Best Bet

5. Mornington Glory
Moonee Valley R7 (3.45pm)

Mornington Glory showed a devastating turn of foot to win here a fortnight ago and I’m expecting the same once again. There is a stack of speed in this 1000m contest which should make things hard for favourite Bold Bastille and while Mornington Glory has drawn wide, it’s essentially a one turn track from the 1000m chute so being three wide with cover should position him perfectly.

Recommended Price: $2.60
Confidence Level: 4/5

3. Lordship
Moonee Valley R1 (1.10pm)

Lordship improved sharply at Flemington last start when stepped up to 2500m and placing third behind Horrifying and Berkshire Breeze. He should still be open to further fitness benefit off the back of that and this is a much easier race. I’m a confirmed Dashing Duchess fan, but $1.80 is incredibly short for her.

Recommended Price: $3.50
Confidence Level: 3.5/5


1. Southport Tycoon
Randwick R7 (3.15pm)

Southport Tycoon proved his class winning the Group 1 Australian Guineas last spring but he also produced some good performances over shorter trips, most notably a close second in the Australia Stakes at Moonee Valley. The gelding has been trialling up nicely in anticipation for this and will be hard to beat with any luck early.

Recommended Price: $5.00
Confidence Level: 3.5/5


11. Tropical Squall
Randwick R8 (3.50pm)

Tropical Squall can cause a minor upset in this year’s Winx Stakes, much as she did first up in the autumn when winning the Surround Stakes over this track and distance. She is unbeaten first up and her recent trials point towards her being nice and forward for this. The speed map looks ideal and she will take a lot of catching.

Recommended Price: $7.50
Confidence Level: 3.5/5


8. Air Assault
Morphettville R8 (4.57pm)

Air Assault ran a lovely race first up in the Behemoth Stakes and the step up to 1400m second up should prove ideal for him. From barrier one he should be right on the speed, if not lead which always helps around the tight Parks track. With an uncertain map for key rivals, he looks excellent value.

Recommended Price: $7.50
Confidence Level: 3.5/5
