Glenn Ingram’s Tuesday Mornington Preview

Posted on | Posted by Glenn Ingram

RACE 1

Like what DIVINE DOT has been doing at the jumpouts this prep, continuous improvement every time she steps out, big and fast and will take beating for the in-form local stable. CIRCUS PRINCE is also on debut and going the right way, has gate speed to be handy from a low draw and contesting the speed battle. REGAL BANTER is a forward-going filly by Kings Legacy, lacks a bit in size, jumpout form reads strong. FOXY VIXEN deserves respect out of the Lindsay Park stable, jumpouts hard to gauge, watch betting.

Selections: 2,1,6,4

Suggested Bet: DIVINE DOT win

RACE 2

Heavily-backed on debut AQUA STORM drifted back in the run and had circumstances against, winner had all favours. Step up in distance is a positive, the map is a negative, if he can use the draw to be closer in running then it’s a good race for him. GOLD DECREE is testing the punters patience, supported last start and peaked on the run, 1500 is again a query, however, blinkers go on and maps outside leader HIRAKLEE, with the rail out 8m she can give a sight in front. The local FOXING WARRIOR improved between two career starts in a positive sign, has claims.

Selections: 1,5,6,9

Suggested Bet: None

RACE 3

The good chances are drawn out. Taking the gamble that SILVER BULLET had an off day on debut at Sale, trapped wide, raced green in the straight, immediately spelled. Two jumpout wins at Pakenham this prep suggest there’s some talent, the 1st better than the 2nd, can see him going forward from the draw. OUR JUSTIFY was ok at the jumpouts, punters piled into the locally-trained filly late in betting in a decent maiden here on debut and unlucky not to get paid, the ear muffs remain on the filly and maps for a similar tough run again. VEOMAS is building to a win, visors on today could be the spark to land her 1st win. FOXLAND is a watch on debut, jumpouts inconclusive.

Selections: 7,11,8,4

Suggested Bet: SILVER BULLET each way

RACE 4

BOLD SUITOR was plain and not able to finish off in two career starts last campaign, both on rain-affected tracks. He resumes off strong jumpouts this time in (standard work for the breed) and should take up the running, he deserves a winning chance on firmer ground. TASSORTING improved back to a 1000m last start caught wide throughout and kept coming, a hot horse who can self-combust, need a push from the yard. BELLA ANGELICA is a show if she gets a run 1st emergency, taken to Mt Gambier and punted on the dog leg 900, held up key stage losing momentum. Locals LAPLAND and ALPHABET worth considering, the latter had no luck first-up trapped off the track.

Selections: 11,4,10,3

Suggested Bet: BOLD SUITOR win

RACE 5

SMART RETURN draws in and gets blinkers back on, she was just fair here fresh but can improve and has a map advantage over key rivals settling either on or tracking up behind the speed. BAZABALL REWARD returned to winning form dropping back to a 1000m, the race panned out perfectly and justified the market support. Tricky set-up for the apprentice to navigate this time. ICHIBERU was super without luck first-up, sure to improve second-up, senior replaces apprentice, a big watch on the track pattern. REMEMBER POPPY is likely leader and will take running down.

Selections: 6,1,3,5

Suggested Bet: SMART RETURN each way

RACE 6

They’ll go quick, RODRIGUEZ is still in the market after winning at Sale on Sunday, he may just be a mudder but has one speed and a seemingly big set of lungs, running his competition into the ground in both wins to date. That’s enough to test these with a few having a questionable will to win. FINAL MOMENT was good here fresh when the money was on, went to Cranbourne last start and tried hard in a strong BM64, gets last crack at this lot from the inside. DU CLISSON was strongly-supported to win here last start, rider opted for a sit and winner peeled off her back in the straight, blinkers on, may lead? PLAYLIST is limited, her jumpouts have been to her usual high standard.

Selections: 1,7,6,3

Suggested Bet: Quinella 1 & 7

RACE 7

Nothing would shock with an even bunch of mares. MISSILE GIRL lowered her colours last start at Gellong after a good start to the preparation, pattern was against on a firming track so worth forgiving. GRACIOUS DIVA is off a 9 week let-up and has jumped out super at Moe, she does tend to leave it at the jumpouts but in a moderate race has some claims. MOON MONEY enjoyed a blessed run at this course to break maiden, tricky gate this time, potential for further improvement. HOT CHIPS prefers the sting out, stable airborne and worth including.

Selections: 7,12,3,1

Suggested Bet: None

RACE 8

Tempo is moderate. MR BANNOCK has a low rating and further upside this campaign after impressing at the Caulfield Heath trials. A good beginner, tends to sit off the speed, ridden with intent he can punch forward with the promising apprentice riding full of confidence. LIM’S SMYTHE found a striking position at Pakenham and didn’t let down like the market suggested he would, put that down to the soft track conditions, a gap between and a tick-over jumpout since, he’s well-placed in this field. TAKA SPEED has a good finish and will be hoping they go quick early. NORWOODS lacks a punch but can stick on.

Selections: 9,2,6,3

Suggested Bet: MR BANNOCK 1 x 3
