Our Mornington Horse Racing Tips for Tuesday’s meeting.
Prince Of Mercia (Mornington Race 3 No. 4)
This three-year-old Magnus gelding trained at the track has ran 2nd three times from his four starts. He was leading to the turn and only went down late for 0.4 length 2nd over 1300m at Bendigo on 23 February, then chased solidly and peaked late for 1.25 length 2nd over 1200m at Sandown Lakeside. He has had an eight week let-up and won a recent Cranbourne trial. Has Jamie Kah riding and should win.

Each Way
Dixiana (Mornington Race 8 No. 9):
This three-year-old Street Boss filly trained by James Cummings has one win and one place from three starts. She was an early leader but was headed inside the 200m and battled on for 0.75, 2.25 lengths 3rd over 1100m at Bendigo on 6 April, then settled midfield and ran on strongly to charge clear in the last few strides for a 1.25 length win over 1000m at Moe on 25 April on soft going. She looks a nice each-way bet.

Best Lay
Fortune Follows (Mornington Race 7 No. 4):
This four-year-old Akeed Mofeed gelding trained by Patrick Caboche is the early favourite in this BM 58 over 1200m. He was a 2.25 length winner in a 0-58 Handicap over 1212m at Kyneton on 17 April, then ran a close 2nd in a tight finish over 1200m at Kyneton on 3 May. He doesn’t represent value at this short price.

Key Comments The track is rated heavy and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Becca (Beaudesert Race 2 No. 5) Led all the way for a length win over 1100m at Gatton on 20th December. That was her only start and she should be speedy enough to win again. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Decrypt (Beaudesert Race 6 No. 1) Runner-up at Toowoomba last start and looks
Horse Racing Tips: Hong Kong Wednesday 15th January 2025
Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the B position for the meeting and with no rain expected in the lead-up the surface should be good. The first race is at 6.40 pm Hong Kong time which is 9.40 pm AEST. Best Bet Northern Fire Ball (Happy Valley Race 7 No. 2) Won by 1.8 lengths at this track and distance on 26th December to break his maiden at start number 5. Zac
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Thursday 16th January 2025
Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet comes off a soft last start win and can take the leap from maiden grade. Best Bet Alliri (Kembla Grange Race 4 No. 5) Won nicely last start and despite the drift can take the next step here. Drawn wide but takes weight off with the claim and looks a progressive enough type to take this out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
