Morphettville Picks

COEUR DE LYON narrowly beaten at long odds last start at Moonee Valley, genuine contender. MESSERSCHMITT winner at Port Lincoln and placed twice this campaign. Kept chasing and just missed last start at Port Lincoln, the real danger in the race. SIOUX WARRIOR coming off a win at Balaklava and two of three wins have come from dry ground, cannot be ruled out. THE HASS won two of nine as a favourite and three of four wins have come from dry ground, don't dismiss.

Will be a close run race between the top picks. ROYAL MAJESTY a winner at first outing this prep and a track specialist winning twice at Morphettville, a close top selection. DANCING STORM strong in winning last start at Morphettville Parks and Manoel Nunes a bonus, should be thereabouts. PURE AQUA short back-up of seven days and gets the blinkers back on, not without each-way claims. KARAVAS placed when fresh and gets the blinkers back on, sneaky chance.

MERCHANT BOSS drawn perfectly, genuine contender. MARCOLT last start winner at Naracoorte when first up and won two of nine as a favourite, looks threatening. CHIPSON won last start at Mount Gambier and two of four wins have come from dry ground, could upset. FAROOQ unwanted by the market but right up there last start at Naracoorte and six of 11 wins have come from dry ground, each-way claims.

Can’t imagine one of the top two not winning. EVENTUALLY 2 wins from 10 attempts this campaign and coming off a win at Murray Bdge, marginal top pick. STARTS NOW coming off a win at Morphettville and won two of three as a favourite, a real threat. DIVINE FIRE amongst the placegetters last start running third at Morphettville and Jacob Opperman a bonus, strong place chance. ARCHDEACON short back-up of three days and chased well to fall just short last start at Balaklava, not the worst.

WATCHME WIN winner of last two at Morphettville and Murray Bdge, leading hope. THE GREAT BABY placed when fresh and two of four wins have come from dry ground, needs the breaks. DELIGHTFUL SHECKY has very strong form at Morphettville and has placed in two attempts this campaign, chance to place. SIR SWAY 2 wins from five attempts this campaign and has won three times at Morphettville before, quinella.

Will be a close run race between the top picks. BIG STORY in strong form with two wins from nine attempts this campaign and won last start at Morphettville, among the main chances. SIR KINGSFORD gave nothing else a chance to win last start at Morphettville Parks and has won three times at the track before, in the mix. TIPPA winner of last two at Morphettville Parks and the track, in with a chance. ARUGAMAMA short back-up of seven days and two of four wins have come from dry ground, looks threatening.

MIDNIGHT MASS has won twice at Morphettville before and has two placings from three runs this prep, a winning chance. RIVERPLATE back from let-up and won four of nine as a favourite, don't treat lightly. EASY CAMPESE gave nothing else a chance to win last start at Morphettville Parks and rates highly with Rochelle Milnes retaining the ride, each-way claims. ROYAL MILE on a seven day back-up and only able to place as favourite last start at Morphettville Parks but four of six wins have come from dry ground, cannot be ruled out.

TOSEN WATER short back-up of seven days and placed last start at Morphettville Parks, has solid claims. KINETIC JEWEL placed once this prep at Murray Bdge and all wins have come when faced with dry ground, the real danger in the race. ROCKSTAR MEGGSY narrowly beaten at long odds last start at Morphettville and placed when fresh, could upset. SUPER ALANA led all the way to win last start at Murray Bdge when first up and rates highly with Kayla Crowther retaining the ride, cannot be ruled out.

Not much between these. MIGHTY SAPPHIRE strong finishing effort to win last start at Morphettville Parks and has won twice at the track before, one of the main hopes. THE JOURNO a winner at first outing this prep and was narrowly beaten as a favourite last start at Morphettville, has solid claims. OVERSTRIKE drawn perfectly and all three wins have come in the dry, could upset. THE GOLDEN FIST let-up for six weeks and gets the blinkers back on, could threaten.
