Racing Tips – Monday Best Bets for Doomben and Mornington

Home Affairs Lightning Stakes - Expert Horse Racing Tips

Doomben should be improving soft ground while Mornington should present an ideal racing surface.

Best Bet

Doomben 5/8 Ghostwriter (2:57pm)

Ghostwriter resumes as a gelding and looks well placed here. The Annabel Neasham trained three year old has plenty of talent, as shown by his most recent run, a fourth placing at Rosehill in November. His trials since being gelded have been very good.

Recommended Price: $3.00
Confidence Level: 4/5


More Racing Tips

Mornington 5/5 Platinum Spirit (3:30pm)

Platinum Spirit comes over from New Zealand where he was most recently seen running midfield in the Wellington Cup. Admittedly that’s not a strong race for a Group 3, but this is a Class 2. Wouldn’t be surprised at all to see him measure up.

Recommended Price: $5.00
Confidence Level: 3/5


Mornington 6/1 Breasley (4:00pm)

Rhys McLeod comes to Mornington for one ride and it’s on a likely type in Breasley. He didn’t quite run out the 1950m last time at Yarra Valley, dropping back in trip and getting back to his home track will suit.

Recommended Price: $4.60
Confidence Level: 3/5
