Our Mornington Horse Racing Tips for Saturday’s meeting.
Dom To Shoot (Mornington Race 6 No. 2)
Thought Dom To Shoot’s effort to finish fifth in the CS Hayes Stakes at Flemington two starts ago was very good. Prior to that he was Group 1 placed in the Kingstown Classic. Last start he disappointed in the Australian Guineas but that was in a much tougher contest than this. If he can find anywhere near his best then he will be winning here.

Chapada (Mornington Race 7 No. 2):
Chapada won the Herbert Power Stakes by 1.2 lengths in October, then was far from disgraced in the Caulfield Cup. He has had two runs back from a spell and was a nice effort when finishing third in the Australian Cup last start. He is set to peak here third up and is proven at the distance.

Best Lay
Mahashakti (Mornington Race 2 No. 8):
Mahashakti has come up as the early favourite in race two. She has won four in a row and is a promising horse for the future but is now deep into her first racing preparation. She is taking another huge step up in class here and looks short enough in early markets considering.

Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. Keep an eye on the conditions in the lead up and fingers crossed the meeting still goes ahead. Best Bet Self Worth (Grafton Race 1 No. 7) Looks well placed to resume a winner. Concede there has been 17 career starts for Self Worth but it does find a very thin maiden and has enough early speed to find a prominent spot and off set the wide draw. Check odds on SmartB

Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +11 metres for the 9 race card. Best Bet Metalart (Eagle Farm Race 9 No. 9) Unbeaten at both his starts and should be running near the front. Both runs have been on soft going and he should be hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Thesecondatportsea (Eagle Farm Race 4 No. 4) She’s won 3 of her 5 starts

Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +7 metres from the 800m to 400m and +6 for the remainder. Best Bet Chosen Miss (Gawler Race 4 No. 1) Last start she was 0.5 length 2nd at Strathalbyn and the start before was a 4 length winner at Balaklava. She’s in form and gets a 3kg claim for Tala Hutchinson. Nicely placed. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way High On

Key Comments The track is in the heavy 10 range. The rail is in 3 metres. The best bet has heavy form and looks a big hope with Gibbons steering. Best Bet Bellascent (Wyong Race 4 No. 6) Excellent run last start almost pulling off the win at decent odds. That was on heavy ground and it got within .2 of the winner. Should get conditions to suit again here and by this time of the day being drawn wide may not be
