We’re set for a sensational Saturday as Morphettville takes centre stage with a stacked card of feature races — headlined by the $1 million Sportsbet Goodwood, one of the nation’s premier sprints. From staying fillies in the SA Classic to a star-studded Gold Cup at Gosford, it’s a feast of black type for punters and racing fans alike. Let’s dive into the key contests, form angles, and those juicy value plays.
Gosford – Race 7 – Guardian Safety Solutions Gosford Gold Cup (2100m)
📝 Race Overview:
Plenty of depth and intrigue in this year’s edition, with a mix of seasoned stakes performers and emerging stayers. A few key runners are dual-accepted, but the main focus lands on a familiar Cup winner aiming for back-to-back glory.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
Hezashocka (Odds: $5.00)
💥 “Last year’s Cup champ returns with the exact same prep. His record isn’t glamorous, but his form around top-level races is solid, and he gets his chance again from a soft draw.“
💎 Best Value Bet:
Etna Rosso (Odds: ~$16.00)
⚡“This lightly raced stayer is on the rise, showing solid form in recent outings. With a favorable weight and a suitable distance, he presents a compelling case for punters seeking value in this competitive field.“
Morphettville – Race 5 – Ken & Helen Smith SA Fillies Classic (2500m)
📝 Race Overview:
A true staying test for the fillies, and one that often turns into a war of attrition. Plenty come off Oaks runs or lead-up events over 2000m+, with stamina now the final hurdle.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
Cavity Bay (Odds: $2.80)
💥 “Backs up from a strong SA Derby run and gives every impression 2500m will suit even more. Overs if she holds form.“
💎 Best Value Bet:
Hurricane Georgie (Odds: ~$7.00)
⚡“Looks tailor-made for this trip after surging home to win at Cranbourne. Gets Ben Melham again and is flying when it counts.“
Morphettville – Race 6 – Hahn Cummings Stakes (1600m)
📝 Race Overview:
A deep edition of this Group 3 mile, with classy veterans, rising types and a few resuming threats all converging. Expect a true tempo with a bunch of on-pacers engaged.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
Arran Bay (Odds: $5.00)
💥 “Lost no admirers last start when grabbed late. Gets in light here and looks perfectly placed to turn the tables.“
💎 Best Value Bet:
Chicago Storm (Odds: ~$9.00)
⚡“Back in form and fitter now. Loves this track and trip — could surprise at a price if they overdo it early.“
Morphettville – Race 7 – Sportsbet Proud Miss Stakes (1200m)
📝 Race Overview:
A quality sprint for the mares with plenty of speed up front. Some rising stars meet seasoned sprinters and a few resuming with big trials under their belt. Wide open and full of value.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
New York Lustre (Odds: $4.20)
💥 “Sharp return win at Moonee Valley and drops weight here. Draws to lead or sit handy and should give a big kick..“
💎 Best Value Bet:
Lovely Lookin’ (Odds: ~$20.00)
⚡“Returned with a strong win over 1050m and looks ready to elevate second-up. Proven fresh, handles all conditions, and could be the one flying under the radar at big odds.“
Morphettville – Race 8 – The Sportsbet Goodwood (1200m)
📝 Race Overview:
The main event — a time-honoured sprint that’s drawn a cracking field with Group 1 form all over it. Set weights make it even more fascinating, with high-quality types well in at the conditions.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
Giga Kick (Odds: $2.20)
💥 “He hasn’t won for a while, but class is permanent. Looked sharp in a recent jumpout and if he brings even 90% of his best, he should stamp his authority..“
💎 Best Value Bet:
Press Down (Odds: ~$81.00)
⚡“Shown flashes of class in previous Group 1 races, notably finishing 3rd in the Robert Sangster Stakes, just behind some top contenders. With the right conditions and a middle barrier draw, this horse could surprise at big odds“
