Our Morphettville Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature race is the 1100m Durbridge Stakes (race 6).
Behemoth (Morphettville Race 6 No. 1)
This five-year-old All Too Hard gelding trained by David Jolly has seven wins and four places from 18 starts. In the spring he won the Group 1 Memsie Stakes and the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes before finishing 6.5 lengths 10th in The Everest. Resuming after 15 weeks he has an excellent first-up record and after a trial win at Murray Bridge on 21 January he should win this feature event.

Charossa (Morphettville Race 8 No. 2):
This six-year-old gelding trained by Gordon Richards at Murray Bridge has eight wins and 13 places from 47 starts. He won by 1.8 lengths over 2500m at Morphettville on 28 November, then fought on for 2.4 lengths 5th over 2530m at Flemington on 12 December. Down in distance after a seven week let-up he looks worth an each-way bet.

Struck By (Morphettville Race 5 No. 2):
This grey gelding trained by Travis Doudle is the early favourite in this 3YO BM 62 Handicap over 1530m. He battled away for a length, 1.2 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Morphettville on 26 December, then chased gamely for 1.1 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Murray Bridge on 9 January. At the current price he offers no value.
