Our Morphettville Parks Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature races are the Group 3 Breeders Stakes (race 8), Group 3 Chairman’s Stakes (race 9), Listed City Of Adelaide Handicap (race 7) and the Listed H C Nitschke Stakes (race 6).
Annavisto (Morphettville Race 6 No. 6)
With four wins and a place from seven starts, this Mick Price filly has a fantastic strike rate so it’s no surprise she is the early favourite for the Listed H C Nitschke Stakes over 1400m. She led all the way to win the Listed Bendigo Guineas over 1400m on 27 March, then she was 2nd at the turn and took over at the 250m and bolted away for a 2.25 length win over 1400m at Caulfield on 10 April. She drops 4.5kg from that run and should bring up a hat-trick of wins.

Each Way
Magna Bella (Morphettville Race 7 No. 5):
This five-year-old Magnus mare has six wins and seven places from her 21 starts. At the end of last campaign she fought on to the 100m when her run peaked to finish 2.2 lengths 4th in the Listed Kilmore Cup over 1600m on 22 November. She resumed for a narrow win over 1200m at Morphettville on 10 April and has a big drop in weight from that run. Goes well at this track and looks a good each-way bet.

Best Lay
Karacasu (Morphettville Race 8 No. 2):
This two-year-old Headwater gelding is the early favourite in the Breeders Stakes for 2YOs over 1200m. On debut he worked home solidly late to grab 2nd over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 13 March, then he was clear last early but ran on strongly to get up late for a 0.5 length win over 1100m at Morphettville on 27 March. Those are his only two starts. He carries more weight and am prepared to risk him.
