Morphettville racing tips

—

Race 1. (12:57) M&J Chickens BM80 (1600m)

#5 – Rhinoceros @ $9.00

BET NOW

It’s about time Rhinoceros put his best foot forward, and it doesn’t come much easier than this race.

The seven-year-old gelding has struggled to find his best in Victoria, but he has ability, and it’s not a strong BM80 field.

Punters should expect an improved effort.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (13:32) Adelaide Cup Day 9 March Handicap (1800m)

#4 – Flaming Eyes @ $9.00

BET NOW

Flaming Eyes couldn’t quite make it three on the bounce last start, but she lost no admirers when running second.

The four-year-old mare by Street Boss owns two wins and six placings from 16 starts, and she’s in career-best form this season.

We’re happy to include her in picks at the price.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (14:02) Ule Hoof Oil BM64 (1050m)

#2 – Intellectual @ $2.90

BET NOW

Intellectual showed good pace when winning on debut at Morphettville, and he has gone close in two subsequent runs.

The three-year-old son of Written By gets another run at the track, and that experience could be enough to get him over the line.

We expect money to come for him on race day, so take the opening odds.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (14:42) Michael and Virginia Wedding Anniversary Handicap (1522m)

#8 – Zarkana @ $8.50

BET NOW

Looking to get back to winning form is Zarkana, who showed them a clean pair of heels at Gawler fresh up.

The five-year-old mare by Trapeze Artist has been beaten in four runs since, but this race is there for the taking, and she should enjoy this level of racing.

Look for her to settle back and finish strongly.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:17) Sportsbet Cinderella Stakes (1050m)

#2 – La Gitana @ $5.00

BET NOW

La Gitana ran well for third on debut at Caulfield behind one of the leading Blue Diamond Stakes chances in Big Sky.

The three-year-old filly by Home Affairs meets an easier field here at stakes level, and it’s a good chance to pick up some black type.

We expect her to roll forward and be tough to run down.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (15:52) Daniel Mini Balfour Memorial BM64 (1050m)

#12 – Runaway Belle @ $9.00

BET NOW

Punters get value odds for Runaway Belle, who ran fourth at Murray Bridge fresh up.

The six-year-old mare by Pariah owns two wins and five placings overall, including two second placings at Morphettville.

Getting in with 55kg is enough to take her close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:27) Lord Reims Stakes (2600m)

#2 – Komachi @ $6.50

BET NOW

Komachi is a nine-time winner throughout his lengthy career, and four of those wins have come at Morphettville.

The eight-year-old son of Kingman scored a win here last time out, and if he can repeat that effort, he should win again.

Punters get value odds to include in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (17:07) City of Marion Stakes (1200m)

#1 – Compelling Truth @ $4.60

BET NOW

Compelling Truth is having his first run in South Australia, and this level of opposition should be right up his alley.

The six-year-old ran second behind Angel Capital last preparation, which is a genuine Group 1 star, so the form checks out.

61kg isn’t easy, but his class and being a 12-time winner warrants attention.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 9. (17:49) Adelaide Galvanising Industries Handicap (1200m)

#4 – Clarence @ $7.50

BET NOW

Clarence hasn’t been too far away from the prize this preparation, including a third at Morphettville last time out.

The six-year-old son of Sir Prancelot runs well at this track with nine starts for two wins and three placings, which is a good record.

He’s a solid bet against an even field.

Stake: 1 Unit
