| Where | Mornington Racecourse – 320 Racecourse Rd, Mornington VIC 3931 |
| When | Sunday, November 5, 2023 |
| First Race | 1pm AEDT |
Mornington Racecourse is the destination for racing in Victoria on Sunday afternoon. The $100,000 Peninsula Cup (1600m) is the feature event in what looks to be a competitive nine-race meeting. Perfect racing conditions await, with the rail set true on a track that is expected to remain at a Good 4 rating. Sunday’s meeting is set to commence at 1pm AEDT.
Peninsula Cup Tip: Electric Belle
The Alex Rae-trained Electric Belle has been consistent of late, running competitive races behind some nice types. The six-year-old mare may not have won in some time, but this race sets up perfectly for the Power mare to blouse her rivals. With Rhinoceros and Rambler Rebel set to make this a genuinely run 1600m, Electric Belle should have no issue rounding the field up with a strong finishing burst.

Race 8 – 
#5 Electric Belle (4)
6yo Mare | T: Alex Rae | J: Will Price (54kg)
Best Bet at Mornington: Gallant Prince
Stepping back from stakes company, the Clayton Douglas-trained Gallant Prince looks set to break maiden ranks at start four. The three-year-old colt was narrowly defeated by Kosgei two runs back at Bendigo before being outclassed in the Listed Exford Plate (1400m) at Flemington. From barrier two, Beau Mertens can take luck out of the equation and have Gallant Prince leading from barrier to box.
Best Bet
Race 3 – 
#4 Gallant Prince (2)
3yo Colt | T: Clayton Douglas | J: Beau Mertens (58kg)
Next Best at Mornington: Lady Di Di
Cliff Brown’s Lady Di Di is sure to appreciate a drop back in grade to a country-level BM64 following some nice runs in town. He ran into the in-form Lempicka at Sandown first-up before chasing home the classy Dancing Alone at Caulfield on October 18. This is considerably easier than those two races, hence the price we are getting. With plenty of pace in the race, Ben Allen can sit just off the speed, and with a swift turn of foot, Lady Di Di should prove too good for her rivals.

Race 6 – 
#6 Lady Di Di (6)
4yo Mare | T: Cliff Brown | J: Ben Allen (58.5kg)
Best Value at Mornington: The Javelin
Racing for the Dean Binaisse barn, The Javelin looks a nice each-way play in the final race of the day. The six-year-old gelding was seemingly in need of his first-up run at Echuca when well held, but we expect he will bounce back in fine fashion at Mornington. Remi Tremsal will have the son of Unencumbered doing as he pleases out in the lead. The Javelin will look to break his rivals’ hearts, and at a big price, it is worth finding out if he can.
Best Value
Race 9 – 
#6 The Javelin (8)
5yo Gelding | T: Dean Binaisse | J: Remi Tremsal (60.5kg)
