Small but quality field for this year’s Mornington Cup, and the top 4 horses on the list look very even. Going to focus in on the riders in this race, as every horse should have their chance in a small field. Billy Egan rates top on Defibrillate, and he is the value of the four runners. The horse has a great turn of foot to round the field when it matters, and is a big chance to take out the Cup. WIlliams rates well on Crystal Pegasus, who just keeps winning for Waller. He will be finishing well also. And then some strong numbers for the likely leader in Sacramento and Pondus, with high ranking riders and a strong SFR (Stat Freak Rating). If the rails are hot, Sacramento is a great chance to pinch it. Overall sticking with the value and the top ranked rider on Defibrillate.
Good Luck

| NO | NAME | COMMENT |
| 1 | Defibrillate | Billy Egan rates top in this race, and the horse is racing very well this prep. Falls out the back early, but has a great turn of foot and can take this field in one swoop. Huge chance to stun them all at odds. |
| 2 | Pondus | Eye catching win last start, and with the top turn of foot in the race there is nothing to suggest he won’t be able to produce that run again on the backpack. Mid field, Dee rates third in the race, surely on the podium. |
| 3 | Sacramento | Looks the obvious leader, and without a heap of pace in the race he is a solid chance to turn ahead. Great win in a tough race last start in Canberra, and Oliver rates fourth amongst the hoops. Expect to see him run well and could surprise at a price also. |
| 4 | Crystal Pegasus | Can’t fault anything with this guy in his last few starts. Williams rates second in this race, and goes well from coming from the rear. Expect to see an early run for home and be in the finish. |
| 5 | White Hawk | Drawn well, but likely to fall out the back early, and its pretty tough from there. |
| 6 | Dadoozdart | Have to respect the rider and stable combining, and the horse is honest and unlucky not to win in Canberra. Decent turn of foot, but the data suggests that this field might string him out just a bit in the middle stages. Tough race for him, but can’t see him running badly. |
| 7 | Corbulo | Might get out of the gate OK, but the data suggests this will be a hard race for him. Hope he can keep up. |
