Best Bets for Morphettville by Heath Pope
Race 1 #2 Irish Thorn $14.00
Irish Thorn is a lightly raced five-year-old gelding that still has a bit to learn, but when he’s on his best behaviour is a very talented runner.
He was returning from a long 47-week layoff last start and despite blowing the start, finished strongly to place just 2 lengths off the winner.
On reflection, he rattled off a final 800m that was 6.4 lengths faster than the benchmark.
He should take plenty of improvement from that run and now benefits from the services of in-form apprentice Milnes, who claims 2kg.
In a field lacking depth, Irish Thorn looks seriously overlooked in the early markets.
He shapes up as a cracking each-way play at $6.00 or better.
Race 3 #8 Cavity Bay $3.90
I'm keen to take on the local SA form here with Cavity Bay, a McEvoy-trained filly who has been more than competitive against some smart types in Victoria.
Her last start was a total forgive run in Group 2 company under tough conditions and a fast tempo.
Prior to that, she caught the eye with a strong late run for a placing behind Treasurethe Moment and also ran well behind the talented I Am Velvet.
The rise to 1800m looks ideal, and she gains a couple of gear changes for this race.
To top it off, Manoal Nunes takes the ride and he’s been in great form since arriving in SA.
I’m confident she’s the one to beat here, rating her a $2.50 chance.
