3Elrond
Drops in company today and draws to settle in a workable position.
2nd pickWon
8Summertime Madness
The wide barrier is a red flag at this track given the barrier bias data, but the raw ability shown in recent runs is compelling enough to rate this a leading contender behind Elrond.
3rd pick2nd
11Karma Queen
Karma Queen gets a favourable barrier under today's bias profile and has an accomplished rider well-suited to the track. Recent trial form was promising and the blinkers addition could bring improvement. Formline is moderate but the map and jockey engagement make this third selection worthwhile.
Value pick3rd
6On Tik
On Tik offers each-way value given its course and distance form (placed at Murray Bridge over 1100m) and past first-up placing.

9Navy Rok
A workable gate and a slow-tempo speed map with no genuine leaders should suit his forward-settling style. Clear form standout in a moderate maiden field.
2nd pickWon
7Durham
Durham is the most consistent runner in the race with five placings from 12 starts, several at a notably higher level than this maiden. Needs to translate placings into a win, and barrier 12 is a mild concern, but the class edge over this field is clear.

Winston's Pride was narrowly beaten last start in tougher maiden company at Morphettville, showing he is racing competitively right now. A solid each-way thirdpick with genuine place claims.

Frontpoint was narrowly beaten last start in an almost identical race here, showing solid current form and consistency. The extreme wide gate (18) is the major query, but the horse has proven he handles the deck and mixes it at this level. A repeat of last start's effort would see him featuring strongly again.

13Chartin
Chartin was narrowly beaten last start at this same track and distance in a similar grade, showing he is race-fit and suited to today's conditions. His extensive experience, proven soft-track form, and good barrier draw make him the most reliable, form-based selection in a moderately open race.

United Legend has been racing consistently well at Murray Bridge, placing behind quality rivals in recent starts including his latest run at this track and trip. His wet-track proficiency and improving form make him a genuine each-way threat in this open race.

★ Top pick6th
5Rocktagon
Rocktagon arrives in career-best form having just won at Morphettville on a similar soft surface, with a strong track record at Murray Bridge GH including a placing here in April. His improving trajectory and proven ability to get the job done at this class level make him the most reliable each-way proposition, though barrier 12 is a mild concern given track bias favouring inside gates.
2nd pick2nd
4Nostryia
Nostryia is the model of consistency with strong soft-track credentials and a habit of hitting the frame, but barrier 16 is a significant hurdle at a track that clearly penalises wide draws. If she can navigate traffic from the wide gate, her fitness and class edge make her a genuine threat, but the map works against her.
