Best Bet - Morphettville Race 8

Giga Kick $2.00
Giga Kick looks the best bet on a tricky and competitive program.
The handicapper has completely missed the former Everest winner, and his trials leading into his fresh assignment have been mouthwatering.
The Scissor Kick gelding traditionally sprouts wings first-up, and his best performance here could be fences and panels better than his rivals.
The awkward gate is the primary concern.
Reserve Bank is flying at present.
The Capitalist colt is progressive and deserves his shot at Group 1 glory on Saturday.
The big boy should be rock-hard fit after a lengthy and fruitful campaign, and I suspect this has been a long-range target from the astute camp.
Acid Test!

See You In Heaven $13.00
See You In Heaven can bounce back after producing a below-par first-up performance at the top level.
The Divine Prophet mare flopped out of the barriers and failed to threaten at the pointy end of the contest.
Her second-up record must be respected, and I suspect she will appreciate the significant drop in class.
The 1200m suits, and I expect her to get the run of the race from a perfect inside draw.
Over the odds!
New York Lustre is a winning machine.
The Manhattan Rain mare is building a nice picket fence next to her name, and this looks like a very winnable assignment.
Barrier three puts her into all winning conversations and has been well supported in most all-in markets.
Ready to take the next step!

Zarkana $34.00/$7.50
Zarkana can run a drum at cricket-score odds.
The Trapeze Artist mare was okay first-up in a hot-form race, and she put the writing on the wall for a fruitful campaign.
Her record at the track and distance must be respected, and the current track conditions will suit her to a tee.
She has been specked at a huge price, and I expect her to be savaging the line late.
The class rise and her racing pattern and style are among the primary concerns.
Great Maximus strips fitter after an honest performance at Oakbank.
Barrier one puts one hoof on the till, and the 2kg apprentice claim could prove a training masterstroke.
The significant drop in grade is advantageous, and he traditionally performs well at this stage of his preparation.
He may need some luck getting off the dulex as they run for the doctor!

It’s a very tricky edition of the Cummings Stakes, and nothing would surprise here.
