Best bets for big Group 1 day at Morphettville on Saturday.

The Adelaide Carnival charges on into Saturday at Morphettville, with the spotlight firmly on the Group 1 South Australian Oaks. But while the marquee event takes centre stage, there's early value to be found elsewhere on the card.

Our focus turns to a pair of well-placed favourites who look primed to deliver before the big features get underway.

The standout bet of the day lands in Race 2, where Clinton Mcdonald's Albertville steps out. This talented three-year-old has been ultra-impressive in his two runs back this campaign, saluting as favourite on both occasions. He's shown adaptability in his racing pattern—winning on speed when fresh, then storming home from well off the pace for a dominant victory at Mornington last time out.

From a wide gate, expect him to be winding up late again, with Jamie Melham retaining the ride. The slight freshen-up should suit, and he simply looks a cut above this field.

Race 3 sees another standout in Savagery Vibe, a sharp sprinter from the Nick Ryan yard. This daughter of Brutal returned in style with a classy win at Pakenham—narrow on paper, but she always had it under control. She thrives at this trip and possesses enough tactical speed to overcome any map concerns. The big weight is no issue with Mark Zahra staying aboard, and she shapes as the clear one to beat.
