Mornington October 7th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Race 8
11
Dream Queen $2.25
Dream Queen is ready to strike on her Australian debut after being acquire by Lindsey Park.
The Ben & J D Hayes-trained three-year-old filly was pinched after by the training duo after four starts in New Zealand and has jumped out in very impressive fashion at Flemington.
Craig Williams is making the trek to Mornington to ride this girl and it is his only ride for the day which is a huge lead.
Draws a middle barrier and will likely be taken towards the front of the field on a track that really favours on-pace horses.
Next Best - Race 3
7
Niccolite $4.4
Found the 1000 metres up the Flemington straight a little bit too sharp for her liking when she was left flat-footed by a few handy juvenile sprinters.
The sprint of a 1200-metre race back to provincial grade will be much easier for her and she now has the fitness benefit of having had a run.
Jordan Childs should be able to blend in three wide with cover from barrier eight and launch home up the middle of the Mornington straight.
Best Roughie - Race 8
13
Expectant $21/$5.5
Something clearly went amiss with Expectant when running seventh of nine runners as a $4 elect in BM-64 grade at Mornington over 1200 metres.
He has since been given a freshen up to get over that mishap and in-form apprentice Kiran Quilty takes the ride as well as a 3kgs allowance.
The weight relief and drawing a very soft barrier should this four-year-old gelding running somewhere near the top three.
