The Fotobase Group Handicap Tips (Race 1)

Morphettville Value Bet - Race 1 No. 6 High Torque

The veteran performer has registered some solid placed efforts since completing a Benalla double when victorious over 2100m just over a year ago.

The eight-year-old own by nearly two lengths that day and he recorded his first placed effort this prep when runner-up over 2012m at Kilmore in February.

The pick raced at Benchmark 58 handicap level that day and put a below par effort Penola behind him when placing third at triple-figure odds over 2028m here two weeks ago.

Dean Grass’ representative was beaten just over four lengths in a fourteen-runner Benchmark 64 handicap when keeping on nicely that day

The shapes as if the step up in distance he gets here will suit while he gets in off a nice racing weight in this contest.

Manoel Nunes’ mount has the forecast underfoot conditions to suit and he looks value to record a win in the opener.

Morphettville Next Best Bet - Race 3 No. 8 Volcanic Express

The gelding has shown good form this season registering two wins and two third-place finishes from five outings.

The most recent of those victories saw him come home just over one-and-a-half-lengths clear of his rivals in a 1000m Benchmark 64 handicap at Murray Bridge in December.

The pick went on to lose out by less than a length stepped back up to metro-level racing when finishing fourth in a Benchmark 64 handicap over 1200m here subsequently.

The son of Hualalai was spelled following that fourth place finish and he resumed with a close up third in a 1000m Benchmark 68 handicap on the Parks circuit here last month.

David Jolly’s representative is expected to have improved for his return to action and he has gone well, including when winning second up in the past.

A wide barrier shouldn’t pose an issue with the selection having gone well from off the pace in the past and he is taken to deliver the fourth win of his career.

Sportsbet R N Irwin Stakes (Group 3) Tips (Race 7)

Morphettville Best Bet - Race 7 No. 9 Aviatress

The filly won twice earlier this season following up a win on the Parks course over 1250m at this venue with a success in Melbourne in October.

That Melbourne success saw the daughter of Smart Missile come home nearly three lengths clear of her rivals when contesting the 1200m Group 3 Plume Stakes.

The pick proved a slight disappointment when finishing only fourth at $3.60 when stepped up to 1400m for The Hong Kong Jockey Club Stakes, a Group 3 event at Flemington in early November.

The four-year-old was spelled following that effort and she justified short priced favouritism when resuming in Listed company back down to 1200m at the end of last month.

The selection came home over one-and-a-half-lengths clear of her rivals that day and she boasts a good barrier next to the rail here.

The Richard & Chantelle Jolly and Jake Toeroek team took this race in both 2019 and 2021 and they can record their third win in this event.

Sportsbet Auraria Stakes (Group 3) Tips (Race 8)

Morphettville Feature Bet - Race 8 No. 8 Phenom

The daughter of Zoustar registered the third win of her career when racing second up at Sandown early last month.

Racing on the Hillside course in a 1500m Benchmark 64 handicap that day the filly came home nearly a length clear of her rivals when racing on a good 3 track.

The runner-up that day went on to register a victory in a useful contest at Flemington subsequently while the sixth home has also won in the interim.

The selection went on to prove that she can be competitive in a higher grade when a good third on a soft 6 track in the Group 3 Alexandra Stakes over 1600m at Moonee Valley subsequently.

The filly is one of two runners on the card for the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott team while the booking of Rochelle Milnes takes the eye.

A wide alley isn’t ideal however the pick remains open to improvement and is taken to record her first Group race win.
