Durbridge Stakes Top Tip – Behemoth

The Listed Durbridge Stakes is the feature event of the day and marks the return of last year’s Memsie Stakes winner, Behemoth. Considering the superstar has five wins and two minor placings from nine first-up runs, we know he will handle the occasion. Last time in he claimed the Group 3 Spring Stakes (via protest) against the smart Beau Rossa, and despite no doubt wanting further than the 1100m of the Durbridge, he looks to be a smart bet here. Kayla Crowther will look to have her mount settled in the one-one, where she can track the speed set by Morvada and main market rival Kemalpasa. Behemoth is clearly the class in the race, and if he is anywhere near his best, we expect the All-Star Mile contender to be too good for this lot.

Morphettville Best Bet – Angel Like

We do not need to wait too long for our best bet of the day as the Will Clarken-trained Angel Like steps out over 1200m in the opener. Having held off Eyes Never Lie at Murray Bridge on January 15, the three-year-old filly out of Divine Prophet looks well-placed to string together consecutive victories together for the first time in her career. Having not missed the top three in both starts at Morphettville, she clearly handles the track, despite not breaking through for a win yet. However, we expect to see Angel Like settle outside the leader and take advantage of Campbell Rawiller’s 3kg claim. With solid form on her side, Angel Like will be hard to run down.

Next Best Bet at Morphettville – Lady Simone

The Richard & Chantelle Jolly-trained Lady Simone comes to the Morphettville 1200m following a runner-up effort at Gawler on January 22. The four-year-old mare out of All Too Hard gained an economical run in transit on that day but simply could not reel in the winner on a track suited to leaders. Her win two starts back when settling outside the leader at Gawler on December 18 suggests that a similar run on Saturday will make her hard to beat. From the widest barrier in the small field of seven, we expect Angus Chung to make use of his 3kg claim and dictate terms out in front. With a quiet time of it expected in the lead, Lady Simone should have too much left in the tank late on.

Best Value Bet at Morphettville – Montepulciano

In the second leg of the quaddie, the Richard & Chantelle Jolly-trained Montelpulciano will be looking to break a run of outs when dropping back to the 1800m. The four-year-old brown gelding was last seen finishing fourth at Gawler on January 8 after taking up the running. The son of All Too Hard looks set to gain an uncontested lead throughout this BM68 event and, with Paul Gatt on board, should gain some cheap sectionals. He weakened pretty badly over the 2100m at Gawler last time out, so we are expecting the 1800m to be more to his liking.
