bet365 Say From SA: Morphettville Parks – Saturday, 26th August 2023
It's Leon Macdonald Stakes Day in Adelaide on Saturday and a R & C Jolly stable superstar dominates the market.
Having returned in great style to take out the Group 3 Behemoth Stakes a fortnight ago, See You In Heaven lines up a firm favourite in this weekend's feature.
Looking to go back-to-back in the Listed contest, Andrew Gluyas has Manhatten Times carrying the hopes of the stable after co-training last year's winner and all-round fan favourite Dalasan.
The Patrick Payne-trained Seonee sits on the second line of betting and finds herself in rarefied air after bringing up the hat-trick of wins last start at Flemington against a Quality field. The five-year-old mare is 5/5 at the distance and is sure to making her presence felt.
As for the bet365 best bet of the day we look to earlier in the card where I'm confident Port Albert from the Nick Ryan stable can resume a winner (Race 3).
The son of Sooboog was racing in solid order last campaign back in Victoria and held his own when running into a sharp one who looks destined for better racing (Red Card).
Port Albert shoulders a handy record over this distance and boasts a Racing And Sports rating of 97. His rivals will be relying on him to be well below his best first which doesn't look the case on the back of two solid jump outs in readiness.
Expecting him to start favourite come race day and prove too tough for them.
For the best each way chance we will have to wait a few races after the best but Tres Belle from the Ryan Balfour stable presents value (Race 6).
The lightly raced four-year-old daughter of Ilovethiscity was an impressive winner last start on the main track when rattling home from a rearward position.
There was plenty to like about the win and the form from that race has stuck up strongly in 14 days with two subsequent winners already.
Will need to raise the bar but there's no reason why she can't.
