Our Morphettville Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature is the Listed City Of Marion Stakes (race 7).
Alleboom (Morphettville Race 3 No. 1)
This Spirit Of Boom colt trained by Richard and Chantelle Jolly has had six starts for three wins and two places. He raced three wide with no cover before weakening out in the straight for 6.6 lengths 6th over 1200m at Morphettville on 17 October, then jumped awkwardly but was strong through the line to get up in the last few strides for a 0.5 length win over 1000m at Flemington on 3 November. Has drawn the inside barrier and looks the likely winner.

Each Way
Hasta La Fiorente (Morphettville Race 2 No. 5):
This five-year-old Fiorents gelding has six wins and eight places from 22 starts. He raced keenly then lost his position going back to 8th before working home out wide for 2.2 lengths 2nd over 2000m at Naracoorte on 21 October, then took over at the 1000m and despite tiring he just lasted for a 0.2 length win over 2500m at Morphettville on 3 November. Dom Tourneur sticks with him and he looks a nice each-way bet at the same track and distance.

Tiganello (Morphettville Race 8 No. 2):
This four-year-old Savabeel gelding trained by Tony McEvoy is the early favourite in this BM 64 Handicap over 1600m. He battled on steadily for 2.45 lengths 7th over 1400m at Sale on 30 August before a 10 week break, then resumed for an all the way win over 1400m at Murray Bridge on 11 November, where he was tiring at the end but just lasted to win by 0.3 lengths. The extra 200m may not suit and other runners have won over 1600m.
