Racing heads to Mornington Racecourse this Sunday afternoon for a competitive eight-race meeting on a track rated a Soft 5. Overcast conditions are forecast, and despite it not being the warmest summer day, we expect to be racing on a Good 4 for the card. The rail comes out 8m the entire circuit, which could lead to on-pace runners gaining an advantage over their rivals. Action from Mornington is to commence at 1:20pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Mornington: Stupendous
Stupendous is having her second start for the Lloyd Kennewell & Lucy Yeomans barn, and we expect she will make it a winning one. Formerly with Chris Bieg in South Australia, the Trapeze Artist filly finished second on stable debut over 1300m, and despite travelling three wide with no cover throughout, stuck on well to comfortably hold the rest of the field at bay. From barrier nine, Blake Shinn will look to have this girl settled either outside lead or in the one-one, and with a touch more luck this time around, Stupendous should be breaking maiden ranks at start eight.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#9 Stupendous (9)
3yo Filly | T: Lloyd Kennwell & Lucy Yeomans | J: Blake Shinn (56kg)

Next Best at Mornington: Inordinate
Inordinate has finished second in each of his last three starts, and gets his chance to go one better on Sunday. There is little doubt that he should have won two starts back at Yarra Valley on December 22 before running in to one better at Cranbourne on January 12. The son of Onemorenomore steps up to the 2460m from 2080m and it should suit him perfectly as he looks to be quite a dour stayer. Joe Bowditch will have this guy settled on the heels of the leaders throughout, and as long as he sees out the trip, Inordinate should prove to be the superior stayer.
Next Best
Race 6 – 
#5 Inordinate (5)
6yo Gelding | T: Gavin Bedggood | J: Joe Bowditch (58kg)
+280 with Neds
Best Value at Mornington: Jehbenti
Jehbenti was a dominant maiden winner at Werribee on January 6 when managing to lead throughout over the 1006m, and on a day where it could suit on-pace runners, we’re happy to side with him in the quaddie opener. The Shane Nichols-trained runner hadn’t hit the frame in six prior starts but had been running in much tougher races than the one he broke his maiden in. The Class 1 affair doesn’t seem to be the toughest event going around, and if Zac Spain can have him either leading or outside the lead from the get go, we’re confident Jehbenti can run a bold race at a nice price with top horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 5 – 
#5 Jehbenti (6)
3yo Gelding | T: Shane Nichols | J: Zac Spain (56.5kg)
