Our Morphettville Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Taken Off (Morphettville Race 6 No. 1)
This four-year-old Toorak Toff gelding trained by Phillip Stokes has won three of his five starts. He resumed after 37 weeks for 2.3 lengths 4th over 1100m at Morphettville where he came from last and worked home as the widest runner, then he was steadily improving when badly held up and drove very hard when clear to win by 0.1 length over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 5 September. Returning after a 13 week break he should go well fresh and be very hard to beat.

Each Way
Star Status (Morphettville Race 7 No. 7):
This five-year-old Medaglia D’Oro gelding came clear in the final 250m and won by 2.1 lengths over 1950m at Morphettville Parks on 7 November. Next start he was sent out as favourite at the same track and distance but weakened out over the final 200m to finish 0.3, 3.5 lengths 3rd on 25 November. He carries 4kg less here and looks a nice each-way bet.

Best Lay
Harpuna (Morphettville Race 5 No. 3):
This four-year-old Kuroshio gelding trained by Peter Hardacre at Mount Gambier is the early favourite in this BM 64 Handicap over 1200m. He worked home solidly behind an all the way winner for 2 lengths 2nd over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 24 October, then sped to the lead but was run down over the last 50m for 0.75 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Moonee Valley on 20 November. He will run well but there is no value at the short price.

Key Comments 8 race card with a few short favourites that look hard to beat. The best bet comes up in race 5 and is knocking on the door for a win. Best Bet Subrising (Ballarat Race 5 No. 6) Comes off the back of 2 second placings and Egan will ride from the wide draw. A lot to like about the past few runs and looks a better hope than the favourite who may just get too far back in this.

Key Comments 7 race card with a heavy 10 track at the time of writing so the meeting may or may not go ahead. The best bet is in the first and has the leading country jockey doing the steering. Best Bet Oakfield Peewee (Taree Race 1 No. 1) Can kick off the day a winner. Bullock rides from barrier 12 and hasn't been far away in all three runs to date. Looks suited jumping up in trip and is the logical winner

Key Comments An 9 race meeting on the synthetic Poly Track where the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Pernell (Gold Coast Poly Race 8 No. 1) On a 7 day back-up after a win at this track and distance. Races really well on the poly track. Goes up in weight but can win again. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Greyzous (Gold Coast Poly Race 6 No. 12) This filly

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is +4 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Hammarmill (Geraldton Race 3 No. 7) Came from well back for a 1.3 length win at this track and distance last start. Up in class but down in weight and looks a major contender. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Bayhara (Geraldton Race 6 No. 8) Came from last to win over 1600m last start
