Saturday Horse Racing Tips at Morphettville 22/3/25

Racing in South Australia this Saturday returns to the Parks circuit, where fine weather is forecast and the rail is back in the True position.

The track should play fairly, with on-pace runners traditionally holding an advantage, though strong closers will still get their chance if the tempo is genuine.

This week's card presents some cracking early value and confidence is high that we can land a few strong bets at nice prices.

Two runners in particular stand out as key plays on the program, Surprise Coming in Race 3 and Immortal Bliss in Race 6, both of whom map well and look primed to strike.

Best Bets for Morphettville by Heath Pope 22/3/25

Race 3 #6 Surprise Coming $6.00

This four-year-old gelding showed immense promise two campaigns ago, finishing luckless but outstanding as a Listed runner-up to Griff.

That form has aged beautifully, with Griff subsequently winning a Group 2 before taking out the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas.

Since then, Surprise Coming has had no luck with stable changes and poor runs, but his first-up performance last start was a real eye-catcher.

Forced to settle last from a wide draw behind a slow tempo, he still reeled off the fastest closing sectionals of the meeting.

Now second-up, a stage of his prep where he has previously thrived, and with the smart Bakeel attracting market attention, Surprise Coming is a much better value play each-way.

Rates: $5.50
Bet: Each-Way

 

Race 6 #3 Immortal Bliss $2.60

This lightly raced three-year-old is loaded with talent and has been outstanding in both runs this prep, despite encountering poor luck on each occasion.

First-up, he was very well-backed but covered too much ground from a wide draw before flashing late into the placings.

Second-up, he settled closer to the speed but was still forced wide, yet remained brave to the line despite another tough run.

Now third-up, he finds a much easier race and finally maps to enjoy a perfect trail just off the leaders.

Can get the job done.

Rates: $2.80
Bet: Win
