Mornington - Race 1 - Sportsbet Maiden Plate - 1000m

Selections:
8. Hot Whiskers - $2.60
7. Danube - $3.50
4. Stranded - $4.40

BEST BET - Hot Whiskers - $2.60
In a field packed with exciting debutants, it is Hot Whiskers who catches the eye. Coming from the formidable Stokes yard, form is good and whilst it is the first run of its career, it is being backed to the hilt in this one.

THE DANGER - Danube - $3.50
A similar synopsis can be written here for Danube, a horse with bags of potential for Jason Cummings. Watching these two bright talents clash should be fascinating and there is plenty on the line for all involved.

VALUE BET - Stranded - $4.40
Ciaron Maher throws his hat into the ring with Stranded, a horse that has the capability to tear up the field on paper but who will also be making its first career outing. Stranded does look a touch overpriced though and should be tracked.

Mornington - Race 4 - Big Screen Company Maiden Plate - 1500m

Selections:
13. Grinzinger Halo - $2.70
9. Wokou - $4.00
12. Girl From Oz - $6.00

BEST BET - Grinzinger Halo - $2.70
Two relatively low key outings won't be catching the eye for Grinzinger Halo but this looks to be a real chance to break its ever-developing duck. Conditions at Mornington should suit and it should have the pace to burn over 1500m.

THE DANGER - Wokou - $4.00
How Wokou hasn't managed to pick up a race win remains a bit of a mystery for all connected to the horse but it should be a contender here. This type of trip will be ideal and it could finally land, at the 10th time of asking.

VALUE BET - Girl From Oz - $6.00
Despite not much form to go off here, Girl From Oz clearly has the potential to compete at this level and this looks to be a great contest to stretch the legs in here at Mornington.

Mornington - Race 7 - Modtech Group Handicap - 1200m

Selections:
6. The Dabble Effect - $3.20
3. Gracie's Rain  - $3.80
5. Kira - $9.00

BEST BET - The Dabble Effect - $3.20
Some excellent performances over the past couple of seasons have been hugely encouraging for the Dabble Effect and it is rightfully the one to catch here. It looked in decent nick at Caulfield Heath last time out and should carry that form into this one.

THE DANGER - Gracie's Rain - $3.80
Despite a quiet showing at Moonee Valley last time out, Gracie's Rain has been in excellent form of late and should be bang in the hunt here. Conditions at Mornington should be a good fit and it has the pace to make all in this contest.

VALUE BET - Kira - $9.00
Being in the winning groove can be key at this level and it is fair to say that Kira is the in-form offering in this one. This is a tougher contest here at Mornington than it has been used to but Kira can certainly compete.
