Our Morphettville Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature races are the Port Adelaide Guineas (race 7) and the Dequetteville Stakes (race 4).
Translation (Morphettville Race 4 No. 2)
This two-year-old Frosted filly trained by James Cummings has had a win and a place from three starts. She jumped awkwardly, raced to the lead then was headed for 7.85 lengths 5th over 1000m at Flemington on 1 January, then was keen to get to the front and bolted away for a 3.5 length win over 1000m at Cranbourne on 26 March. She looks as if she is still learning her craft but has ability and looks very well placed here.

Oh Mo (Morphettville Race 5 No. 7):
This six-year-old Uncle Mo gelding has five wins and eight places from 28 starts and won at this track and distance last start. He settled well back and worked home steadily for 2 lengths 5th over 1400m at Morphettville Parks on 13 March, then settled well back and after being checked at the 300m he picked up strongly and went past them all for a 0.9 length win over 1600m at Morphettville on 27 March, That was a good effort and he looks a nice bet at each-way odds.

Blue Ocean (Morphettville Race 2 No. 3):
This four-year-old Ocean Park gelding trained by Phillip Stokes is the early favourite in this BM 72 handicap over 2025m. He battled on steadily for 2.7 lengths 5th when favourite over 2025m at Cranbourne on 5 March, then got close at the 100m but peaked at the end for 0.75 length 2nd over 2100m at Sandown Lakeside on 24 March. With one win and six places from 12 starts he doesn’t win out of turn and I don’t think this is his race.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Tuesday 30th April 2024
Key Comments The track is rated Soft and the rail is +0.5 metres from the 1000m to the winning post and +1.5 metres for the remainder. Best Bet Chilli Jam (Townsville Race 7 No. 16) She is absolutely flying and has won all 4 starts this campaign. She gets a 3 kg claim for Isabella Teh who rode her last start for a 3 length win. Can make it 5 in a row. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet can land us a win in the first. Best Bet Blue Steel (Quirindi Race 1 No. 3) Has been sound in both efforts to date and this race lacks any depth. The 5th last start is better than it reads on paper and that is in a race much harder than this. Goes in the mix here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Tingler (Quirindi Race 2 No. 8) A lot to like about the debut run on good footing but has battled on heavy tracks in the 3 runs since. Looks suited here getting back onto dry ground and this 3yo Filly has claims.

Key Comments A big 10 race card takes place. The rail is in 3 metres. The track usually suits those who can sustain a long run to the line. That will suit the best bet who loves racing here and comes up later in the day. Best Bet Swanston (Grafton Race 7 No. 2) Has a booming turn of foot and while Swanston doesn't have the easiest pattern to catch, this track does suit and that shows with the 9 placings from 16

Key Comments The Warrnambool carnival kicks off and the 2?? feature races of day one are the Vobis Gold Strike (race 5) & the Merlin Handicap (race 7). The best bet has a superb first up record and brings in the class factor. The rail is true. Best Bet Claidheamh Mor (Warrnambool Race 8 No. 1) Brings in a brilliant first up record, maps to lead the field and relishes soft conditions. The early price has been taken and this 5yo Gelding has
