Murray Bridge GH tips and results

Our price $5.00 · SP $10.00 · Tala Hutchinson

The gelding has drawn the inside barrier which should allow it to take up a forward position in the early stages. The removal of the brow band is a positive gear change that could help improve performance. The class drop is significant and suggests connections are looking for a confidence-boosting win.

Our price $5.00 · SP $8.50 · Rochelle Milnes

The mare has drawn well in barrier 3 which should allow her to settle midfield with cover.

Our price $6.50 · SP $12.00 · Alana Livesey

Gelding showing promise with a 3rd placing when fresh last start at Halidon. Now second-up where he has a placing from his only attempt. Has experience at the distance with 4 starts and has placed in 3 of his 8 career starts. His record on Good tracks (7:0-0-2) suggests he'll handle conditions, and he appears to be building toward a peak performance.

Our price $6.00 · SP $9.00 · Alysha Warren

Steel Tsunami is second-up from a spell, a pattern that has previously yielded success (1 win from 2 attempts). He has placed at this track and distance and performs well on Good surfaces (2 wins from 6 starts). The gear changes (norton bit off, tongue tie on) suggest the stable is addressing issues from his disappointing last-start effort. While facing a class rise, his overall record (2-1-0 from 7 starts) indicates ability, and the Clarken stable knows how to prepare a horse for this level.

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.50 · Jason Holder

The removal of blinkers could be a masterstroke, and from barrier 2 with Jason Holder aboard, he should get the perfect run.

Our price $2.90 · SP $6.50 · Jacob Opperman

Think Tank brings excellent recent form with a win at Halidon (1800m) and 2nd at Gawler (1700m) in his last two starts. Has a strong record at Murray Bridge with 6 starts for 1 win, 1 second and 2 thirds. Proven at the distance and handles good tracks well. Jacob Opperman stays aboard after recent success and the horse appears well-placed despite the top weight.

Our price $16.00 · SP $18.00 · Stephanie Lacy

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.50 · Sophie Potter

Consistent mare who has been racing in similar or stronger company. Has tactical versatility from barrier 7 and Sophie Potter knows her well. The removal of ear muffs pre-race could sharpen her up early, and her record suggests she'll be in the finish.

Our price $12.00 · SP $14.00 · Polly Brewster

The light weight is a significant advantage, and her recent form suggests she's ready to produce a peak performance.

Our price $9.00 · SP $20.00 · Teagan Voorham

Experienced mare who has been racing consistently with a strong 4th last start at Gawler over 1500m and a win two starts back in heavy conditions. Her overall record of 34:3-2-4 shows she has ability, and she's well-drawn in barrier 5 to get a good run.

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.50 · Kayla Crowther

Balistique is a consistent 4yo mare who won two starts back at Strathalbyn before a disappointing 7th last time out. She has a strong record at the distance (1-1-0 from 5 starts) and gets the services of quality jockey Kayla Crowther. The significant class drop works in her favor, and she should be suited by the predicted fast tempo. Barrier 9 isn't ideal but she typically settles midfield anyway.

Our price $10.00 · SP $17.00 · Margaret Collett

The 7yo gelding has a strong record at the distance (2-5-1 from 20 starts) and drops significantly in class. While his overall win rate is low at 8%, he's a consistent placegetter (29%) and carries just 54kg.

Our price $3.00 · SP $4.40 · Connor Murtagh

Four-year-old gelding showing excellent recent form with a strong 2nd last start at Balaklava over this distance. Second-up today with an impressive second-up record of 1-1-0 from 3 starts. The 60kg is a concern but has the class to overcome it.

Our price $18.00 · SP $61.00 · Stacey Metcalfe

Eight-year-old gelding with a solid 5th last start at Balaklava over this distance. Gets in with just 54.5kg and has a win and two placings at this distance.
