Our Morphettville Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature race is the Listed W H Wylie Handicap (race 8).
Melody Man (Morphettville Race 6 No. 6)
This five-year-old Fiorente gelding trained by Jake Stephens at Victor Harbor has three wins and four places from nine starts. He came clear in the final 100m to win by 2.8 lengths over 1600m at Morphettville on 21 August, then won by a solid 3.2 length margin over 1950m at Morphettviille Parks on 4 September. Should be hard to beat.

Lomax (Morphettville Race 7 No. 3):
This five-year-old Host gelding trained by Bruce Potter at Strathalbyn has two wins and four places from 13 starts. He kept battling for 4.7 lengths 4th over 1400m at Murray Bridge on 7 August, then kept chasing gamely to grab the leader at the 50m and win by 1.5 lengths over 1550m at Morphettville Parks on 28 August. Racing well this campaign and looks a good each-way chance.

Larkham (Morphettville Race 4 No. 6):
This five-year-old Sidestep gelding trained by Ryan Balfour has three wins and four places from 10 starts and is the early favourite in this BM 68 handicap over 1050m. Last campaign he finished with a 1.7 length win over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 20 March, then resumed after 24 weeks for 1.3 lengths 3rd over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 4 September. I expect him to place again, but not to win.

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Isle Eight (Mackay Race 2 No. 1) This gelding from Rockhampton has been runner-up at his last 2 starts there. He tends to get back in his races and runs on. Looks ready to win. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Cerared (Mackay Race 3 No. 6) Cerared placed here 3 starts back, then was a

Key Comments The rail is true. The 10 race card shapes up to be a good one. The best bet comes up in the third and has very good claims fresh off a break and has been trialling well. Best Bet Unusual Legacy (Rosehill Race 3 No. 9) Went in leaps and bounds last prep including not having a race to suit at Canterbury at the end of the prep and still flying to the line to win. May need the run but

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet was very unlucky last start when flying home and can kick the day off in fashion. Best Bet Bews (Caulfield Heath Race 1 No. 3) This 4yo Gelding has a booming turn of foot but usually requires a bit of luck in its runs. Flew to the line last start and finds a similar assignment here. May need a touch of luck getting off the rails at the right time but has

Key Comments The rail is true. Ashley Morgan rides the best and next best of the day. Expecting the track to play fair. Currently a Soft 6 at time of writing. Best Bet Just Joan (Bathurst Race 1 No. 9) She can land up on speed and prove hard to run down from the good draw. Maps to get favours from there and looks the right price at the $3.00 mark. Morgan steers and this race suits. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce
