We have the best bets picked from across the meeting with a Best Bet and other value selections for Morphettville racetrack.
Race 2: No.3 Stand Alone
The Team Koch-trained galloper is high-flying at the moment and looks well placed here to go on with it in the event.
Last start, the Spieth mare came off back-to-back runner-up finishes when she went one better and broke through for her first win by taking out a Maiden Plate, here over 1000m.
Regular rider Brooke King settled her near mid-field on the fence to the turn before securing a run along the rail and finished best to grab the win in the end.
Taking on Class 2 company here, she jumps from gate six and maps to cross and settle near mid-field with King remaining in the saddle for this assignment.
Now a track and distance winner, she looks set to repeat the dose and is well worth an each-way ticket in this contest.
Race 6: No.3 Real Deluxe
The Nicole Irwin-trained galloper is in red-hot form this preparation and ticks enough boxes here to suggest she can figure in the finish of this contest.
Last start, the Sessions mare made it three wins from her four starts this time in when she took out a BM76 here over 1000m as a $13 chance.
Jumping from the outside gate (12), Stacey Metcalfe pushed forward and crossed to lead on settling where she set a solid pace, then in the run home, ran them off their legs and hung on to claim the big prize in the race.
Drawn out again in gate 10, she maps to cross and settle on the speed with Metcalfe steering the ship again.
Down in grade, she takes on BM66 company here and although up in weight, the four-year-old is at her peak and should prove hard to run down again in this contest.
Race 7: No.10 Cielao
Michael Hickmott saddles-up Cielao here who is second-up and better placed over this trip where she looks a genuine winning chance in this event.
Last start, the Toronado mare resumed after six months off the scene and wasn’t disgraced when finishing fifth in a BM72 Hcp, here over 1250m.
At barrier rise she settled second behind a tearaway leader and had the job of taking the rest of the field up to challenge where the pace was genuine, then in the run home, her condition gave out as she weakened out of medal contention over the final 100m.
Stepping-up in grade here, she faces BM82 company but drops significantly in weight, carrying 7kgs less than last start (after the claim) as she rises to the 1400m journey.
Ideally drawn in gate two, she maps to settle just behind the speed with Rose Hammond in the saddle for the first time.
Already a winner when second-up and a three-time winner over the 1400m trip, she should prove hard to hold out in this contest.
