Morphettville Racing Tips for Saturday, May 16th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Morphettville on Saturday, which includes nine races at the premier meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the South Australian meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (12:07) The Dominant Advantage BM66 (1950m)

#1 – Romans Luck @ $3.00

Romans Luck wasn’t far away when running third fresh up, and that form should be good enough for this race.

The five-year-old owns two wins and five placings from 11 starts, and getting 3kg off his back could be enough to see him win.

It’s not a strong field, and he could take advantage.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (12:42) The Fotobase Group Maiden (1400m)

#8 – Wine Snob @ $10.00

BET NOW

Punters get double-figure odds for Wine Snob, who owns three placings from four career starts.

The three-year-old son of Peltzer has yet to race at the track, but his form at Murray Bridge bodes well, and he could run better than odds suggest.

Include him in picks at the current odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:17) Aceit Transport Solutions BM64 (1550m)

#3 – Brave Star @ $6.00

BET NOW

Brave Star didn’t get much room last time out when running third, and he could run a similar race here.

The eight-year-old has a wealth of experience to call on, and he has one win and three placing from 10 starts at the track.

Barrier four is ideal, so he will get all favours in the run.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (13:52) Sportsbet Jockey Watch C2 (1400m)

#2 – Sparkling Luck @ $3.30

BET NOW

Lloyd Kennewell lines up Sparking Luck, who owns a win and three placings from eight starts.

The three-year-old son of Pierro won well at Sandown earlier this preparation before placing at Cranbourne two starts back.

The $3.30 odds could firm to around $2.70 on race day, so take the current price.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (14:27) AIG Security BM64 (1250m)

#7 – Snallygaster @ $2.35

BET NOW

Money has come for Snallygaster, who scored well at Oakbank fresh up before placing at Morphettville.

The three-year-old of Stratum Star was only a length behind High on the Hill last start, which is an excellent form guide for this level of racing.

We priced him at $1.80, so the odds are generous.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 6. (15:02) Happy 80th Bruce Perry BM66 (1550m)

#3 – Kalmana @ $6.00

BET NOW

Kalmana is nearing a win this preparation after four good efforts, and this race is there for the taking.

The three-year-old gelding by Microphone loves racing at the track with four starts for a win and two placings, so the form checks out.

Getting the inside draw and 2kg off his back adds to his appeal.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (15:42) Sportsbet Same Race Multi BM78 (1000m)

#8 – Out of Square @ $5.50

BET NOW

Out of Square is a proven fresh up performer with two wins from three fresh up starts, and she could hit the ground running.

The four-year-old mare by Hellbent owns five wins from 13 starts overall, and dropping to 52kg makes her tough to hold out.

If she gets luck from the draw, she should go close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (16:22) Sportsbet Fast Form BM74 (1300m)

#5 – Tosen Water @ $7.00

BET NOW

Tosen Water is nearing a win after back-to-back second placings, and she loves racing at this track.

The six-year-old mare by Tosen Stardom owns three wins and five placings from 11 starts at Morphettville, so the form checks out.

Punters get value odds, so include her for value.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (17:00) M&J Chickens BM64 (1250m)

#9 – Brand Her Bold @ $10.00

BET NOW

We’re taking the double-figure odds for Brand Her Bold, who was too good for them at Morphettville last time out.

The three-year-old filly by Highland Reel will need luck from a wide draw, but she will likely settle back and storm home late.

The odds are juicy enough to include in horse racing picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
