We have the best bets picked from across the meeting with a Best Bet and other value selections for Morphettville racetrack.
Race 4: No.6 Zebella
The Phillip Stokes-trained galloper is second-up here and ticks enough boxes to suggest she has strong claims for victory in this event.
Last start, the Zebedee mare resumed off a 15-week spell and did well to beat all but one home in a BM80, here on the Parks circuit over 1250m.
In her usual role, she led on settling and kept going to the line by Taylor Johnstone, managed to ward off all but one challenge, nosed out by one fitter on the day.
Meeting similar company here, she draws ideally in gate three and maps to be showing them the way again on settling with Johnstone in the saddle again.
Boasting a strong second-up record, the six-year-old will strip fitter here and already a two-time winner on this track, she should prove hard to run down in this contest.
Race 5: No.2 Hot Statement
The Team Jolly-trained galloper is second-up here and has already shown he is back and ready to rock in this event.
Last start, the Written By gelding resumed after 10 months off the scene and showing no signs of fatigue, clobbered his rivals in a Maiden Plate, here over 1050m with Jake Toeroek at the helm.
He settled mid-field early before making his move on straightening and after taking over inside the final 200m, went on to score by almost two lengths on the line, with some to spare.
Nicely drawn in gate two, he maps to be mid-field near the fence on settling and with Toeroek sidelined through injury, Todd Pannell is the new pilot for this assignment.
Facing Class 1 company now, he looks up to the challenge and is well worth a ticket on both totes in this contest.
Race 8: No.4 Touchdown
Team Hayes make the trip west of the Victorian border and saddle-up Touchdown here who is in top-shelf form this preparation and looks the best of the day in this event.
Last start, the Almanzor gelding came off a first-up win at Sale when he beat all but one home in a BM62 over 1600m at Ballarat.
Drawn the outside gate (9), he settled back in the field and with Luke Nolan aboard before working home well to take the silver medal in the race.
He has since enjoyed a 19-day freshen-up and will jump from gate four in this event where he maps to settle just behind the speed with Todd Pannell taking the reins.
Even fitter after two runs back, a trouble-free run here should see him hard to hold out in this contest.
