Mornington Race 3 - Betavet Mdn Plate
SASSY FOR SURE (11) impressed narrowly beaten on a dry track at Caulfield-Heath on debut and then didn't have the best of it at Sandown-Hillside first-up, when expected to need it anyway. This suits, and she jumps from the inside barrier. Sharp improvement is anticipated. ST EDWARD (8) debuts and is also in good hands. He won a recent jumpout at Cranbourne and maps for the run-of-the-race. CASUAL GHAI (1) resumes gelded and looked on song winning a jumpout here. The local has shown enough to make the finish. SULEK (9) debuts and has two metro jumpout wins under the saddle. Looks promising, and a bold run is likely.

Resuming. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Caulfield 2yo Hcp May 3 over 1400m, 7 len behind Kaleo with 55kg at $7. On debut sixth of 8 at Cranbourne 2yo SW March 28 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Stay Cosmic with 58kg at $3.80. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Expected to feature.

Dominic Sutton trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut and was purchased for NZD $ 420,000 (NZB 2024 Ready 2 Run Sale). Won a recent Caulfield Heath trial. The betting will be key.
