The Group 3 South Australian Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) headlines a nine-race meeting on the Morphettville Parks tracks this Saturday. Persistent rain is forecast for Friday and Saturday, so a further downgrade from a Soft 7 is likely. The rail sticks to its true position, with the action at Morphettville commencing at 11:47am ACST.

South Australian Sires’ Produce Stakes Tip: Heinous

Prior to a midfield finish in Listed company at Eagle Farm on June 15, the Jason Warren-trained Heinous was a smart winner at Sandown. From barrier three, the juvenile filly will gain an economic run in transit under Teagan Voorham, and if she can replicate her finishing burst from two starts ago, Heinous should prove too slick in the 2024 SA Sires’ Produce Stakes.

Best Bet at Morphettville: Episodic

Episodic might be untried on Heavy going, but her recent win on a Soft 6 on the course proper at Morphettville suggests it should be no worry for the in-form galloper. The four-year-old mare is a natural backmarker, but in a race that has plenty of runners who want to lead, Todd Pannell can camp just off the speed from the low draw before unleashing Episodic to make it five wins in six outings.

Next Best at Morphettville: Only Old Once

Richard Cully’s Only Old Once produced a strong finish over 1600m at Seymour on June 2 to prevail in the final 50m. The progeny of Rebel Raider hit the line strongly, which suggests the 1950m on the Parks track will be ideal. From barrier two, Thomas Stockdale will need a touch of luck approaching the home turn, but if the gaps appear, Only Old Once can win again.

Best Value at Morphettville: Alainge

The Stuart Padman-trained Alaigne strung together consecutive victories at the end of 2023 before struggling to do much on firmer tracks in tougher company earlier this year. The three-year-old filly is a natural backmarker, and with an abundance of early pace in this event, it sets up perfectly for Maggie Collett to circle the field and have Alainge reeling in some vulnerable leaders.

Best Value

Race 4 – Alainge Silks #10 Alainge (9)

3yo Filly | T: Stuart Padman | J: Margaret Collett (a2) (54kg)
