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.

Each Way
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.

Best Lay
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: QLD Friday 31st May 2024
Key Comments The track is rated as soft and the rail is +8 metres from the 950m to 600m +6.5 metres for the remainder. Best Bet I'lltellyougo (Rockhampton Race 1 No. 1) Resumed from a spell for a 4.3 length win at Townsville and followed it up with an all-the-way win at Rockhampton last start. She’s won 4 of her 5 starts and is proven on soft tracks. Looks a moral. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Friday 31st May 2024
Key Comments The rail is in 6 metres from the 1400m to the winning post and in 4 metres for the remainder. The best bet comes up in the first and brings in some superb form to the table. Best Bet Hellberg (Wagga Riverside Race 1 No. 1) Brings some very good form to the table and while being beaten easily in the Prelude to the Blue Diamond by Bodyguard, that form should be enough to get away with this. Keep an eye
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Thursday 30th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet comes up in the first and will take beating off the back of some strong market support. Hurdles and flat races both taking place across the card. Best Bet Prismatic (Hamilton Race 1 No. 7) Off the back of some solid flat runs and will give this race a shake. Keen to take on the favourite who was awful last run and looks well and truly short enough. Prismatic has good upside and gets the leading jumps rider
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 31st May 2024
Key Comments The feature is the $75,000 Mile Series Final (race 6). The rail is in the true position. The best bet has been backed off the map and ticks all the boxes to be making a winning debut. Best Bet Small Town Hero (Cranbourne Race 2 No. 5) Excellent effort on debut when hitting the line with plenty of intent. Ideal draw, suitable map, has been subject to a stack of support and ticks all the boxes to be breaking maiden in
