Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 6, 2022 Journalists Share Posted October 6, 2022 What Morphettville Races Where Morphettville Racecourse – 79 Morphett Rd, Morphettville SA 5043 When Saturday, October 8, 2022 First Race 11:59am ACDT Visit Ladbrokes Racing in South Australia returns to the Morphettville track on Saturday, hosting a huge 10-race card. The track is currently rated as a Soft 7 with more rain expected on Thursday; however, if no more rain falls and we get fine weather on raceday, the track shouldn’t be any worse than a Soft 6 or 7. The rail will be in the 10m position from the 1200m mark to the winning post and in the 6m position for the remainder. Racing from Morphettville will kick off at 11:59am ACDT. Morphettville Best Bet: Muramasa Our best bet of the day comes up in the Listed Hill Stakes over 1800m, where we will be siding with the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young-trained Murumasa. This three-year-old colt has only been to the races twice in his career, winning his debut race over 1427m at Sale before finishing seventh in the Group 2 Stutt Stakes over 1600m at Moonee Valley. This son of Deep Impact has shown ability in both starts, but ultimately the Group 2 Stutt Stakes may have been too soon for this guy in a hot field full of Caulfield Guineas contenders. This colt is an emergency in the Caulfield Guineas, so there is still an option to go there if he was able to gain a run, so we will wait until Saturday to see where the Busuttin & Young team choose to go. If they choose Morphettville, he will be very hard to beat and a definite bet. Best Bet Race 5 – #3 Murqmasa (2) 3yo Colt | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: Paul Gatt (57kg) $1.90 with Betfair Next Best Bet at Morphettville: Wicked Addiction The Kym Healy-trained Wicked Addiction will be our next best bet in race two over 1600m after this gelding has compiled a second and a third at his last two starts over 1600m and 1550m. At both of those starts this son of Ambidexter has finished behind Yuri Royale by less than a length on both occasions. The early favourite in this race is France’s Boy who meets Wicked Addiction half a kilogram better at the weights but we don’t see that being a problem for our guy, as the former still has to make up over a length from last start. From barrier nine, Todd Pannell should be able to glide across the front of the field and sit on the outside of his main rival in the lead and be too strong over the concluding stages. Next Best Race 2 – #3 Wicked Addiction (9) 5yo Gelding | T: Kym Healy | J: Todd Pannell (59kg) $4.50 with PlayUp Best Value at Morphettville: Aiguilette Our best value bet in race seven could be the forgotten runner in the market after opening at $13 with online bookmakers, the Wayne Francis & Glen Kent-trained Aiguilette. This seven-year-old gelding has returned from a spell in good form, running third first-up behind Melba Storm by just under two lengths, showing there is more improvement to come second-up. Lachlan Neindorf will take the ride on this guy and with aid of his 1.5kg claim he gets in on the minimum of 54kg. This son of Epaulette has a good second-up record, with five starts for two wins. He should get an economical run just worse than midfield and be storming home late to nab them on the line. Best Value Race 7 – #9 Aiguilette (10) 7yo Gelding | T: Wayne Francis & Glen Kent | J: Lachlan Neindorf (a1.5) (55.5kg) $18 with Palmerbet Saturday quaddie tips for Morphettville Morphettville quadrella selections Saturday, October 8, 2022 2-4-9-11 1-2-6-9-14 7-14 4-7-11 Investment: $120 for 100% More horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
