Only Racing has you covered for Saturday horse racing action at Morphettville and Randwick. We have your best bet of the day as well as a cheeky roughie. I like the look of Bad Detective at Morphettville in Race 4. Meanwhile, my roughie of the day is Father's Day at Randwick in Race 10. The track conditions at Morphettville are looking good for racing, the track is a good 4 at this stage. The track at Randwick is looking in good condition too, it's rated a good 4 for race day on Saturday. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Bad Detective #1 Morphettville R4

Bad Detective has been outstanding and is my best bet for the upcoming races. Secured a win last start. Bad Detective raced at Morphettville Parks, covering 1550m and finishing 1st. Carried 60.5kg with J Holder aboard. Track was good. Connections will get to witness their horse racing with Jason Holder in the saddle on Saturday. This jockey has plenty of wins under their belt. Bad Detective is trained by Cody Reardon. Flawless at this distance of 1550m - expect another bold showing. Knows the Morphettville track well and has won here before. At this venue, has a career record of 1-0-0, including 1 victory. Capable of producing another strong performance.

Best Roughie: Father\\'s Day #13 Randwick R10

Father's Day odds may change, but for now, I like its chances of running a place or getting the win. A close finish saw this runner take second place last start. Has the speed to make use of an inside barrier. Jockey Alysha Collett gets the ride on Saturday. They're a talented jockey with a solid race sense. Father's Day has been under the guidance of Bjorn Baker. At this trip, holds a record of 1-1-0, with 1 win. Hasn’t won at Randwick yet, but might be ready to change that.
