Race 6 — Sportsbet Peninsula Cup 1600m · jumps

Race preview

Welcome to Mornington for the running of the Sportsbet Peninsula Cup, a cracking Open Handicap clash over the 1600m on a Good 4 surface under overcast skies. Punters looking at the early win market order see Wonder Boy holding top billing, closely followed by Lim's Saltoro, Presser, Aztec Ruler, Reset The Jazz, and Charterhouse rounding them out. It shapes as a fascinating tactical battle over the mile with plenty of stories written across the form lines as the field gets set to jump at 4:00 pm AEDT.

Taking a closer look at the form behind those shorter prices, Lim's Saltoro for trainer D Meagher jumps from barrier 3 with Craig Newitt in the saddle, carrying 60kg after going up 4.5kg. This runner comes off consistent minor placings in listed company, including sticking on well at Seymour over this exact trip and a solid effort at Caulfield. Meanwhile, market leader Wonder Boy returns from a spell at Listed level where things didn't quite pan out at Caulfield, but the Jerome Hunter-trained galloper gets Jamie Mott from barrier 5 and knows this Mornington track well with past success at the distance. Presser for Gavin Bedggood sits handy from barrier 1 with Jett Stanley aboard, looking ready to peak third-up after chasing hard at Caulfield previously.

For those chasing a bit more value down the yarn, Reset The Jazz brings an intriguing profile for trainers Ben, Will & Jd Hayes, dropping a hefty 7.5kg in weight from the last start and mapping forward alongside Lim's Saltoro from barrier 4 with Jye McNeil doing the steering. Aztec Ruler is another on a quick back-up for M M Laurie after placing bravely in the Sale Cup over 1600m on a Heavy 10, though that long losing streak suggests he will need to lift again against this lot. With speed mapped to come from the leaders upfront and backmarkers like Wonder Boy hoping to weave a passage late, it should make for a terrific spectacle for racegoers and punters alike.

AAP

Forwardly placed, continued to stick on at Seymour over this trip. Usually prominent. Commands attention here.

ILB

Competitive effort when 3rd last start at Seymour and suited at this distance in the past. Shows good early pace. Going well this preparation but rises in weight. Should go well.

RP

All ten wins have been at around this trip; good effort when 1l third in a Listed handicap (Seymour) three weeks ago; been struggling to get his head in front recently so there are better alternatives here.

RSIS

Was competitive when 3rd last run at Seymour and will be well suited at the distance. Displays good tactical pace. Producing consistent results since resuming from a break. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Sent out $31 when never got into the race at Caulfield second-up. Back from Listed level. Winner at track and distance. Capable of better.

ILB

Was nothing special when 14th last time at Caulfield. May see an upturn in form and strong performer at this distance in the past. Jamie Mott is a plus. Holds a major chance.

RP

Finished last of 14 at Caulfield over 7f (Listed handicap) 22 days ago; has scored over C&D; useful at this level; every chance as he clearly knows how to get his head in front and lower class is a plus.

RSIS

Unsatisfactory performance when 14th last start at Caulfield. Has the talent to rebound quickly and proven performer at this distance. Jamie Mott is a suitable booking. Rises in weight. Very tidy performer.

On a quick back-up. Long losing streak. Relinquished lead but did enough to place in the Sale Cup at Sale. Needs to lift again here.

ILB

Racing on a quick back up. Ran out of steam towards the end when 3rd last run at Sale on a heavy surface but will have to carry extra weight. Hard to entertain.

RP

Not beaten far when third at 20-1 in a Listed handicap at Sale a week ago; now dropping in class and deserves respect.

RSIS

On a short back up. Grabbed towards the finish when 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last time at Sale but will have to carry extra weight.

Kept fresh. Never in the call at Caulfield off long spell. Fitter and capable of better second-up. Easier race off Listed assignment.

ILB

Started at $101.00 and tailed off to finish 9th last start at Caulfield but competing in a less challenging grade. Has a positive barrier. Needs to find a lot more.

RP

Last of nine over 7f at Caulfield (Listed race) behind Lim's Saltoro, five weeks ago; dropping in class now and should prove competitive.

RSIS

Odds of 100/1 and didn't find the line when 9th last time at Caulfield but back in an easier grade. Has a positive draw.

Went home tamely at Caulfield when second-up at $17. Ready to peak third-up. Can challenge.

ILB

Started $17.00 and weakened to finish 9th last run at Caulfield. Looking past the last run and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Competing at a higher class. Rates as one of the key chances.

RP

Ninth of 12 over 7f at Caulfield (handicap) last month; boasts winning form over C&D; easy to oppose.

RSIS

Started 16/1 and looked outclassed when 9th last time at Caulfield. Expecting improvement and drawn by the rails. Facing formidable rivals. Goes down in weight. Some respect.

Sent forward but flat-footed when things got serious at Coonamble over this distance. Right in this.

ILB

Was $7.00 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last time at Coonamble but dropping weight. Should jump out and bowl along. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Pass at this stage.

RP

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Coonamble (beaten 4½l) last month; a proven winner with a career wins-runs record of 7-33.

RSIS

Started 6/1 and folded up in the straight when 7th last run at Coonamble but gets some weight taken off. Shows good early pace. Challenged by more formidable competitors.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
