Morphettville racing tips

—

Race 1. (12:24) Canadian Club BM66 (1100m)

#1 – Golden Horizon @ $2.90

BET NOW

Golden Horizon has made a good start to his career with a win and two placings, and there’s nothing wrong with that form.

It’s not an easy field on Saturday, but the three-year-old son of Sebring Sun should give punters a good sight in the opener.

Include him in picks before the odds shorten.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (12:59) Winning Edge Presentations C2 (1050m)

#4 – Mesrour @ $8.00

BET NOW

Mesrour is only a one-time winner from 12 starts, but the four-year-old is good enough to handle this field.

The son of Nicconi gets all favours off the inside draw with weight coming off his back, and he’s quick enough to figure in the finish at nice odds.

Given the $8 available, we’re happy to back him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:34) Thomas Farms Maiden (1200m)

#7 – Strong Minded @ $7.00

BET NOW

Punters get each-way value for Strong Minded, who wasn’t too far away at Morphettville fresh up, and there is good improvement to come.

The five-year-old gelding by Toronado looked better when running second at Gawler, and that should be a tidy form guide.

Luck is needed from out wide, but he’s a good chance to win if it comes.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:09) Sportsbet Same Race Multi BM72 (2006m)

#4 – Guru Warrior @ $2.30

BET NOW

Money has come for Guru Warrior, who turned his form around to win at Morphettville last time out.

The four-year-old son of Saxon Warrior enjoyed the rise in distance, and increasing to 2006m won’t worry him one bit.

Barrier four is ideal, so the odds could keep shortening.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (14:44) Skycity Handicap (1100m)

#7 – Dapper Don @ $8.00

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds for Dapper Don, who broke maidens three back at Morphettville before running solid races in defeat.

The four-year-old son of Harry Angel ran third last time out, and getting 3kg off his back could make all the difference.

There isn’t much between this field, so $8 is a good price.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:19) Peter Elberg Funerals BM78 (1050m)

#1 – Sixteen Reasons @ $5.50

BET NOW

Sixteen Reasons had no luck in the run to the line last time out, so we’re prepared to forgive that effort.

She got back in the run after missing the start, but she hunted the rail and looked to be travelling before getting shut out of a gap.

Money has come for her, which isn’t surprising, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (16:00) Hill Smith Stakes (1800m)

#6 – Golden Guru @ $4.40

BET NOW

Golden Guru might not have won a race, but he looks good enough to turn his form around with a stakes win.

The three-year-old colt by Toronado ran a close third behind Safe Bet last time out, and it’s good to see money come for him.

Race day betting will be a good guide, so keep an eye on the market.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:42) Freeman Wauchope Timber BM70 (1200m)

#4 – Shady Thinker @ $3.20

BET NOW

Form is with Shady Thinker, who kicked off his career with back-to-back wins before finishing fourth at Morphettville.

The four-year-old son of So You Think didn’t have much luck from a wide draw last start, so that was a forgive run.

We’re happy to back him in a fresh state.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 9. (17:27) Access Hardware BM70 (1200m)

#7 – Hypernova @ $6.50

BET NOW

Boasting two wins from his last four starts is Hypernova, who scored at Morphettville by a nose last time out.

That was a busy finish, so it was a tough performance, and his best form comes over the distance with seven starts for two wins and three placings.

He’s paying nice odds with bookmakers, so he goes into the mix.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 10. (18:02) Jockey Watch Handicap (1600m)

#3 – Sachem @ $5.00

BET NOW

Looking to cap off consecutive placings with a win is Sachem, who runs his best races at Morphettville with 11 starts for two wins and four placings.

He’s never too far away from the prize at the circuit, and he only needs a touch of early luck from a wide barrier.

Take the odds before late money comes for him.

Stake: 1 Unit
