Racing is set to commence at 11:37am ACST (12:07pm AEST) with our Morphettville tips layed out below.

SA Sires Produce Stakes Top Tip – Kings Consort

Having caused an upset in The Showdown, the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained Kings Consort comes to the SA Sires Produce Stakes as the one to beat in our eyes. On the back of a fast speed, the Ilovethiscity gelding produced a strong finishing burst to finish the best and showed that he should appreciate every bit of the 1400m. From barrier 10, we expect Mark Zahra will ride him cold and have him settled close to the rear of the field once again. With Cold One and Sirius Princess set to make this a fast run 1400m event, the race looks perfectly set up for a backmarker like Kings Consort to balance up upon turning and unleash down the centre of the track. The $3.90 with online betting sites looks inviting.

Best Bet at Morphettville – Illation

There is no prizes for tipping a $1.30 shot as our best bet of the day, but Illation simply smashes this lot in the Adelaide Guineas. The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained colt is a young star on the rise and considering how easily he bolted in the HC Nitschke Stakes, we expect the So You Think colt will make it three wins from as many career starts on Saturday. He draws low once again in barrier three and if Mark Zahra can have him settled in the moving line with cover, the race may just be over within the first 200m. When asked for an effort at the top of the straight, we expect Illation to put a couple of lengths on these and produced a similarly jaw-dropping performance. Add him into every multi.

Next Best at Morphettville – Miss Daniel

The Richard & Chantelle Jolly-trained Miss Daniel is set to resume off a seven-month spell and looks the one to be with in the first race of the day. Despite not winning since her debut victory in August, the three-year-old filly has always been touted as one with above average ability. Angus Chung hops back on board for the first time since that debut effort and with his 3kg claim from barrier two, they look really well placed. With plenty of speed engaged in the race, we expect the young apprentice to take a sit off the speed, peel out on the home turn and have Miss Daniel savaging the line. The $4.20 with online bookmakers looks to be a steal.

Best Value at Morphettville – The Partisan

The Kristi Evans-trained The Partisan comes to the Morphettville 1000m scamper on the back of a convincing trial win at Murray Bridge on May 5. He is first-up under race day conditions following a 36-week spell and having finished second at both of his first-up runs so far in his career, we’re happy to be with him at a nice price. The five-year-old gelding is a genuine front runner, so barrier 16 should negate any issues with him getting trapped wide. With a win and three runner-up efforts to his name from five runs, we have no doubt he will be there or thereabouts when it matters most and with $17 on offer with Unibet betting, we’re happy to be with The Partisan in the “Get Out”.
