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: VIC Friday 26th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is on earlier in the day and has been brilliant in its trials. Confident on its chances at what is still a back-able price. Best Bet Night People (Cranbourne Race 2 No. 4) Has been superb in trials and looks very hard to beat here fresh. Newitt steers so expecting some front running tactics and showed plenty in the tank in a most recent trial when hitting the front early. Likeable odds and expecting

Key Comments The track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Isle Eight (Mackay Race 2 No. 1) This gelding from Rockhampton has been runner-up at his last 2 starts there. He tends to get back in his races and runs on. Looks ready to win. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Cerared (Mackay Race 3 No. 6) Cerared placed here 3 starts back, then was a

Key Comments The rail is true. The 10 race card shapes up to be a good one. The best bet comes up in the third and has very good claims fresh off a break and has been trialling well. Best Bet Unusual Legacy (Rosehill Race 3 No. 9) Went in leaps and bounds last prep including not having a race to suit at Canterbury at the end of the prep and still flying to the line to win. May need the run but

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet was very unlucky last start when flying home and can kick the day off in fashion. Best Bet Bews (Caulfield Heath Race 1 No. 3) This 4yo Gelding has a booming turn of foot but usually requires a bit of luck in its runs. Flew to the line last start and finds a similar assignment here. May need a touch of luck getting off the rails at the right time but has
