Mornington Race 2 - Race Day Medical Mdn Plate
TOP CONTI (4) stuck on well here when last seen for third in an improved effort. Had shown early promise and should be fitter for that run now. Rolls forward with Ethan Brown aboard and rates highly here. JUST BASIL (1) was much better second up at Sale, sent out a big price but doing well to grab second. Respecting this time around. VANTAA (10) is a St Mark's Basilica gelding on debut for the Matt Laurie yard. He's trialled well for this and strikes a nice race first time out, should measure right up. ARYNA (11) presents third up and could be an improver up in trip, she'll get back and be running on.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by St Mark's Basilica out of Tuusula. Ran 3rd in a Sandown-Hillside jump-out on September 10. Makes debut on home track and can make an immediate impact despite a tricky draw.
