Our Morphettville Horse Racing Tips for the weekend. The feature is the Lightning Stakes (race 8).
Great Diviner (Morphettville Race 9 No. 5)
This three-year-old Shamus Award gelding trained by Will Clarken has three wins and a place from six starts. He took over going for home at the 400m and won by a comfortable 1.3 lengths over 1200m at Murray Bridge on 19 June, then showed he can handle a heavy track with a 0.4 length win over 1300m at Morphettville Parks on 17 July. Todd Pannell sticks with him and he looks well-placed to win again.

Each Way
Jyoti (Morphettville Race 4 No. 5):
This three-year-old Akeed Mofee filly trained by Tony & Calvin McEvoy has two wins and three places from eight starts. She got close at the 300m before peaking late for 0.95 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Ballarat on 15 June, then jumped awkwardly and was brushed a couple of time before battling on for 1.9 lengths 3rd where she just missed 2nd. Has won previously at this track and distance and looks a great each-way chance.

Best Lay
Lord Bouzeron (Morphettville Race 5 No. 1):
This four-year-old Burgundy gelding trained by Michael Hickmott is the early favourite in this BM 68 handicap over 2500m. He stalked the leader but winded late to finish 6.8 lengthd 4th over 2100m at Gawler on 10 July, then led to the turn before being headed by the eventual winner turning into the straight but battled away to hold 2nd place comfortably over 2500m at Morphettville on heavy going on 24 July. He is on a seven day back-up and will run his usual honest race, but goes up in weight and even with a 2kg claim carries more than any other runner, which will tell on the heavy track. Prepared to risk him here.

Horse Racing Tips: QLD Saturday 27th April 2024
Key Comments There are 3 Listed races. The track is rated Soft and the rail is +3 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Exotique Miss (Eagle Farm Race 9 No. 2) She won the Listed Daybreak Lover last start to give her 2 wins from 2 starts this preparation. Even though she has the visitors draw of barrier 23 she looks good enough to win again. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Blue

Key Comments Small 7 race card. The best bet is in the last. Expecting those on speed to be suited with the rail true. Best Bet Saiko (Moruya Race 7 No. 2) Can be hard to catch but ticks boxes here. Maps well, goes well at the trip and gets conditions to suit. Doesn't win out of turn but same could be said for most of these. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Halkis (Moruya Race 2 No. 4) Has been around the mark both runs this prep. Weighted very well after the claim and any luck from the draw will be very hard to beat.

Key Comments The feature is the Listed Sheila Gwynne Classic for fillies & mares (race 6). The track is Good and the rail is +5 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Siren Assault (Ascot Race 1 No. 1) This filly won 2 in a row before a game 5th in the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate over 1200m here on 20th April. Provided she can handle the 7 day back-up she will be too good for this field. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. The best bet is halfway through the day and surprised about the odds on offer for it still. Needs to lug weight but is a huge hope against this field. Best Bet Arctic Legend (Tamworth Race 5 No. 2) Steps up in grade but was nothing short of brilliant when resuming from a long break. Suited to this field. Should be able to go right on with things here and
