Where Morphettville Racecourse – 79 Morphett Rd, Morphettville SA 5043
When Saturday, May 11, 2024
First Race 11:47am ACST

The Adelaide Racing Carnival will come to its conclusion this Saturday afternoon at Morphettville, with the Group 1 Goodwood set to headline a massive nine-race program. With no rain on the forecast for Friday and Saturday, another perfect Good 4 track is expected. The rail will be pushed out slightly to the +4m position for the entire circuit, with the opening race on Goodwood Day scheduled to jump at 11:47am ACST.

Race 1: Benchmark 62 Handicap (1050m)

After a dominant 6.7-length trial win at Balaklava, Vintage Star appears to have returned a much better horse in his third racing preparation and looks to be a good bet in the opening race of the day. With Jake Toeroek retaining the ride after being in the saddle for the impressive trial, this son of Starspangledbanner should be able to settle just behind the speed and finish off strongly over 1050m first-up.

Selections:

  • Vintage Star silks2

  • The Stalker silks4

    THE STALKER

  • Grint silks8

  • Dodd silks7

Race 2: 0-68 Handicap (1800m)

Carisbrook was slightly unlucky when finishing second behind Albanian I Am over 1800m at Caulfield last start as the Joseph Waldron-trained galloper had to make two runs in the final 400m. Although the son of Darci Brahma was held up, he switched off the leader’s heels and let down with a strong finish. From barrier six, Teo Nugent should be able to settle Carisbrook behind a good speed and with even luck, he will play a prominent role in the finish.

Selections:

  • Carisbrook silks7

  • Brooklyn Boss silks3

Race 3: Group 3 David Coles AM Stakes (1200m)

Symphony Of Colour appeared as though she was going to remain undefeated after fending off her rivals in the concluding stages of the VOBIS Showdown at Caufield last start; however, Stanley Express nabbed her in the final strides and relegated her to second place. With no Stanley Express in this race, a favourable draw in barrier two and with Damien Lane taking the reins, everything seems to be in Symphony Of Colour’s favour and she looks extremely hard to beat.

Selections:

  • Symphony Of Colour silks4

    SYMPHONY OF COLOUR

  • Flyer silks5

  • Karavas silks3

Race 4: Group 3 SA Fillies Classic (2500m)

Andrew Forsman and Damien Lane will combine with Positivity in the SA Fillies Classic, with the three-year-old filly coming off a credible ninth-place finish in the Group 1 South Australian Oaks. After settling towards the rear of the field, this daughter of Almanzor took ground off the leaders in the final 300m as she ran up the inside of the field. With a Group 1 placing in the New Zealand Oaks over 2400m on her resume, Positivity will have no worries running out a strong 2500m here.

  • Positivity silks1

  • The Autumn Belle silks3

Race 5: Listed Centaurea Stakes (2019m)

Following her fifth straight win at Mornington on April 20, Sea What I See will take on Listed grade for the first time where she looks to be one of the better bets on the Morphettville program. Throughout the four-year-old mare’s five win streak, the Danny O’Brien-trained galloper has won by an average of 2.6 lengths, which is nothing short of impressive. With Blake Shinn in the saddle, expect Sea What I See to settle in a perfect spot and prove too good at the end of 2019m.

Selections:

  • Sea What I See silks4

  • Seonee silks1

Race 6: Group 3 Proud Miss Stakes (1200m)

After missing out on the placings marginally in her last two starts, Grey River will rise in trip from 1100m to 1200m fourth-up, where the Jon O’Connor-trained mare will receive the run of the race from barrier three. Previously, this daughter of Al Maher was made to travel wide; however, she was one of the strongest running through the line. Todd Pannell has retained the ride and if Grey River can reproduce that last start effort, she will prove hard to hold out.

Selections:

  • Grey River silks4

  • Extratwo silks6

Race 7: Group 3 The Cummings Stakes (1600m)

The lethal combination of Patrick Payne and Billy Egan will be on full display in The Cummings Stakes when they combine with Jimmy The Bear who is coming off a good fresh performance over 1400m at Caulfield on April 27. The five-year-old gelding was well-backed before his first-up run, and after settling midfield he made a searching run around the outside, and finished off nicely. With a strong second-up record (3:2-1-0), Jimmy The Bear will be primed to run a big race here.

Selections:

  • Jimmy The Bear silks11

  • Second To Nun silks15

Race 8: Group 1 The Goodwood (1200m)

The Goodwood will feature runners from all over the country, with the Western Australian-trained horses Amelia’s Jewel and Oscar’s Fortune sitting atop of the market. Will we see another interstate runner claim the Group 1 feature, or will a South Australian-trained horse claim victory?

Race 9: Benchmark 68 Handicap (1600m)

When on debut for the Will Clarken & Niki O’Shea barn last start, Sachem unleashed with a very powerful finish over 1100m, recording the fastest last 400m and 200m sections of the entire meeting at this track on April 27. Although this son of Street Boss has only won two races from 19 starts, he looks to be enjoying the change of scenery and if he can produce a similar performance as he did previously, he will go very close again in the last race of the day.

Selections:

  • Sachem silks14

  • Pure Paradise silks6
