Mornington Race 6 - Sportsbet Peninsula Cup
PRESSER (5) gets the nod on his stronger overall profile, with the Caulfield third two starts ago showing he can be highly competitive around this level when right. The ninth last start was plain, but he's third-up, has won at this track and distance and gets a lovely weight swing on LIM'S SALTORO (1). He does bring the best recent black-type form after thirds in the Listed Seymour Cup and Listed Testa Rossa Stakes and blinkers on from a good draw suggest intent. WONDER BOY (2) has been well held in two runs back, yet this is easier than the Listed Weekend Hussler Stakes and he is already a track-and-trip winner with Jamie Mott returning. RESET THE JAZZ (6) has to lift from Coonamble, but his third in a BM84 at this track two back reads well enough for a placing. AZTEC RULER (3) is a minor hope but struggles to win.

Has been holding form strongly in black-type company, finishing third in the Listed Seymour Cup at Seymour after beginning awkwardly and being beaten just over a length by Wymark. The run prior was another solid third in the Listed Testa Rossa Stakes at Caulfield, where he was an outside chance in the betting but finished within a length and a half of Regal Zeus. Bit of weight but sets up well otherwise.

Has been slow away and well held in both runs this campaign, finishing last in the Listed Weekend Hussler Stakes at Caulfield after making no impression late. The run prior was also plain in the G2 Bobbie Lewis Quality at Flemington, albeit over 1200m and at long odds. This is easier than Saturday company, first-time blinkers go on, and he has won at this track and distance. Can improve now.

Backs up quickly after a third in the Listed Sale Cup on heavy ground, where he led to the turn and was beaten just under four lengths by Makdane despite being unwanted in the market. His previous run in the Listed Paris Lane Stakes was safely held, with a slow start leaving him well back before he made no impression. Place chance.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last in the Listed Testa Rossa Stakes at Caulfield, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market with no clear excuse. His previous run in the Listed Anniversary Vase was also soundly held when tenth, and he is unplaced from six starts in the past 12 months. Risking.

Looks well placed to bounce back third-up, with his close BM84 third at Caulfield two runs ago showing he remains right up to this when he brings his best finish. Last start at Caulfield was below his level, beaten seven lengths after offering little, but the class drop, weight relief and proven record at this track and distance all help reset the case. Gets in well and should go close.

Was below his best at Coonamble last start, finishing seventh and beaten four and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market, with no obvious excuse. The run prior was more encouraging in a BM84 at this track, where he led and was just unable to hold on when third on soft ground. Minor chance.
