Warren Huntly’s Saturday Mornington Preview

Posted on September 29, 2023September 29, 2023 | Posted by Warren Huntly

Race 1

PRIDE OF SULLIVAN was grabbed late at stakes level over 1200m last time and looks well placed dropping in grade and coming back to 1000m. RUBICON CROSSING has some solid NZ form and has been jumping out nicely for her Australian debut. IPHIMEDIA has been kept fresh and is another that might appreciate coming back to 1000m. PICKY should appreciate getting back around a bend.

Selections: 3,2,1,8

Suggested Bet: Pride of Sullivan to win

---

Race 2

ORACLE SON would’ve finished closer last start if he didn’t suffer interference over the final stages. MIDNIGHT CHARM flies first up and has jumped out in typically good style. LEMPICKA kept her great fresh record in tact last start and maps for a good run. HYDRO STAR is fit and consistent.

Selections: 3,2,4,8

Suggested Bet: Oracle Son each way

---

Race 3

DUNALLEY chased well from back in the field last time and shapes as a strong winning chance. Her stablemate, FIASCO TESS, will make her own luck and could prove hard to run down. MISS MOONSHINE looked sharp winning a recent jumpout and kicks off at a suitable trip. STARSPANGLED BABY will strip fitter third up and gets blinkers back on. SKY HORSE has trialled quite well to resume.

Selections: 3,4,7,2

Suggested Bet: Dunalley to win

Race 4

THE BRILL BUILDING won with something in hand last start looks capable of measuring up to this slightly higher grade. PUNGO looks a strong danger, he’s a previous first up winner and has jumped out well recently. FARHH FLUNG doesn’t run poorly and will strip fitter second up. OUBITSA and KWOI HOI both get blinkers on and have a case.

Selections: 9,5,7,10

Suggested Bet: Playing multiples around 9 & 5

---

Race 5

TOMMY comes through a key form race and worked home well on that occasion despite racing in slightly restricted room over the final stages. ARAVENE is building nicely this prep and appears suited steeping up to 2000m. CHIHULY comes through the same race as Tommy and will appreciate the extra 200m. SCHWEINSTEIGER also comes through that race and will strip  fitter third up from a lengthy break.

Selections: 5,2,11,3

Suggested Bet: Tommy each way

---

Race 6

PANTELONE is building a handy record and maps for a good run. He’s been kept on the fresh side and was given a quiet time in a recent jumpout leading into this event. SPEEDTAIL is also building a handy record and looks suited at this trip on the fresh side. AIRCLASH is unbeaten here, he brings a decent first up record and looked sharp in a recent jumpout. MR TICKLES will strip fitter for an encouraging return and will appreciate the rise in distance.

Selections: 9,7,3,5

Suggested Bet: Pantelone each way

---

Race 7

MASERARTIE BAY ended up in an awkward spot in a slowly run race last time. He’s jumped out nicely since and should get a clearer run near the speed here. BORN A KING ran well at his first Victorian run this campaign and has been given a solid grounding for this trip. REGAL POWER is proven up to 2400m and held his ground ok in a stronger race last week. QUEEN TAKES KING and DICK WHITTINGTON have some claims.

Selections: 3,4,1,6

Suggested Bet: Maserartie Bay each way

---

Race 8

MISS GALORE was well supported to win first up and appeals as a horse with plenty of upside. LADY DI DI also has strong claims, she will strip fitter for her encouraging return and will appreciate stepping up to 1200m. SKIDAMARINK pulled up lame first up and her previous form includes a win over Lady Di Di. EXTEME STEP will be at peak fitness now and worked home ok in a leader dominated race at her latest run.

Selections: 3,8,2,1

Suggested Bet: Miss Galore to win
