CAULFIELD HEATH   20 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

MRC Mornington Summer of Racing Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 6m 1600m - 1050m, True Remainder.  

Moderate pace with Mixxit taking up the running ahead of Enchanted Jenni and Angland. MIXXIT (2) was first up at this distance at Cranbourne and ran a good race for second, beaten 1.5 lengths. He put a few on the bounce last time in and should be much fitter for that run. Drawn wide here but he'll keep rolling forward and take plenty of catching. ENCHANTED JENNI (9) comes through the same race, fading late to finish a narrow fifth. She'd won three in a row prior and sets up well from the good gate. Can bounce back quickly. MISS PLAYLOUNGE (11) struggled in a better race at Pakenham but is back in the right race and has each way claims. It wouldn't shock if SEAFALL (5) improved. They went very slowly in front at Ballarat fresh, her splits were as good as they could be and undersold the 5.5 length defeat. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Seafall each-way.
