Morphettville racing tips

Race 1. (12:37) Fleurieu Milk Company Maiden (1000m)

#11 – Artistic Angel @ $3.20

Artistic Angel is a three-year-old filly that ran second at Murray Bridge two back before finishing fifth at Morphettville.

The daughter of Flying Artie comes off a trial win at Murray Bridge, so she’s ready to fire, and that’s reflected in betting markets.

Carrying 54kg is ideal, so put her on top.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (13:12) Dominant Handicap (1400m)

#1 – Watadeel @ $4.00

Watadeel didn’t fire last time out at Murray Bridge, but he’s a much better runner that what he showed there.

The six-year-old son of Dundeel is a four-time winner overall, and he’s has the top weight for a good reason.

His class could be enough to turn his form around.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:47) Set a Deposit Limit BM78 (1000m)

#1 – Beast Mode @ $2.20

Beast Mode was heavily backed last time out when running second, and we’re happy to give him another chance at $2.20 odds.

The six-year-old son of Better than Ready owns six wins and six placings overall, and he doesn’t mind a bit of moisture in the surface.

Getting 2kg off his back is enough to see him win.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 4. (14:22) Jockey Watch BM76 (2250m)

#6 – Lavish Thinker @ $6.50

Looking to go one better than his last-start second placing is Lavish Thinker, who is long overdue a winning performance.

The six-year-old is only a two-time winner overall, but he’s much better than that, so we’re happy to give him another chance.

Look for him to settle back and finish off strongly.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:57) Sportsbet Handicap (1000m)

#2 – Bristler @ $4.60

Bristler is threatening to win a race this preparation after finishing second at Morphettville last time out.

The six-year-old son of Zebedee is better than a three-time winner, and he owns a win and three placings at Morphettville, which helps.

Weight comes off his back, so we’re happy to back him at each-way odds.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (15:37) Winning Edge Presentations Handicap (1950m)

#12 – Rikki Rikkardo @ $8.00

Running at value odds is Rikki Rikkardo, who won three back before placing at Morphettville last time out.

The five-year-old mare by Frosted has yet to win in two attempts at the track, but she gets everything in her favour here.

She drops to 52kg off the inside draw, so we’re backing her.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:12) PFD Food Services BM72 (1250m)

#1 – Colmar @ $2.90

Colmar loves racing at Morphettville with two wins and two placings, which is good enough form to handle this field.

The four-year-old also love racing on soft tracks, boasting a win and four placings from six starts, so there are some positives.

Money has come for him, which is a good sign.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (16:47) Quayclean C2 (1400m)

#3 – Gallant Prince @ $4.00

Clayton Douglas lines up Gallant Prince, who owns two wins and six placings from 14 career starts.

The five-year-old son of Trapeze Artist will need some luck from barrier nine, but if that luck comes, he should go close.

Coming to South Australia should see his winning form return.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 9. (17:25) The Fotobase Handicap (1250m)

#9 – Immortal Shield @ $23.00

Immortal Shield looks to go one better than his last start, which was a second placing at Murray Bridge.

The four-year-old son of I Am Immortal have finished in the first two in four starts, so there’s nothing wrong with his record.

Take the $23 odds as a value price.

Stake: 1 Unit
