Feature racing in Victoria returns to Mornington Racecourse on Sunday afternoon for a competitive eight-race meeting. The Listed R.M. Ansett Classic (2400m) headlines proceedings on a track likely to remain in the Soft range with showers forecast throughout the day. The rail sticks to its true position the entire circuit, with action commencing at 1:15pm AEST.
R.M. Ansett Classic Tip: Hit The Road Jack
Hit The Road Jack has been racing in fine form this campaign, and having gone down by a neck to Point King in the Group 3 Archer Stakes (2500m) at Flemington, he shapes as the one to beat in Sunday’s feature. The eight-year-old gelding draws to gain a perfect run in transit from barrier one, and with a genuinely run 2400m event expected, the race shapes up perfectly for Hit The Road Jack to absorb the pressure throughout and pounce on some vulnerable leaders.

Best Bet at Mornington: Bridal Waltz
Bridal Waltz could not have been more impressive when winning upon return at Tatura on September 10. The three-year-old filly ran her rivals ragged in maiden company by close to three lengths and in the small six-horse field, with 3kg claiming apprentice Emily Poznan on board, a similar run is likely. She will need to be quick out of the barriers to cross those drawn underneath, but with the claim coming in handy, Bridal Waltz can dance to victory once again.

Next Best at Mornington: Matawai
The Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr)-trained Matawai has been impressive in her last two starts at Sandown, winning in determined fashion two runs back before flashing home late to be beaten a half-head when finishing fourth. With four runs under her belt this campaign, she will be rock-hard fit, unlike key market rival Alma Rise, who will want further than 1600m. Luke Currie will have the Almanzor mare settled towards the rear of the field, but with a strong finish under the bonnet, Matawai will prove too hard to hold out.
