Saturday Racing Tips - Morphettville 03/05/2025

Morphettville - Race 5 (1800m)

Selections:

#1 Fine Future - $2.90

#2 The Golden Fist - $5.00

#16 Miss Brittany - $17.00

GET ON - #1 Fine Future
My confidence is high in this selection as the standout Saturday bet, here is why. Three consecutive placings highlight the form of Fine Future and ability to stay near the front. Fine Future stepped out at Oakbank on 19/04/2025, finishing 3rd over 1400m. Raced on a good surface, carrying 54kg under Kayla Crowther. A wide draw means it might have to do extra work early. On board Fine Future will be Jamie Melham, one of my favourite jockeys to bet on. Coming from the trusted hands of Stephen Theodore, expect this horse to perform at a high level. Not its ideal ground, but still a rough chance on a good track. Performed well on good surfaces, winning 4 times from 16 starts. Go well again.

THREAT - #2 The Golden Fist
The Golden Fist is expected to outperform market expectations, making it a strong value play. Three consecutive placings highlight the form of The Golden Fist and ability to stay near the front. On 16/04/2025, The Golden Fist lined up at Balaklava, finishing 1st over 1600m. Backed at $2.80, jumped from barrier 3, and carried 61.5kg under Connor Murtagh. A good starting gate that could give him the edge over the competition. Mark Zahra brings solid experience to the saddle this Saturday, and their timing in races has earned them plenty of respect. Under the watchful eye of Garret Lynch, The Golden Fist has shown a lot of promise leading up to this race. Track record isn’t inspiring, but anything can happen at Morphettville on Saturday. In solid form, wouldn’t be a shock to see it win.

ROUGHIE - #16 Miss Brittany
At a big price, Miss Brittany could deliver a shock result. This runner delivered in style last start and could go back-to-back. Last start, Miss Brittany finished 1st over 1600m at Strathalbyn on 26/03/2025. Carried 57.5kg under Lachlan Neindorf, started at $9.50. Track rated soft. With a strong starting position, expect her to be well-placed throughout the race. In the saddle will be Lachlan Neindorf on Saturday. They are a skilled jockey that I have full confidence in. Winless over 1800m so far, but could improve in the track conditions. No wins in these conditions, but recent runs indicate improvement is possible. Great each-way bet.

Morphettville - Race 7 (1600m)

Selections:

#9 On Display - $3.20

#8 Sneaky Sunrise - $6.00

#11 Esternay - $12.00

GET ON - #9 On Display
On Display is expected to deliver on Saturday, let's talk about her form. Showed resilience to finish fourth last start, pushing to the line. Last time out, On Display competed over 1600m, placing 4th at Morphettville. Jumped from barrier 2, carried 53kg, and starting price of $41.00 odds. Capable on good tracks, though previous wins came in slightly different conditions. The barrier draw looks ideal for this runner, it usually likes a wide run. There’s no doubt that Ben Melham is the right person for the job this Saturday. With a solid record, they’ll play a major role. Trainer Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) has carefully prepared On Display for this event, and I believe she will give a strong account of itself. Untried at this trip but I think it will enjoy it. Despite no wins yet at Morphettville, On Display has had some solid performances here. It’s a real chance to grab some value.

THREAT - #8 Sneaky Sunrise
Sneaky Sunrise is a solid chance at good odds, here is why. A tough fourth-place run last start, sticking on well under pressure. Last start performance, Sneaky Sunrise came 4th over 1600m at Mornington. Carried 58kg, guided by Luke Currie, and started at $6.00. Drawn ideally to stay out of trouble and position up nicely. Todd Pannell has the skills and race intelligence to make a big impact on Saturday. Looking forward to their performance. Sneaky Sunrise has been fine-tuned by Ben, Will & JD Hayes for this race, and I expect a strong performance. Unproven at this distance (1600m) but could surprise with the right run. Not to be overlooked, this one’s got form.

ROUGHIE - #11 Esternay
Esternay is worth considering for those looking to back an underdog. Last race winner, showing excellent form leading into this event. Esternay raced recently, placing 1st in a 1400m event at Flemington. Jockey Blake Shinn guided the runner, carrying 56kg. Started at $11.00 odds. The 12 Barrier should suit this horse. With Daniel Stackhouse on board, expect a tactically astute ride this Saturday. This jockey always brings out the best in their horse. Esternay is trained by M W Walker. Wins as often as it loses, so always a threat. Expect a strong showing if it’s on its game.

Morphettville - Race 8 (2500m)

Selections:

#2 Statuario - $3.10

#1 Goldrush Guru - $11.00

#6 Snoopy Now - $15.00

GET ON - #2 Statuario
Statuario is rated as the best bet of the day, let me tell you why. Produced a winning effort last start and looks primed to do it again. Statuario raced at Caulfield last start, covering 2400m and finishing 1st. Carried 57kg with John Allen aboard. Track was good. A great starting position that could see him settle perfectly in the early stages. Jockey John Allen will ride this runner. This jockey is known for his ability to time the run perfectly. Has been trained by E & D Browne and comes off some trial runs. In the right race to make its presence felt.

THREAT - #1 Goldrush Guru
I believe that Goldrush Guru represents great value in the betting markets and could surprise. Didn’t place in the top four, but certain aspects of the run suggested improvement is coming. Goldrush Guru competed at Morphettville over 2000m, finishing 5th. Jumped from barrier 7, carried 57.5kg, and was ridden by James Holder. Will need to navigate across from the outside, but it’s still in the mix. I’m confident that Jason Holder will ride a calculated race this Saturday. Their history of strong performances makes them a reliable choice. With the experience and training of A J Gluyas, Goldrush Guru has everything it needs to succeed. If conditions suit, it’s a big player in this.

ROUGHIE - #6 Snoopy Now
If you’re looking for a roughie, Snoopy Now has some upside. Missed the top four last start but kept on well in the closing stages. Good track record is respectable, though it hasn’t been dominant. A wide draw might require a smart ride to find cover early. Connor Murtagh will guide Snoopy Now and given their record, they’ll give the horse every chance to shine. D L Hewitt is known for nurturing talented horses, and Snoopy Now has certainly benefited from their expertise.
