Morphettville Preview – Saturday 3rd August

Race 1 - 12:16pm

Leigh and Brian Hoey Handicap (2014m)

Aagas comes into this contest on the back of two second place finishes and he has the chance to return to winning form. He gets into this race much better in at the weights than he did when he was beaten by Dance Of Heroes last start and he will get a lovely trail into this contest with Simon Price in the saddle.

Race 2 - 12:51pm

Jockey Celebration Day Handicap (1600m)

All Too Huiying has become a much more reliable galloper since he joined the Phillip Stokes stable and he is well-placed to make a winning return to the races. His best form does give him a genuine edge over the rest of this field and he will make his own luck right on the speed with Gary Lo in the saddle.

Race 3 - 1:26pm

Gia And Sophia Gonis Handicap (1200m)

Kemalpasa went to another level last campaign and he returned to the races with a good win at Gawler first-up. His record at Morphettville isn’t great, but he generally does improve second-up and I am confident that he still has more upside than the rest of this field.

2 Units Kemalpasa

Race 4 - 2:06pm

Ian Ricardo Handicap (1050m)

This is one of the most open races of the day and there are a stack of winning chances. Silent Ice isn’t the most consistent horse in the world, but he is capable of a high-rating performance on his day and he is generally not far away first-up. There really isn’t a great deal between any of the horses in this race and he appeals at the $7.50.

1 Unit Silent Ice

Race 5 - 2:46pm

Skippy's Run Plate (1050m)

This is a tricky race from a betting perspective as we are dealing with horses that don’t have a great deal of racing experience. Autumn Splendour does look like a filly with some upside. She was well-backed on debut, which suggests that she does have ability, and a few things did go wrong in the run. Despite that, she was still able to finish third and she should take a fair amount of improvement from that experience. If she does that, she will prove tough to beat.

Race 6 - 3:26pm

Brian Poole Handicap (1050m)

Suplex City is a galloper that I have plenty of time for and it is rare for me to go against him, but I think that there might be something a bit special about Rowsthorn. She couldn’t have raced more greenly and she did everything wrong when she made her racing debut earlier this year, but she was still able to win in dominant fashion and she ran the fastest closing 600 metres, 400 metres and 200 metres of the entire meeting. Her recent trial win suggests that she has improved her racing manners and if that is the case than she has simply limitless upside.

3 Units Rowsthorn

Race 7 - 4:06pm

Lachlan Harris Handicap (1511m)

I think that Despacito is a little bit of a false favourite here and Nudge Bar is the horse to beat for me. He returned to winning form at Morphettville last start after a string of placings and he did so in very impressive fashion. There has already been another winner come out of that race and I don’t think this is much tougher. He will make his own luck right on the speed with Liam Riordan in the saddle and he will give his rivals something to catch.

2 Units Nudge Bar

Race 8 - 4:45pm

David Donald Handicap (1200m)

This is a tricky way to finish the day, but I do think that Russian Romeo does have more upside than the rest of this field. He was transferred from the care of Ciaron Maher and David Eustace to Will Clarken before the start of this campaign and he made his South Australian racing debut with a fast-finishing victory at Murray Bridge and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him go on with the job. Barrier four means that he probably doesn’t have to get as far back in the run as he did last start and he should still have that sharp turn-of-foot late.
