The Listed Leon Macdonald Stakes will headline a massive nine-race program on the Mophettville Parks track this Saturday afternoon. With more rain forecast to fall in the lead-up to the meeting, it is expected that the surface will remain a Soft 7 for the whole day. The rail will be in the +6m position from the 1000m-winning post and the +3m position for the remainder, with racing set to kick off at 12:17pm ACST.
Leon Macdonald Stakes Tip: See You In Heaven
Following her impressive win in the Group 3 Behemoth Stakes first-up, See You In Heaven will drop in grade and rise in trip to 1400m in the feature race of the day. The Richard & Chantelle Jolly-trained mare settled midfield and quickly rounded up her rivals early in the straight before careering away with a 1.6-length win. After drawing a much better barrier (4) in a weaker grade, this race sets up even better for See You In Heaven to salute again.

Best Bet at Morphettville: Reservoir Dog
Reservoir Dog recorded a tough victory at this track over 1600m on August 10 and the Will Clarken & Niki O’Shea-trained gelding looks well placed to bring up back-to-back wins here. The son of Choisir settled midfield and enjoyed a strong tempo before working his way through the pack to run away with a good win. Jacob Opperman has chosen to stick with the five-year-old gelding, and if he gets a similar run from barrier four, Reservoir Dog can win again.

Next Best at Morphettville: The Guava
The Guava was made to travel wide throughout the 1200m journey at Murray Bridge second-up and was very good considering the circumstances to finish third, beaten by under a length. Hailing from the Shane & Chelsea Cahill stable, the son of Akeed Mofeed will appreciate another Soft track and a rise to 1400m as he hits peak fitness. If Jason Holder can settle The Guava off the fence in the middle of the pack, his turn of foot will give him every chance to record a second win for the campaign.
