Terry’s Tips – February 7
It is another massive weekend of racing at Morphettville on Saturday with a 10-event program spearheaded by the Sportsbet Premier’s Plate (2006m).
Race 7 on the card is a Listed affair over 2006 metres and has a lot of aspirants keen to push their claim for a spot in the 2026 Sportsbet Adelaide Cup on Monday, March 9.
In early markets the favourite is the talented Andrew Gluyas trained four-year-old Guru Warrior (pictured below). who ended his last campaign on a four-race winning run sequence an dhas jockey Jacob Opperman on board.

One of the standout winning chances on the day for me appears to be Mic Drop in the Sportsbet Fine Form Handicap (1100m) for trainer Will Clarken.
With jockey Kayla Crowther on board, the mare is unbeaten in two starts since coming from New South Wales and is highly regarded by her new stable.
Another runner which will be hard to beat is Rebel Tuesday in the opening event, the Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap (1050m) for trainer Phillip Stokes and jockey Jacob Opperman.
She is resuming from a break after being placed at both runs in her initial campaign of racing.
Value wise on the day, I am going to suggest Chance Taken for trainer Chris Bieg and jockey Will Price in the fifth event, the AIG Security Handicap (1800m).
It is worth noting the stable also had him entered for the Sportsbet Premier’s Plate (2006m) and are hopeful he could possibly find himself lining up in the 2026 Sportsbet Adelaide Cup next month.
The weather is going to be perfect for what should be another terrific day at the headquarters of racing in South Australia.
