ability when conditions suit.
3rd pick3rd
7Sassidora
Sassidora's narrow second at Yarra Glen was an eye-catching effort and suggests she's close to breaking through. The Busuttin/Young stable excels with maidens, and while the barrier isn't ideal, her class edge may be enough if the pace is genuine.

Debut runner perfectly positioned from barrier 1 at the leader-dominated Mornington track. Walker stable and barrier 1 provide the best platform for a first-starter in this field.
3rd pickWon

Significant class drop from Open company to Maiden level provides major advantage. The filly has shown first-up ability with a place from two attempts and benefits from barrier 2 and minimum weight. The class relief could be decisive despite track condition concerns.

7Marilyn's Edge
Marilyn's Edge drops significantly in class after a strong second at Caulfield Heath in BM62 company. The class drop combined with consistent placing ability makes her the most reliable winning chance despite the wide draw.
2nd pickNo result
1Auckland
Auckland benefits from a significant class drop and draws perfectly in barrier 2 for Mornington's leader-favouring track. The Nugent/Auckland combination has an excellent 29% strike rate, and the gelding has won at this track and distance before. The class drop makes him a strong each-way chance.
3rd pickNo result
6Doubtland Diva
Doubtland Diva has a perfect record at Mornington 1000m with her maiden win here. She's second up from a spell where she typically improves, and carries the minimum weight. The wide barrier is concerning but her track familiarity and class give her strong place chances.
Value pickNo result

10Magnardo
Her outstanding recent form of 6 wins from 8 starts, combined with a strong good track record and proven ability at 1200m, makes her the most likely winner despite never winning at Mornington. The inside barrier position suits her forward settling style perfectly for this leader-dominated track.
2nd pick2nd
2Brullen
Brullen shapes as the main danger with his strong first up record and class drop from BM62 level. His consistent form and good distance record make him a genuine threat, though the wide barrier presents a significant challenge at this leader-dominated track. Emily Pozman's solid recent form adds confidence to the selection.
