Racing heads down the Peninsula on Sunday, where a quickfire seven-race meeting awaits punters at Mornington. A typical summer scorcher is forecast, meaning the track should be a Good 3 at some point in the day, while the rail comes out 6m the entire circuit. The Mornington races on January 5 are set to commence at 1:20pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Mornington: Ortigian Girl
Ortigian Girl came with a withering burst on debut at Cranbourne over 1000m when beaten less than a length, and stepping up to the 1200m looks the perfect recipe to see her break maiden ranks. In the small field of seven, the I Am Invincible progeny made up multiple lengths on the eventual winner and looked to be screaming out for the step up in trip in doing so. Daniel Moor will have her towards the rear of the field from barrier 10, but with a similar finish, Ortigian Girl looks the goods at $2.70 with Neds.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#7 Ortigian Girl (10)
3yo Filly | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Daniel Moor (56.5kg)
+170 with Neds
Next Best at Mornington: Mary Eliza
Mary Eliza was massive in defeat on debut at Seymour on December 19, and with an easier run in transit expected on Sunday, it should be second-time lucky for the Super Seth filly. The three-year-old was forced to travel three wide with no cover close to the speed on that day and never shirked the task when beaten 2.2 lengths. From barrier three, Zac Spain will have Mary Eliza stalking the speed throughout, and barring any bad luck, Mary Eliza should not be in maiden grade for much longer.
Next Best
Race 4 – 
#10 Mary Eliza (3)
3yo Filly | T: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman | J: Zac Spain (56.5kg)
+170 with BlondeBet
Best Value at Mornington: Judge Kellie
Judge Kellie was beaten by the barest possible margin at the Mornington 1200m on December 6, and on her return to the track and trip, she presents great each-way with horse betting sites. Having settled midfield on that day, the Charm Spirit mare managed to unleash a strong finish when missing in a driving finish. With a similar run in transit, Judge Kellie’s finishing burst will have her fighting out the finish at an $11 quote with Picklebet.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#4 Judge Kellie (12)
5yo Mare | T: Patrick & Michelle Payne | J: Jake Noonan (57.5kg)
+1000 with Picklebet
