Morphettville tips, best bets and quaddie selections | Feb 6

There is a nine race card set down for judgement at Morphettville on Saturday afternoon where the Listed Birthday Cup is the featured event on the card. With a fair amount of rain forecast in the 48 hours leading up to Saturday, so it may pay dividends to find gallopers who can handle rain affected going, but we expect to be racing on a Soft 5 or Soft 6. The first at Morphettville is set to jump at 12:21pm AEDT.

Best Bet: Race 3 #1 Ididitforlove @ $2.10

The Patrick Payne trained Ididitforlove comes across to Adelaide on the back of two consecutive victories and boasts an impressive record of 8: 5-1-1. Noticeably, young apprentice Campbell Rawiller will ride him at Morphettville on Saturday, with the young jockey having tasted success in both of his two rides aboard the gelding. He has two wins from three starts on rain affected going, and looks to be a classy type going forward. From barrier one, expect Rawiller to settle him just off the leaders heels and with a bit of luck in the home straight, he should be too quick for this lot. Ididitforlove is paying around the $6 quote with the top horse racing betting sites.

Next Best: Race 6 #5 Monteferrante @ $4.00

Tony McEvoy and Barend Vorster will look to build on the impressive form Monteferrante has shown throughout this campaign having not finished worse than third in three runs. He was the best of the rest in a demolition job by the eventual winner at Gawler on January 2, but showed a slick turn of foot to grab second place on the line. He is naturally a get back and run on type of galloper and with a solid enough tempo expected, he should be able to unleash a turn of foot towards the back end of the 2040m he faces here.

Best Value: Race 8 #1 Dr Dee Dee @ $14.00W

Dr Dee Dee has been racing in fine form over the past month and a half around the provincial circuit, having strung together a hat trick of wins prior to his second placed finish at Penola on January 14. The 3kg claim that comes with Jacob Opperman will only help his chances, and considering Opperman has been on board for his last two starts the pair rate highly at big odds in the third leg of the Morphettville quaddie. He has a generally high cruising speed out in front and will make sure this is run at a solid clip, he is a rock hard fit and will give a big sight at odds in the penultimate event.
