Saturday Racing Tips - Mornington Racecourse 19/04/25

Big racing continues at Mornington this Saturday, with the Mornington Cup always a staple of the Victorian and Australian racing calendar.

OnlyRacing are on the hunt for all the best bets of the day and there are plenty of great punts to be had. 

(Note: Odds provided by Playup)

Selections:
2. Verdad - $2.40
4. Euphoric - $3.80
8. Fiasco Tess - $5.50

BEST BET - Verdad - $2.40
Having struggled at Moonee Valley last time out, Verdad will be hoping a return to Mornington can help it over the line here. It is the quality offering in this field and if it gets a clear run, stopping it could be tough.

THE DANGER - Euphoric - $3.80
Consistency remains the key aim for Euphoric, who can't see to string the results together needed to push its career on. This is a horse with heaps of potential though and it can't be written off in any race at this level.

VALUE BET - Fiasco Tess - $5.50
Trending in the right direction of late has been Fiasco Tess, a horse that has been sneaking ever closer to picking up a win in recent times and a good showing at Caulfield could prove telling ahead of this one.

Selections:
1. Vestas - $3.20
5. Thames - $5.00
3. Bridal Waltz - $6.50

BEST BET - Vestas - $3.20
A sublime start to its career from Vestas will be easily forgotten if it doesn't keep building on that and a poor showing at Flemington last time out rang a couple of alarm bells. However, this is a top horse and it is the favourite to win this one.

THE DANGER - Thames - $5.00
Three placings on the spin coming into this one give Thames a real shout in this field and it will relish both the trip and the going, making it more than a decent outside shot.

VALUE BET - Bridal Waltz - $6.50
Inconsistency reared its head once again for Bridal Waltz last time out, with an underwhelming run but it had been going very well prior to that and this trip and company feels very manageable for this horse.

Selections:
4. War Machine - $3.80
1. Oscar's Fortune - $5.50
6. Regal Vow - $8.00

BEST BET - War Machine - $3.80
The return of War Machine is sure to catch the eye here, with this horse having been off the track for more than 20 weeks. It's calibre speaks for itself and it should be in the mix with a clear run here at Mornington.

THE DANGER - Oscar's Fortune - $5.50
Ascertaining where Oscar's Fortune is at is not easy, with this horse having bagged some superb wins but having also put in some drab showings. It should be up for this one at Mornington though and the ground and trip will suit.

VALUE BET - Regal Vow - $8.00
Prospective challengers are lining up here and Regal Vow feels like the most likely to mount a proper charge. A very good placing at Caulfield last time out will be confidence boosting and it shouldn't be far away.
