More Racing Tips

2. Trust Bill
Mornington R2 (1:35pm)

Trust Bill comes to the races on debut but has had a solid grounding with five jumpouts, three of them this prep. His most recent one at Pakenham saw him win in impressive style, showing good early speed and not being placed under much pressure at all. The John Sadler trained gelding can win here.

Recommended Price: $3.00
Confidence Level: 3.5/5


2. Breasley
Mornington R6 (3:20pm)

Breasley is racing in terrific form at present and coming back in trip looks ideally suited. He got out to 2400m last time and was just overhauled late by a horse, Platinum Spirit, that had the absolute gun run. Expect Rhys McLeod to go forward and lead them a merry dance throughout.

Recommended Price: $2.00
Confidence Level: 4/5


8. Scoria Star
Mornington R8 (5:20pm)

Scoria Star looks value in the last at Mornington on Thursday. The mare who was previously racing in North Queensland was an impressive winner first up at St Arnaud showing good speed to lead all the way. Expect similar tactics here again and this is only a moderate field.

Recommended Price: $8.00
Confidence Level: 3/5
