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.

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The rail is in the true position. The best bet lobs in the first and is ready to win. Should get every hope from the kind draw. Best Bet Buy Me A Birkin (Coonabarabran Race 1 No. 6) Hasn't missed the placings this prep from 3 goes and won't get a better chance to win than this.

Key Comments Very keen on the chances of the best bet who should relish getting off heavy ground and looks well placed racing back on its home track. Best Bet Zaragoza (Kembla Grange Race 7 No. 2) Surprised it isn't favourite. Enormous win 2 runs back beating a smart one on this track. Found the going too tough fresh but but bumped into a handy field including The Black Cloud who has won convincingly up in grade since. Tough draw but has the

Key Comments The feature is the $50,000 Metric Mile over 1600m (race 7). The track is sand and is rated good and the weather is fine. Best Bet Miss Polly (Darwin Race 1 No. 6) She came from the outside barrier to be runner-up on debut over 1200m here. Emma Lines rides again and has a 1.5 kg claim, and this time she has draw the rails. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
