She has been placed against maidens and ran a solid third last start. She also won a barrier trial and is bred to improve. She should get a handy trip behind the speed with Damian Lane aboard.

Peninsula Kubota Mdn Plate
Kuheylan has the clearest run of any runner with the speed map in her favour. In a moderate tempo with no real leader, she can dictate and control the race. Her third at Moe last start was a genuine step forward, finishing strongly after being checked. She is still winless after six starts and has faded when pressed, so she is a place-leaning chance rather than a confident winner.
This filly ran a sound fourth on debut after being slowly away, and the stable is among the form trainers at the track. The concern is that she is likely to settle well back in a moderately run race, on a track with a short 210m straight where closers are at a disadvantage.
She has been placed in most starts, ran second over 1600m last start in a step up, and ran a good second at Mornington before that. She should settle in the first few from barrier 1 in a moderately run race.
A maiden with eight starts, but she has the early speed and draw to be in the first three in a field with no firm leader. Her best runs have been on the pace over 1600m, and the stable has a good record at this track.

Oceans Blue has run two placings, the latest a gutsy second on Soft 5, and now backs up quickly. She should settle just off the speed from a good gate with the pace only moderate. Several rivals are unraced or first-up from a long spell, so she is the most reliable of a lightly-exposed field.
A genuine chance if she can cross to the front from the wide gate. The 133-day break and barrier 13 are the concerns, plus a tendency to tire when out in front.
An unraced filly who has shown promise in trials, winning her latest hit-out at Pakenham. With no form on a Soft track and her outright ability untested, she is respected but not preferred over the two with racecourse form.
She ran a solid fourth on debut over 1200m, finishing on strongly after being slow early, and should improve for the run with a quick back-up. She can find a handy position in a moderately run race, and the Laurie stable has a good record at Mornington.

McLeod Trees Mdn Plate
Big Kapow is the most proven runner in a modest maiden and mapped to be on-pace in an open-leader race. He was second in a first-up sprint and ran on well at Sale last start after a slow start.
Without race form he has to be judged on stable and jockey, who combine well.
A model of consistency who has been placed in every start, but he is yet to find a win. The wide draw may cost him the early lead, though he has the speed to cross. He will be hard to beat for a place and wins if he gets his own way, so each-way suits.
It ran a reasonable fourth on a soft track on debut and has had two jump-outs. It returns after a spell and the barrier is wide, so it may be forced to race midfield.

Quayclean Mdn Plate
She is the top pick on form-by-proxy, ahead of the proven placegetter Sealand.
Sealand has the most reliable form in the field, with two close seconds, one at Sale last winter and one at Pakenham early in the year. She is well suited by a fast tempo if she can get cover from the wide gate.
Exclusive Punt has been in the places only once, but her last start at Mornington was an even effort against a stronger field. The light weight and mid-field gate let her slot in on speed, and the track favours horses that are handy.
Shalwedash has been placed in two Flemington jump-outs and draws an inside gate that suits her over 1000m. A tongue tie on debut suggests the stable is looking to maximise her. A small each-way play.

Evergreen Turf (Bm62)
Ilovediamonds is in career-best form with two wins from her last two, including a win at Mornington over 1000m last start. She is the only true leader in a race expected to be run at a moderate tempo, and the wet track is a small question mark. Sam Kennedy's record on her is perfect, and she gets a handy weight.
She is second-up and fit. She earns a place in the top three but is not the winner on form.
Miss Cotoletta is a proven wet-track sprinter who has dropped in class and gets an inside draw behind the leader. Her last run was a heart-irregularity pull-up in August, and she is first up with top weight, which keeps her below the others. If fit and sound she has the wet-track credentials to run well, and she is a fair chance.
Pocket Size is a consistent sprinter who has been competitive at Bm70 level and now drops into a Bm62. She will settle in the first few behind the likely leader, and her last run on a soft track was solid.

Sportsbet Peninsula Cup
The class runner of the race. He has been running big races in Listed company, including a strong third at Seymour on Soft 5, and is dropping to an Open at Mornington. He should settle just behind the leader in a slowly run race, which suits.
The most likely leader in a field short of speed. He ran a solid third leading at Mornington on Soft 5 and has a good record at the distance and in the wet. The light weight helps and he can dictate a steady tempo. He needs to improve against better-credentialed opposition, but he is well placed.
A strong wet-track performer who ran on well enough to place on heavy ground last week. He has a good combination with his trainer and jockey, and should get a trouble-free run just off the speed. He is yet to win at this level this season, and his recent form is patchy, but he is a sound place chance and an each-way chance.
A veteran who should settle just behind the speed in a race where handy runners are favoured. His record on soft ground and at the distance is good, and he is second up from a break with a jump-out to bring him on.

Catanach's Jewellers (Bm62)
He won last start, is a good fit for a handy position in a slow-run race, and the jockey combination is strong. The risk is the wet track, where he has never won.
The best stayer in the field, with three seconds over 2400m on varied ground and a light weight. The negative is the shape. If the pace is slow, a backmarker has to do too much on a short-straight track.
A 4yo on the way up who ran two good races at Moe and Kilmore, both at Bm56 level. He gets a similar grade today with a light weight and a handy position.
A mare who has found her best form in the wet and ran a near-win over 2200m on soft last start. She carries the lowest weight in the field and gets more ground.

Louvretec Melbourne (Bm66)
A progressive, lightly-raced four-year-old who has won two of six and is plainly on the up. He ground out a determined win over 2000m last start and was beaten a whisker here over this same trip on soft two runs back after being badly held up at a vital stage. Drawn a little awkward but has the tactical speed to slot in handy. His improving trajectory gives him real claims and there is likely more to come.
Racing into form and dropping sharply in class out of stronger races, including a sound fifth here over 2000m on soft in a much tougher grade last month. A dual soft-track winner who has also been fourth in a valuable country cup, he is drawn the inside to save ground around the tight Mornington circuit.
A seven-year-old with the most consistent profile in the race and clearly the one to beat. He is a three-time winner over 2000m and a multiple winner on rain-affected ground, and his last three runs in slightly stronger company have all been sound, including a close-up third over this trip last start. Expected to settle handy in what shapes as a slowly-run race, which suits his on-pace style on a tight track with a short straight. The safest and most likely winner.
A genuine stayer with the best staying credentials in the field, including a close second in a stronger race over a staying trip on heavy ground and a win over a longer journey before a break. He was plain first-up but should be much sharper second-up, and the step to 2000m with a drop in class plays to his strengths.

Progress Signs (Bm66)
Kokako is a proven first-up performer dropping well below the grade she met last campaign, and her best run at 1200m on Good ground was a convincing win.
Artistic Genius arrives off a strong win, and his on-pace style should land him in a good position even from the wide gate. Top weight is a real burden at Mornington's short straight, but his best form is the equal of anything here. A solid place chance with a genuine winning shot if he gets the run.
Master Of The Air has run solidly in this grade and only lacks a winning kick late in his races. He's an honest type who should be in the finish and is a fair place chance. A mid-field settle suits better than the map says, but he needs luck to win.
The last run was poor, but he has bounced from similar performances before. He gets a handy position and, at nearly 20-1, rates as the best value in the race.
