Winner4. TassortingSP $3.40
★ Top pickWon
4Tassorting
Tassorting presents the strongest winning profile with four placings from four attempts at this track and distance. The Craig Newitt/Jerome Hunter combination boasts a 60% strike rate, and barrier 5 allows tactical positioning. Despite being winless, the consistent placings and strong connections make this the most reliable selection.
2nd pick3rd
8Neotropical
The McArdle stable has her ready first up, and the inside barrier helps. While winless and resuming, the class drop and proven connections justify favouritism.
3rd pickScratched
1Filthy
The three-year-old gelding has the perfect record at Mornington and proven soft track ability. While barrier 7 presents challenges and the jockey booking is unproven, the recent form and track suitability make this a genuine chance.

6Meisho
Her soft track record (1 win, 1 place from 4 starts) suits today's conditions perfectly. Despite the jockey concern, her class edge is substantial.
2nd pick4th
7Espana
The trainer-jockey combination has proven successful, though recent jockey form is a minor concern.
3rd pick3rd
9Beau Strada
Beau Strada's recent maiden breakthrough at Sale shows she's found her form, and the Billy Egan booking adds confidence. Her consistent placing record suggests she can handle the class rise, though the wide barrier and unproven soft track credentials are concerns. The weight allocation helps offset the class jump.
Value pickScratched
12Unriddle
Unriddle offers value having just won at this track and distance in maiden company. His excellent Mornington record and inside barrier position align with track bias preferences.

2nd pick6th
5Blondie's Toronado
3rd pick3rd
3Queen Beira
Queen Beira brings solid credentials as a first up performer with a previous win at this track. The tongue tie first time represents a positive gear change, and she's dropping significantly in class. However, her poor soft track record and wide barrier draw present challenges at a track that favours inside runners. Her experience and class drop keep her competitive despite the negatives.
Value pick4th
4Hot Stepping Hippy
Hot Stepping Hippy represents value as a last start maiden winner stepping up in class. Her only career win came on a soft track, which is encouraging for today's conditions. The inside barrier draw is crucial at Mornington, and the Thornton booking suggests stable confidence.

New York Scandal offers strong each-way value despite the wide draw. While her soft track record is concerning, her consistent placing ability and strong distance form make her a genuine threat for the minor placings.
2nd pick10th
7Shay's Way
Shay's Way represents the improving type that can handle the class rise. Her recent maiden victory and perfect soft track record make her well-suited to conditions. The inside barrier draw is crucial at Mornington, and Billy Egan's booking suggests stable confidence. While the class rise is significant, her upward trajectory and condition suitability make her a live chance.

9Vegas On Fire
Vegas On Fire presents as the standout selection with her proven wet track credentials and ideal positioning for Mornington's forward-bias track. Her 4 wins on soft tracks and strong heavy track record make her perfectly suited to today's Soft 5 conditions. The second-up timing is ideal, and her barrier 7 draw allows tactical flexibility to settle handy.
