Our Morphettville Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Gate Crash (Morphettville Race 3 No. 3)
This four-year-old gelding trained by Patrick Payne has four wins and four places from ten starts. He chased steadily from well back in the field for 4.4 lengths 6th over 2100m at Sandown Lakeside on a heavy track on 29 June where he got too far back, then finished 1.4 lengths 3rd over 1700m at Sandown Hillside on heavy going on 20 July. Tends to go well on a soft track and is well-placed here.

Each Way
Pindaric (Morphettville Race 4 No. 4)
It seems a little odd to be tipping a horse that has never run a place as the best each-way bet, as this five-year-old Fastnet Rock gelding has six wins from eight starts and has always either won or been unplaced. He was a 0.4 length winner over 1200m at Morphettville on 16 October, then led early but was headed at the 350m and battled on for 6.5 lengths 6th over 1400m at Flemington on 2 November. Resumes from a 38 week spell and goes well first-up. Looks a great each-way bet.

Best Lay
Jaazeb (Morphettville Race 7 No. 3)
This three-year-old Zebedee gelding trained by Gordon Richards & Damien Moyle is the early favourite in this BM 64 Handicap over 1050m. He battled away for 3.3 lengths 4th in a 3YO Plate over 1200m at Murray Bridge on 2 July, then ran on strongly for 1.9 lengths 3rd in a 3YO Handicap over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 16 July. Gets a 2kg claim but is still carrying a lot of weight against the older horses. Others look to have his measure.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 3rd May 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is off the back of a strong second placing and looks hard to hold out launching from the good draw. Best Bet Red Red Wine (Echuca Race 8 No. 5) He has been hard to catch lately but was keen on him earlier this prep when he was smashed in the market and ran on well in a higher grade than this. Gets his chance in this field and should relish the drop in
Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The feature is the Group 3 WA Sires' Produce Stakes (race 7). The track is rated Soft and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Profit Pocket (Ascot Race 2 No. 3) She’s won all 3 starts this campaign at Esperance, Ascot and Pinjarra At her last 2 wins she’s raced outside the leader before taking over for dominant wins. Think she can do it again. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 8 metres. The track played well last time. Suspect with the rail out that far it may suit those on speed. The best bet looks double the price it should be. Best Bet Cadmus (Caulfield Heath Race 3 No. 1) Hard to beat. Brilliant return up a few grades than this and looks superbly treated in this with the drop in grade. Smart move with the claim and is 1/1 over this trip. Check odds on
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Friday 3rd May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is in true position for the 10 race meeting. Best Bet Flying D'amore (Kilcoy Race 4 No. 5) Filly from the Annabel Neasham stable who resumed for 5th over 1200m at Doomben on 17th April. Will find this easier and looks the leading chance.
