Best bets for the feature nine-race card at Morphettville on Saturday.
Say from SA
It's Wylie Handicap day in Adelaide with some talented sprinters and returning G1 stars doing battle in the feature race. After some midweek rain, the forecast looks promising so the track will likely race in the Good range.
Tropical House is a mare that has progressed through her grades nicely over the winter and I think she can take another step with a spring win in Race 9 on Saturday.
With a record that reads four wins form eight starts, she rises to BM70 grade on Saturday. From a low draw and with a 3kg claim for in-form apprentice Matthew Chadwick, I think she's the horse to beat.
She should get the right run and, importantly, be able to spot race favourite Beautiful Jewel, who draws inside her. If it turns into a two-horse war up the straight, I'm keen to be with the race-fit mare. At $4.80, I think she's a great bet.
As far as value goes, I'm keen to again back Endless Forevers on an each-way basis in Race 5. She showed tactical speed and was tenacious late to win first-up at Murray Bridge and, while she'll need to show those same qualities from a wide draw on Saturday, I think she can.
She's won two of her three starts and has plenty of upside.
Backed into around $6 after some early support, she appeals on an each-way basis.
