Welcome to Mornington for race seven on the card, the Sportsbet Green Tick (Bm56) over 1500m on a good four track under overcast skies. The win market lines up with Fearless Writer heading the quotes, closely followed by Rough Enuff, Two To Tango, and Diamanda rounding out the top markers in the early betting order.
The numbers jump off the page for Fearless Writer, who comes here off a sound runner-up effort over this exact track and trip when refusing to shirk the task. Rough Enuff rates a real chance after scoring smartly at Sale second-up and carrying plenty of weight here with Luke Nolen in the saddle, where the rider is outperforming career averages by a big margin. Two To Tango also brings appeal, having run on with conviction from the back half over 1200m at Swan Hill, with the rise in distance looking a distinct plus.
Down the line, So You Excel maps well at this track and is noted for outperforming market expectations by ten percent from the leader's lane. With plenty of speed types drawn across the field including Russian Roni and Nikephoros pressing forward, this 1500m test shapes as an absolute thriller. Check the final odds on track and back your judgment.

Well drawn inside
AAP
Accounted for rivals smartly at Sale when second-up. Plenty of weight but has talent and right in this.
ILB
Charged home to win last start at Sale on a heavy track and gets the perfect draw. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Very tidy performer.
RP
Has shown some recent improvement; came out on top by just over 1l at Sale over 7f (maiden) last month, getting off the mark at the sixth attempt; needs considering as recent form is thin on the ground in this contest.
RSIS
Dashed home to win last start at Sale and will appreciate a good stall. In the top three at every start lately and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Capable of winning this.

AAP
Broke maiden at Mornington 5 Apr. Taken back and safely held in shallow field this track off long break. Will be fitter second-up and rise in trip a plus.
ILB
Average effort when 7th last start around here but will find this grade easier. Showing consistent performance in races. Going up in weight.
RSIS
Not competitive when 7th last time at this venue but competing in a less challenging grade. Solid career start. Has to cope with a weight increase.

Ran on with some conviction from back half at Swan Hill when drifting in the betting second-up. More ground a plus. Well placed to make an impact here.

At $7.50 pushed past some when 4th last time at Swan Hill. Has a nice turn of foot. Will go close.
RP
Fair effort over 6f at Swan Hill (handicap) two weeks ago; slumped a bit since winning a maiden at Pakenham in March and form has an up and down look to it.
RSIS
Started at 13/2 and made some ground when 4th last run at Swan Hill. Displays good closing pace. Strong chance to be considered.

Iron horse. Solid 79.5kg winner at Cranbourne 9 Oct. Led, soon under pressure and dropped off this venue. Can play a role here.
ILB
Jumped at $13.00 and weakened under pressure when 7th last time at this venue. Capable of a strong comeback. Has the speed to overcome the wide barrier. Large claim helps. Solid claims.
RP
Has won here previously; finished seventh but wasn't beaten too far (just over 4l) over 6f here (handicap) last month; others more likely.
RSIS
Odds of 12/1 and didn't attack the line when 7th last time at the track. Should improve from the last run. Definite contender.

Jumped at $12.00 and finished 4th last time at Balranald but up against weaker rivals. Expecting to settle positively. Will have to carry more weight. Can measure up against these.
RP
Creditable effort in fourth (beaten less than a length) at Balranald over 7f (handicap) two weeks ago; he meets the required standard ability wise; big player as recent performance was encouraging.
RSIS
Started 11/1 and came in 4th last start at Balranald but lining up against easier rivals. Shows good early pace. Hoping that the added weight won't hurt. One of the value chances in this race.

First up after a break. Was $41.00 and lost ground in the run home when 11th last time at Murtoa. Tough ask.

Finished last of 11 at Murtoa over 1m (handicap) in July; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Ex Brendon Newport in Victoria. Finished out the back at Wangaratta over longer assignment at huge odds. Switching to 1500m. Has seen better days.

Odds of $151.00 and didn't threaten when 8th last time at Wangaratta but drawn nicely. First race for a new trainer but down in trip. Might be ridden for luck. Take on trust.

Beaten 16l in eighth at Wangaratta last month upped to 1m2f; shown only moderate recent form; first start for trainer; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.
