For the second time in the space of four days, racing in Victoria heads to Mornington on Wednesday for a competitive eight-race meeting. The rail comes out 6m the entire circuit, and despite the Soft 5 track rating, it is expected to be a Good 4 surface at some point throughout race day. The first race at Mornington is set to jump at 3:40pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Mornington: Jennyanydots
The Mitchell Freedman-trained Jennyanydots is yet to miss the top three in her first four starts, which includes two victories to her name. The four-year-old mare was a dominant Caulfield Heath winner last time when stalking the lead and pouncing late in impressive fashion. She draws to gain an identical run in transit from barrier two, and despite needing to lug 58.5kg this time around, Jennyanydots should have a bit too much class on her side.
Best Bet
Race 5 – 
#1 Jennyanydots (2)
4yo Mare | T: Mitchell Freedman | J: Jye McNeil (58.5kg)
+120 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 one, 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 1 – 
#8 Mary Eliza (1)
3yo Filly | T: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman | J: Zac Spain (56.5kg)

Best Value at Mornington: Tommy
Tommy was defeated by the barest of margins at Murray Bridge on December 21 and shapes as great each-way value with horse racing bookmakers on Wednesday. The six-year-old gelding was forced to travel wide with no cover close to the speed and was only grabbed on the finishing line in a determined effort. He draws barrier three under Harry Coffey, where the pair should gain the plumb ride in transit. With even luck when turning for home, Tommy will take some holding out.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#6 Tommy (3)
6yo Gelding | T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy | J: Harry Coffey (58.5kg)
