Our Morphettville Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Kirinia (Morphettville Race 8 No. 6)
This three-year-old filly trained by Richard and Chantelle Jolly has three wins and two places from nine starts. She weakened in the straight for 5.5 lengths 5th over 1200m at Morphettville on 31 October, then came clear over the final 150m for a 3.8 length win over 1050m at Morphettville on 5 December. All her wins have been at this distance range and she looks a strong hope for another win.

Mr Epic (Morphettville Race 7 No. 6):
This eight-year-old gelding trained by Grant Young at Murray Bridge has six wins over this distance. He battled away for 1.6 lengths 4th over 1600m at Balaklava on 9 December, then got to the front but was beaten off in the last 100m to finish a length 2nd over 1705m at Gawler on 19 December. He has a 3 kg claim and is on a seven day back-up. He is worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Struck By (Morphettville Race 4 No. 3):
This grey filly trained by Travis Doudle is the early favourite in this 3YO Class 2 Handicap over 1200m. She has only had two starts, debuting for 4.2 lengths 8th over 1200m at Morphettville on 10 October, then racing away for a 3.7 length win over 1200m at Balaklava on 26 November. She will run well but is up against winners at this track and doesn’t represent value.

Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +9 metres from the 1200m to the winning post and +7 metres for the remainder. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with an advantage to those who find the inside lanes in the straight. Best Bet Sh'bourne Midnight (Launceston Race 6 No. 3) In great form and was a dominant winner at Hobart last start. Has drawn wide
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 18th April 2025
Key Comments The track is in the good range. The best bet has been having a very good prep and looks superbly weighted dropping down a few grades. Best Bet Bold Response (Cranbourne Race 5 No. 2) Maps well from the draw and should appreciate this drop in grade. Weighted well after the claim and looks nicely placed against this lot. Should come into good market support. Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way
