Morphettville racing tips

—

Race 1. (12:07) Festival Hire Maiden (1000m)

#9 - Chisholm @ $1.70

BET NOW

Chisholm ran second on debut at Flemington behind Within the Law, and that form has been franked in the biggest 2YO races.

The two-year-old filly by I Am Invincible is bred to speed, and we’re not surprised by the short odds from bookmakers.

She’s worth including in multis in the opener.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 2. (12:42) Same Race Multi BM66 (2250m)

#3 - Party Crasher @ $1.60

BET NOW

Party Crasher is another short-priced favourite to open the card, but there’s nothing wrong with a Chisolm/Party Crasher multi.

The Michael Hickmott-trained gelding won easily at Morphettville last start, and rising in distance only helps his chances.

There aren’t many good rivals in this field, so he should dominate.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 3. (13:17) Sportsbet Handicap (1400m)

#2 - Even Sharper @ $4.40

BET NOW

Even Sharper is taking his sweet time to win another race, but after finishing second last time out, he should be ready to fire.

The four-year-old son of More than Ready gets 2kg off his back and his opening odds of $6.50 were taken quickly.

He should get a nice run in transit, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (13:52) PFD Food Services Handicap (1550m)

#2 - Godzilla @ $7.00

BET NOW

Looking to cap off consistent form is Godzilla, who comes off a second placing at Doomben, and coming to Adelaide could result in an overdue win.

The four-year-old son of Shalaa is only a two-time winner from 21 starts, but he never runs a bad race, and being in a new stable could spark things.

He’s worth including at the current each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:27) Dominant 0MW (1400m)

#6 - Synchro @ $3.50

BET NOW

Synchro looked good winning at Morphettville to start this preparation before doing well to finish third last time out.

The four-year-old son of Niagara was only 1.6 lengths behind the winner, and he’ll only be better for the experience.

Getting in with 55.5kg on his back should make him tough to hold out.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:02) Murray & Bob Stewart Anniversary BM64 (1250m)

#9 - Big Brute @ $4.40

BET NOW

It’s good to see money come for Big Brute, who won his only fresh up start, and he could hit the ground running on Saturday.

The three-year-old son of Brutal also has a placing at Flemington behind Detroit City, so he has form around some smart types.

Getting the inside draw with 3kg off his back is ideal.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 7. (15:42) Frank White's 80 Birthday BM72 (1300m)

#6 - I Am Velvet @ $2.90

BET NOW

We’re not sure what went wrong with I Am Velvet at Flemington last start after looking so good winning fresh up at Sandown.

She is a smart filly at her best, and it could have been second-up syndrome. We’re prepared to give her another chance at this level.

Getting the inside draw could help her switch on and lead throughout.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (16:22) Jockey Watch BM78 (1000m)

#12 - Sir Now @ $3.70

BET NOW

Sir Now is on the quick back up following a tough run when carrying 63kg last Saturday and dropping to 53kg is a massive difference.

The thee-year-old meets a field with more depth, but the weight relief will feel great, and we like the way he stuck to his guns.

We’re not surprised to see money come for him.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 9. (16:58) The Fotobase Group BM64 (1250m)

#2 - Kinetic Jewel @ $8.50

BET NOW

Value is with Kinetic Jewel, who has good second-up form with three starts for a win and a placing.

The four-year-old daughter of Rubick is also a two-time winner at Morphettville, and there are no standout bets in this race.

She’s good enough to take advantage and give punters a good sight.

Stake: 1 Unit
