Feature racing south of the border this weekend is at Mornington and that’s where The Race Club’s Adam Curkpatrick is going for his Saturday best bet.
The racing expert has his eyes on a speedy 3YO in the 1600m Mornington Guineas.
Best Bet
Race 6, 1600m
Mornington Guineas
Dashing ($3.70, $1.60)
Dashing should have won the Morphettville Guineas when back behind a sluggish tempo.
He was then very good from a forward position with Meech taking the reins.
She sticks and although drawn outside, I’d expect an aggressive enough ride to have Dashing up there in running and is the one to beat.
Tip: Win
Value Bet
Race 3, 1000m
Senegalia ($8.00, $2.70)
Senegalia as ran down at The Valley two back before improving that figure to what she had shown prior in the prep.
The drop to 1000m from 1100m was a winning formula when 3UP and I believe suits on what she did up the straight last start.
There is speed drawn from in to out and I believe she is best placed to capitalise.
Ranveer ($3.60) appears the main danger on the back of very tidy lead in work.
