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) Sportsbet Photo Finish Refund Maiden (1200m)

#14 – Word Game @ $3.40

Looking to cap off consecutive placings with a win is Word Game, who ran third at Murray Bridge last time out.

The three-year-old filly by Grunt was no match for the winner, but she hit the line well enough to suggest a win is coming soon.

It’s a big field, but she should figure in the finish.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (12:42) Spry Civil Construction BM66 (1200m)

#3 – Tweeter @ $4.00

BET NOW

Tweeter showed good pace when winning at Morphettville two back in heavy conditions before running fourth last time out.

The two-year-old filly is strong enough to handle this field, and with 3kg coming off her back, she gets in with a good weight.

The $4 odds could firm on race day, so take the value.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:17) Carlton Draught BM70 (1800m)

#2 – Orlova @ $2.20

BET NOW

Orlova pulled out all the stops when scoring by a nose at Morphettville last time out, which should be a good form guide.

The three-year-old filly by Russian Camelot owns two wins and five placings from 10 starts, so it has been a successful career to date.

She gets a 3kg claimer riding, which adds to her appeal.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (13:52) The Boom Punters Club BM74 (1800m)

#3 – Placo @ $5.00

BET NOW

Placo has been all around the mark throughout his preparation, and he could get back to winning form.

The five-year-old is a five-time winner from 16 starts, and although he has yet or place at Murray Bridge, he could turn that form around.

We’re happy with the each-way odds available.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:27) Adelaide Galvanising Industries BM62 (1800m)

#2 – Bolted In @ $9.50

BET NOW

Punters get value odds for Bolted In, who didn’t fire last start, but his form prior was good enough to include in picks.

The five-year-old posted three consecutive placings at Morphettville and Murray Bridge, so having form on the board here is ideal.

Barrier two suits, so include at nice odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:07) Golden Grove Tavern Handicap (1600m)

#4 – Big Rooster @ $5.00

BET NOW

Big Rooster is already a two-time winner, including last time out at Ballarat in heavy conditions.

The four-year-old son of Shalaa is a two-time winner in heavy conditions, so the track won’t be an issue for him.

It’s an even betting field, so take the each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (15:42) Ridleys Plumbing Earthmoving and Civil BM80 (1200m)

#6 – Like a Drifter @ $2.00

BET NOW

Boasting an unbeaten campaign is Like a Drifter, who has been confidently backed to win on Saturday.

The three-year-old son of Omaha Beach scored three of those wins at Murray Bridge, and dropping to 54kg makes him tough to beat.

Take the odds before he firms to around $1.70.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (16:22) Thomas Farms BM64 (1100m)

#3 – Bohemian Angel @ $7.00

BET NOW

Bohemian Angel doesn’t know how to run a bad race, and the odds are worth including in picks this week.

The Phillip Stokes-trained mare owns two wins and five placings from 12 starts, so her strike rate is good enough to recommend.

Will Pric rides, so she should get a good trip in transit.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (17:01) Fred Vella Tyre & Crash Repair BM64 (1100m)

#1 – Free Beer @ $11.00

BET NOW

Improving with every run this preparation is Free Beer, who ran fourth at Morphettville last start, which is a tidy form guide.

The five-year-old gelding by Astern loves racing in heavy conditions with three wins from four starts, so the odds are better than expected.

2kg comes off his back to help with the big weight, and the bar could be popular after the last.

Stake: 1 Unit
