Morphettville hosts a nine-race metro meeting on Saturday, August 9, headlined by the Group 3 Behemoth Stakes (1200m). Expect them to use plenty of the track as the day wears on, and make sure to watch the early 1000–1200m races for any lane bias before locking in your feature bets. The track is rated a Soft 6 with the rail out +4m from the 1200m to the winning post and true the remainder. The first race is scheduled for 12:03pm local time.
Behemoth Stakes tip: Recommendation
Freshened and back to 1200m in weight-for-age class, Recommendation looks ready to remind everyone why he dominated last winter. He’s been through a barrier reset in July, and his camp reports he’s back humming, while his historical pattern is a big tick; he’s unbeaten second-up and excels when allowed to stalk and pounce. With genuine speed engaged, the shape should let him camp just behind the leaders and use that short, sharp turn of foot.
Feature Tip
Race 7 – 
#2 Recommendation (1)
5yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Jake Toeroek (58.5kg)
Best Bet at Morphettville: Gin Spirit
Gin Spirit returned to SA after mixing it with the better two-year-old fillies in Melbourne, and this looks a sweet placement. She’s already a Listed winner at the track and trip (Cinderella Stakes) and is unbeaten in two runs over the Morphettville 1050m. A soft deck holds no fears and the 1.5kg claim helps offset topweight. With tactical speed to park just off them and a sharp kick, she should get every chance to bounce straight back from that Caulfield run and pick up where she left off at home.

Race 3 – 
#1 Gin Spirit (7)
3yo Filly | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Rochelle Milnes (a1.5) (60.5kg)
Next Best at Morphettville: Purfect Line
Purfect Line brings the right form for this 1050m dash and looks over the odds with horse racing bookmakers. He was a brave second to Solar Mist in a heavy 0-64 last start and now draws to tag the speed and pounce. His recent figures stack up nicely in this field, and he’s handled soft going, plus the stable has engaged a strong rider in Jake Toeroek. With even luck from the midfield draw, he can settle a pair or two closer and let rip late.
