Morphettville racing tips
—
Watadeel hasn’t been the most consistent type this preparation, but he scored a good win three back at Morphettville.
Facing a field of only five runners should be right up his alley, and the six-year-old could control the speed and kick nicely at the top of the straight.
Carrying 54kg should give him every chance.
Stake: 1 Unit
We’re going with winning form in this race with Burning Bright, who won her last two starts at Morphettville.
The five-year-old mare by Fiorente should relish the rise in distance, and being by Fiorente, she’s bred to be a stayer.
It’s a tough field but dropping to 53.5kg should see her run close.
Stake: 1.5 Units
The three-year-old son of Fierce Impact is on debut after looking good in a recent trial, and there are no superstars in this field.
He finished close in a trial at Murray Bridge, which should be a good form guide, and late betting moves will be a good indicator.
He gets 1.5kg off his back to add to our confidence levels.
Stake: 1 Unit
Thunder Shoc has been well-backed in early betting markets at $3.90, and she’s good enough to get back to winning form.
The Will Clarken-trained mare has yet to finish worse than second in three starts at Morphettville, and we expect that to continue.
More money should come for her, so take the opening odds.
Stake: 2 Units
Thermodynamic showed good pace when winning at Murray Bridge three back, and his form since at Morphettville has been good enough.
The six-year-old son of Kodiac is only a four-time winner from 23 starts, but he’s never too far away, and being a past winner at the track helps.
He gets the inside draw, so he’s worth including in Morphettville racing picks.
Stake: 1 Unit
We’re not surprised to see Silent Emmy well-backed to win at $3, following two second placings from her last three starts.
The daughter of So You Think looked good earlier this prep when winning back-to-back races, so that form stacks up nicely.
It could be worth snapping up the odds before money comes for her late.
Stake: 2 Units
Zebella is a proven fresh up performer with six starts for two wins and two placings, so she goes on top of our picks.
The six-year-old ended last prep with some moderate form, but it did include a couple of placings, and she likes to hit the ground running.
Punters get each-way odds, so include her in picks.
Stake: 1.5 Units
The odds for Ice Symphony to go back-to-back are worth taking, even though his last win came only at Bordertown.
He won easily by two lengths, and that run should get his confidence levels back after struggling at Morphettville and Murray Bridge.
This race is wide open, and he should give punters a good sight.
Stake: 1 Unit
Boasting three wins from her last six starts is Hot Strut, who is good enough to turn the tables on her most recent effort for sixth.
She was much better when winning consecutive races at this track before that failure and getting 1.5kg off her back is ideal.
Back her to bounce back in fine style at each-way odds.
Stake: 1 Unit
