Quick Analysis:

After two recent trials, Adora Djon's is back at Beaudesert, and there was a lot to like about her last prep. Sure, she’s short enough, currently going around the $1.55 mark, but she’s one to anchor your multi, I reckon. She finished third back in mid-June at Doomben, and with Cejay Graham back on board, she looks difficult to go past, especially with just 55kg on her back.

Quick Analysis:

Heading to Mornington now, and Ladhar looks pretty good value to me, currently going around the $4.00 mark. The filly broke her maiden last time out back in April at Pakenham, and she had one recent trial at Caulfield Heath in September (which she won). Ethan Brown saddles up for this one, and with only 56kg, Ladhar should be in this up to her eyeballs.

Quick Analysis:

Hoping Ethan Brown can help me go two-from-two today at Mornington. In the last race of the day, he is riding the favourite, Mr Sioux. The 4YO broke his maiden last time out at Warrnambool. That win was from barrier one, and he gets the same kind barrier draw this time out. This looks to be a reasonable jump up, but the track conditions are more suitable, and his recent form stacks up.

Stats and Insights

  • Peleus resumes after a 17-week spell and has won his trial ahead of his return. He can make a strong return in Race 4 at Illawarra Grange.
  • Bondi Star ran strongly to finish on the winner's heels at Northam first-up on a soft track. She can improve second-up as the favourite in Race 7 at Bunbury.
  • Lucand Magic led throughout for a dominant win at Wyong on debut and must be respected from this stable. He can claim back-to-back wins in Race 7 at Illawarra Grange.
