Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 11 Journalists Share Posted April 11 What Morphettville Races Where Morphettville Racecourse – 79 Morphett Rd, Morphettville, SA 5043 When Saturday, March 13, 2024 First Race 12:17pm ACST Visit Dabble Feature racing returns to Morphettville on Saturday afternoon, with the Auraria Stakes (1800m) and R N Irwin Stakes (1100m) at Group 3 level taking top billing. The track is rated a Good 4, while the rail comes out +9m from the 1200m to the winning post and then out +5m for the remainder. The first of nine races is set to go at 12:17pm ACST. Auraria Stakes Tip: Vivy Air First-up, Vivy Air flashed home after being held up for a run at Flemington on March 9. Next time out, she seemed to struggle around Moonee Valley when third in Group 3 company on March 23. The course proper at Morphettville will suit the Hellbent filly perfectly, as she tends to take a while to get going. Once she hits top speed, Vivy Air is electric, and she should prove too hard to hold out in the Auraria Stakes. Auraria Stakes Race 7 – #5 Vivy Air (4) 3yo Filly | T: Archie Alexander | J: Zac Spain (55kg) +350 with PlayUp R N Irwin Stakes: Queman Oakleigh Plate winner Queman returns to Morphettville following a luckless run in the Group 1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) on March 23. He is a four-time winner at the Morphettville 1100m from seven attempts, and from barrier two in Saturday’s co-feature, he draws to gain a perfect run in transit. With a few of the key chances drawn out wide, Queman will have a tactical advantage over his rivals, and if he can sprint sharply, he looks the goods in the R N Irwin Stakes. R N Irwin Stakes Race 8 – #2 Queman (2) 5yo Gelding | T: Shane & Cassie Oxlade | J: Craig Newitt (58.5kg) +900 with Neds Best Bet at Morphettville: Stretan Angel The Phillip Stokes-trained Stretan Angel has two wins from two second-up runs in her career. Considering she finished three lengths off Estriella at Flemington when fresh on March 30, she looks hard to go past in the Redelva Stakes (1100m). She had plenty of excuses last time out, and despite drawing barrier one as a backmarker, Stretan Angel can win this if the breaks come her way. Best Bet Race 4 – #1 Stretan Angel (1) 3yo Filly | T: Phillip Stokes | J: Lachlan Neindorf (58kg) +260 with Picklebet Next Best at Morphettville: Rampant Lion Rampant Lion has won two of his last three starts, both by the barest of margins, but his efforts over the concluding stages of those races suggest he is right in this 1600m affair. With a genuinely run mile expected, the race looks perfectly set up for the four-year-old gelding to absorb the pressure from the rear of the field. With a strong finishing burst, Rampant Lion should prove too good for his rivals. Next Best Race 3 – #2 Rampant Lion (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman | J: Thomas Stockdale (60kg) +250 with Dabble Saturday quaddie tips for Morphettville Morphettville quadrella selections Saturday, April 13, 2023 1-2-3-4-5 3-4-5 1-2-10-11-13 1-5-10-13 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
