The carnival in South Australia is starting to heat up and this Saturday at Morphettville we’ve got a cracking day of racing lined up.
No less than six Black-Type races are set to be run and with perfect weather forecasted, conditions look ideal.
What’s particularly interesting is the rail position: +9 metres from the 1200m to the winning post and +6 metres for the remainder.
That could give a slight edge to on-speed runners early, but there should still be plenty of opportunities for the swoopers late in the day.
I’ve found a couple of terrific early investments and best of all, they’re both at good odds.
Let’s dive into them.
Heath Pope continues to nail best bets at a good clip.

Race 7 #8 Climbing Star $7.50
This quality Phillip Stokes-trained mare resumes and I couldn’t be keener on her first-up.
Last prep she was enormous first-up in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes, charging late to finish just 2.7L off Southport Tycoon.
During the campaign prior, she smashed her rivals fresh and then ran a big second in this very race behind Benedetta.
She followed that up with a Group 1 win in the Robert Sangster and then a placing in the Group 1 Goodwood, which confirms she’s an absolute track specialist at Morphettville.
Lachlan Neindorf knows her well and with the price currently around, I’m very happy to be on board.
Race 8 #10 Navy Heart $13.00
This Ciaron Maher-trained filly is one I’m confident we haven’t seen the best of yet.
She’s been crying out for this step up in trip and I’ve loved the way she’s been finding the line in her recent runs.
This race fits the typical Maher/Eustace profile perfectly, and I reckon she’s primed to deliver.
Jake Toeroek jumps aboard, she draws ideally in barrier two to get the right run and at double-figure odds, she looks like a great play.
If she wins this, we’ll be talking Australasian Oaks straight after.
She’s currently $15 in pre-post markets for that.
