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.

Each Way
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.

Best Lay
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.

Horse Racing Tips: WA Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The Quokka (race 8) has $5 million prizemoney making it WA's richest race. There is also the Group 2 Karrrakatta Plate (race 7). The track is Good and the rail is +3 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Yarralea (Ascot Race 2 No. 3) Last-start winner over 1500m at Ascot and draws to do no work. Should be hard to beat.

Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000m-380m mark and true for the remainder. The best bet looks primed to break through. Best Bet Elba ( Cranbourne Race 2 No. 6 ) Boasts 4 placings to date, all of them in some decent company and now Elba gets its chance to breakthrough. Tackles this off a freshen up, comes up with the pole position and looks poised to give this race a red hot shake. Analyst: Bryce Parker
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments The feature races are the Ascot Quality Handicap (race 8) and the Daybreak Lover (race 9). The track is Good and the rail is +1 metre the entire circuit. Best Bet Iverson (Eagle Farm Race 4 No. 10) Iverson has had 3 starts since joining the Robert Heathcote stable for 2 wins and a runner-up. He won by 2.5 lengths here last start and should go well again with a 2kg claim and good barrier. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
Horse Racing Tips: QLD Friday 19th April 2024
Key Comments There's a massive 10 race meeting. The track is Soft and the rail is +0.5 metres from the 700m-300m and true for the remainder. Best Bet Unleash (Gatton Race 5 No. 6) Unleash was a winner at Toowoomba two starts back then got in all sorts of bother last start when she was slowly away, over-raced, bumped and held-up but still managed to grab 3rd. If she is ridden forward she should be hard to catch. Check odds on SmartB
