Our Morphettville Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Taken Off (Morphettville Race 6 No. 1)
This four-year-old Toorak Toff gelding trained by Phillip Stokes has won three of his five starts. He resumed after 37 weeks for 2.3 lengths 4th over 1100m at Morphettville where he came from last and worked home as the widest runner, then he was steadily improving when badly held up and drove very hard when clear to win by 0.1 length over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 5 September. Returning after a 13 week break he should go well fresh and be very hard to beat.

Star Status (Morphettville Race 7 No. 7):
This five-year-old Medaglia D’Oro gelding came clear in the final 250m and won by 2.1 lengths over 1950m at Morphettville Parks on 7 November. Next start he was sent out as favourite at the same track and distance but weakened out over the final 200m to finish 0.3, 3.5 lengths 3rd on 25 November. He carries 4kg less here and looks a nice each-way bet.

Harpuna (Morphettville Race 5 No. 3):
This four-year-old Kuroshio gelding trained by Peter Hardacre at Mount Gambier is the early favourite in this BM 64 Handicap over 1200m. He worked home solidly behind an all the way winner for 2 lengths 2nd over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 24 October, then sped to the lead but was run down over the last 50m for 0.75 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Moonee Valley on 20 November. He will run well but there is no value at the short price.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Thursday 9th May 2024
Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. Keep an eye on the conditions in the lead up and fingers crossed the meeting still goes ahead. Best Bet Self Worth (Grafton Race 1 No. 7) Looks well placed to resume a winner. Concede there has been 17 career starts for Self Worth but it does find a very thin maiden and has enough early speed to find a prominent spot and off set the wide draw. Check odds on SmartB

Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +11 metres for the 9 race card. Best Bet Metalart (Eagle Farm Race 9 No. 9) Unbeaten at both his starts and should be running near the front. Both runs have been on soft going and he should be hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Thesecondatportsea (Eagle Farm Race 4 No. 4) She’s won 3 of her 5 starts
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Thursday 9th May 2024
Key Comments The track is in the heavy 10 range. The rail is in 3 metres. The best bet has heavy form and looks a big hope with Gibbons steering. Best Bet Bellascent (Wyong Race 4 No. 6) Excellent run last start almost pulling off the win at decent odds. That was on heavy ground and it got within .2 of the winner. Should get conditions to suit again here and by this time of the day being drawn wide may not be

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet had no luck last run when a $101 chance and will start much shorter this time around. Best Bet Themoonsaballoon (Pakenham Race 4 No. 5) Remarkable effort to remain standing and hit the line like it did after the horse took a poor step and the jockey wasn't far off falling off. Picked up momentum regardless and steamed to the finish to just miss out on the win. This 6yo was $101.00 that day
