News Corp form analyst Brad Waters looks at Wednesday’s meeting at Mornington.

BEST BET

REGAL SECRET (Race 6 No.8 – $4.40)

Regal Secret has gone well in harder assignments recently and looks well suited back to Benchmark 64 level at Mornington.

NEXT BEST

VERDOUX (Race 3 No.3 – $3.90)

Verdoux has handled both tests well to date and will be fitter again for his third-up run. He can stay unbeaten.

SWEET JASMINE (Race 4 No.9 – $4.20)

Sweet Jasmine chased well when not far away first-up. She’ll be fitter and should go close again second-up.

VALUE BET

THE CARILLO (Race 7 No.8 – $16)

The Carillo fought on well for a solid second when resuming at the same track last time. No reason he won’t go well again.

THE JOCKEY

DAMIAN LANE

Jockey Damian Lane heads to Mornington for five rides on Wednesday. BELLE DETELLE (Race 1 No.9 – $1.95), SUMMER FLAME (Race 2 No.9 – $4.40), RETOURNE (Race 5 No.5 – $7), FINE REBEL (Race 6 No.10 – $19), MISS SUNSHINE (Race 7 No.10 – $4).
