Racing in South Australia returns to the Morphettville Parks circuit for the first time in a month, with the rail in the true position and the track rated a Good 4.

It’s a cracking, competitive program and an ideal setup for punters who like to side with those who make their own luck up on the speed.

The plan of attack for the day centres around runners who map to control or stalk the pace — a proven formula for success on this circuit.

With a few standout setups across the card, Heath Pope has identified three key betting opportunities.

 

 

Best Bets for Morphettville from Heath Pope 8/11/25 

Race 2 No.12 – SKADOOSH $4.80

This filly has been knocking on the door, placing in three of four starts to date.

Two runs back she chased home subsequent Group 3 winner Snow Mercy, then again bumped into a smart one in Virtual Illusion last start when held up at a vital stage.

Her figures stack up beautifully, already rating better than maiden level and she’s drawn perfectly to do no work from the inside gate.

Drops back from stronger company into a moderate maiden, and this looks the perfect chance to finally break through.

The icing on the cake? Bookies are giving us a price.

Rates $3 – BET: WIN

 

Race 4 No.1 – SPEEDTAIL $3.40

Forgive the last-start run in a stronger 1200m race that rated well above standard.

He backs up quickly here into softer Benchmark 64 company and rises to 1400m, which should allow him to settle closer and use his sustained speed in a race lacking early tempo.

Two back, he was a close third behind Shady Thinker and Zunna in a fast race, clocking sectionals that sit right up with class par.

With an even tempo and cleaner run in transit, the data points to a peak performance here.

Rates $3 – BET: WIN

 

Race 6 No.5 – THERMODYNAMIC $8.00

Looks great each-way value in a race that suits perfectly.

His figures over the 1500–1600m range are consistently strong, and he thrives when the tempo is genuine.

The Parks setup Good 4, rail True, mild on-speed bias mirrors the conditions of his Murray Bridge win earlier in the prep.

From the draw, he can either control or sit right behind Itsukushima, which is exactly where he does his best work.

He’s efficient late, maps ideally, and the market has missed the tactical edge he brings.

A genuine overs play at the current quote.

Rates $4.50 – BET: EACH-WAY
