Mornington Race 5 - Evergreen Turf (Bm62)
INVINCIBLE LOVER (5) sets the benchmark off a first-up third at Cranbourne in BM66 grade, where she was beaten just over a length after settling back and finishing strongly. Her 1000m profile is the strongest in the field, with one win and four places from five starts at the distance, and she has placed in all six career runs. Finds an ideal race, rates clear. MISS COTOLETTA (1) resumes off two trials, has a solid 1000m record and can run a forward race. ILOVEDIAMONDS (3) rises in grade but is hard to knock off back-to-back wins. Could take the next step. CATCH IT KISS IT (4) resumes after showing promise in a short maiden campaign, winning here on debut. Keep safe.

Returns from a three-month break after a plain finish at Sandown-Hillside, where she was last in a FM BM74 on heavy ground and beaten over 14 lengths after fading right out. Her Morphettville fourth in BM64 grade before that was much sounder, beaten just over two lengths after racing keenly. Sandown-Hillside flop was poor, but her 1000m record gives her an each way hope.

Arrives in winning form after putting away Bella Cinque by just over two lengths in a BM56 at this track, travelling smoothly and quickening clear. That followed a five-length Mdn win at Mildura, so confidence is high, and the 2kg claim helps offset the tougher assignment. Rises from BM56 grade, but race fitness and the 2kg claim keep her in play.

Returns from a six-month spell with only two race starts behind her, so there is still some upside if she is forward enough. She was seventh in a BM62 at Werribee before the break, beaten three and a half lengths after racing wide, while her debut win at this track came at big odds in a Mdn. Has upside but market best guide fresh.

Returns from a five-week freshening after an excellent first-up third in BM66 grade at Cranbourne, where she was bumped early, settled back and still finished strongly to be beaten just over a length by Magnabelle Royale. Her distance record is a major strength, with one win and four places from five starts at 1000m, and she has placed in all six career runs. Proven at 1000m, sharper now and looks exceptionally placed from the gate.

Returns from an eight-month spell after a Pakenham seventh over 1400m, where she was unwanted in the market and failed to quicken when beaten three and a half lengths. She did win a Pakenham trial two weeks ago, which suggests some readiness, but her two previous 1000m attempts have produced no placings. Market best guide.

Was last in a BM56 at this track 10 days ago, beaten six and a half lengths by Ilovediamonds after settling back and never threatening. She rises from BM56 grade and her longer-term profile is a concern, with no placings from 13 starts in the past 12 months. Recent record makes her hard to recommend.
