We have the best bets picked from across the meeting with a Best Bet and other value selections for Morphettville (Parks) racetrack.

Race 4: No.3 Amalfi Dreamer

The Team Jolly-trained galloper has impressed after two race starts and looks every chance of back-to-back success in this event.

Last start, the So You Think mare showed improvement of her debut minor placing when she clobbered her rivals in a Maiden Plate over 1250m, here on the Parks circuit.

Rochelle Milnes settled her second, outside the leader to the turn, then in the run home, cruised to the lead and went on score by 3.5 lengths on the line.

Rising in grade here, she faces BM0-68 company and from gate four, maps to settle near the early speed with Milnes in the saddle again.

The step-up to the 1400m looks ideal for her now and the four-year-old will take a ton of beating in this contest.

Race 5: No.8 Polunin

Team Jolly saddle-up Polunin here who has impressed after four race starts and looks well placed here to give this event a real shake.

Last start, the Zousain gelding bounced back from his first unplaced effort when he beat all but one home in a BM64, here over 1250m.

Todd Pannell settled him mid-field to the turn before scouting wide on the turn, then chased the leaders home and doing his best work over the final 100m, arrived in time to claim the silver medal in the race.

The step-up to the 1400m here looks a good move and from gate seven, maps to settle just behind the speed with Noel Callow as the new pilot for this assignment.

The stable remove the blinkers and replace them with the winkers and at his peak here, can land his second win in this contest.

Race 9: No.10 Tahnee Territory

The Travis Doudle-trained galloper is in career-best form this time in and looks set to go on with it in this event.

Last start, the Strasbourg mare made it four-straight podium finishes when she claimed third prize in a BM64, here over 1250m.

On a Soft 7 that day, she settled fourth, one off the fence and tracked the leaders into the home straight, then in the run home, chased hard all the way to the line and did well to grab the minor prize in the race, finishing just half a length from the winner.

Meeting similar company here over the same trip, she maps to settle in the first half-dozen and has Will Price on board for the first time.

All three career wins have come on wet tracks so the forecast Soft 7 looks ideal for her here and at her peak now, the five-year-old looks the one to beat in this contest.
