Best Bets
Our Morphettville Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The feature is the Christmas Handicap (race 8).
Who’s Clang (Morphettville Race 5 No. 4)
Has a win and a place from his 2 race starts. He debuted with a 0.9 length win over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 5 November, where he chased solidly and took over in the final 50m. At his second start he started from the outside barrier and was wide throughout where he battled solidly for 1.1 lengths 3rd over 1200m at Morphettville on 26 November. Has a much better draw here and looks the leading contender.

Each Way
Smokin’ Val (Morphettville Race 9 No. 7)
This five-year-old mare has 2 wins and 8 places from 23 starts and can be hard to follow at times. She was slowly away, raced keenly then didn’t finish off as expected when 6 lengths 9th over 1100m at Morphettville on 16 November, then she worked home late to grab 2nd over 1100m at Morphettville on 26 November. Gets a 3kg claim here and is worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Hopon Harry (Morphettville Race 2 No. 3)
This four-year-old gelding trained by Leon Macdonald & Andrew Gluyas is the early favourite in this BM 82 Handicap over 1800m. He was a 1.4 length winner over 1550m at Morphettville Parks on 5 November, then chased solidly but never looked likely when 2.1 lengths 4th over 1400m at Morphettville Parks on 19 November. Untested at the distance and other runners offer better value.

Key Comments Expecting on pace runners to be suited. The best bet is a progressive type coming off a large maiden win and can go right on with things in a suitable step up in grade. Best Bet Perfectly Good (Kilmore Race 6 No. 12) Drawn to perfection and a lot to like about the last start win when backed off the map and winning with ease. Was a real eye catcher and a good thing beaten the start prior and form lines

Key Comments A small 7 race card takes place. Expecting Andrew Mallyon to be the jockey to follow as he rides mostly favourites for the card. Expecting all runners to have their chance on this track. Best Bet Written Fame (Murwillumbah Race 6 No. 5) Written Fame is a consistent runner who is yet to miss the top 4 this prep. This 4yo Gelding is 2/3 on this track and has won fourth up in the past. The only niggle is its record

Key Comments The track is in the good range. The best bet looks very hard to beat with Andrew Gibbons aboard and has been subject to some very strong early market support. Best Bet Calga Power (Tamworth Race 2 No. 9) Strong effort on debut when running a commendable fourth and should get every hope from the solid draw in this. Maps for a tidy run, Gibbons sticks, drops in grade and looks very hard to beat as the market suggests. Check odds

Key Comments On pace runners should be suited. The track is in the good range. The best bet mixes its form but should really appreciate a decent drop in grade and can return to its winning ways. Best Bet Cyclone Harmony (Bairnsdale Race 7 No. 2) Keen on the chances of Cyclone Harmony who is the class runner of the race and capable of a strong run when things fall into place for it. Barrier 6 should ensure a good run and both
