Race preview

Welcome to Murray Bridge for a competitive afternoon of racing on a good four surface under overcast skies, where the Dab Pumps Benchmark 58 handicap over the 1400m journey promises plenty of tactical intrigue for punters. Looking at the early win market order, Flying Ace holds down the mantle as the shortest-priced runner, closely followed by Shalhavmusik, Frontpoint, and Immortal Spirit shaping up right behind them in the betting. With a packed field of twelve runners featuring a mix of on-pace speedsters and backmarkers, sorting through the form lines becomes a fascinating puzzle for anyone keen on a proper racing yarn.

Taking a closer look at the form behind those shorter prices reveals some compelling narratives. Flying Ace is backed up quickly by the stable after a handy and fair enough effort at Strathalbyn over 1350m, sitting as a very fit contender who should handle this trip nicely. Meanwhile, Frontpoint comes in off a sharp short back-up following a dominant win at Strathalbyn two starts back before giving another good account of himself on the same track when well supported, suggesting he can make his presence felt here with even breaks from barrier eleven. Immortal Spirit is another one arriving in winning form after toughing it out well to score at Halidon over 1380m following a Balaklava victory, and drawing favourably in barrier four leaves him very well placed to repeat that dose.

Further down the win market order, Shalhavmusik brings winning momentum into the mix after a determined victory at Gawler over the 1516m trip, showing enough grit last time out to suggest another strong account is on the cards. Speed maps indicate a strong contingent of leaders including Enterprise Lassie, Flying Ace, Immortal Spirit, and Refreshing will look to punch forward early, while Frontpoint maps on-pace to keep them honest. It is shaping up as a tight contest where fitness and tactical race-shape will tell the tale, leaving plenty of room for astute punters to find some value.

Comments

AAP

Last success was 8 Nov. Not disgraced at Morphettville at $61. Easier here but a blowout chance.

ILB

Was $61.00 and underwhelming when 8th last run at Morphettville. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.

RP

Finished eighth but wasn't beaten too far (just under 4l) at Morphettville over 6f (handicap) 11 days ago; others are preferred.

RSIS

Started at 60/1 and underwhelming when 8th last run at Morphettville.

AAP

Went home tamely at Morphettville for new stable at $151. Will be fitter second-up. Can lead or take a sit. Can challenge.

ILB

At $151.00 faded to finish 9th last start at Morphettville but can save some energy from the alley. Will be positive in the run early. Slim possibilty.

RP

Came home ninth, beaten just over 5l, over 6f at Morphettville (handicap, just behind Demiquaver) on first run for this trainer 11 days ago; can be on the premises if replicating best previous efforts.

RSIS

Started 150/1 and folded up in the straight when 9th last start at Morphettville but will appreciate a good stall. Won't be far away during the run.

Backing up quickly. Handy and acquitted himself fairly well at Strathalbyn. Very fit, not out of this.

ILB

Racing on a quick back up. Was $4.00 and found wanting late when 5th last time at Strathalbyn. Shows good early pace. Tough competitor.

RP

Split Frontpoint and Refreshing (Strathalbyn) last week.

RSIS

On a short turnaround. Started 3/1 and couldn't find the line when 5th last time at Strathalbyn. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Will run close.

AAP

On a short back-up. Donkey-licked them at Strathalbyn two back. Gave good account on same track when supported. Very fit, can make his presence felt with even breaks.

ILB

On a quick turnaround. Jumped at $3.90 and overtook some late when 4th last time at Strathalbyn. Stephanie Wright takes a large claim. Competitive type.

RP

Has won here before; was a shade disappointing when fourth (14-5) at Strathalbyn with Flying Ace and Refreshing behind a week ago.

RSIS

Backs up quickly. At 3/1 moved through the field into 4th last run at Strathalbyn. The large claim from Stephanie Wright helps. Definite claims for punters.

AAP

Having a good preparation. On pace and toughed it out well at Halidon. Drawn favourably. Very well placed for a repeat.

ILB

Charged home to win last time at Halidon. Unbeaten last 2 runs. Caitlyn Munro and George Karayannis form a proven partnership. Expecting to settle positively. Modest hope.

RP

Seeking a hat-trick today; gained narrow success in a handicap at Halidon two weeks ago; likely to be in contention.

RSIS

Finished hard to win last start at Halidon. On a winning streak the last 2 starts. Caitlyn Munro and George Karayannis enjoy a high success rate together.

First-up (22-weeks). Had a quiet trial at Balaklava. Awkwardly drawn for return. Expect will need this.

ILB

First up today. Odds of $8.00 and struggled with the pace when 8th last time at Mildura and will be dropping in distance. Hard to have.

RP

Has winning form at this track; missed the frame (beaten 8l into eighth) over 1m2f at Mildura (handicap) five months ago; returns from a layoff; passed over.

RSIS

First run back after a break. Was 7/1 and lost ground in the run home when 8th last time at Mildura and down in distance.

Resuming (20-weeks). Below best last prep and lone win is over 2000m. Expect will need this.

ILB

First up. Jumped at $8.50 and chased well when 5th last time at Mount Gambier but back to a shorter trip. Tough ask.

RP

Generally modest form since maiden success at New Plymouth Raceway last November; out of the frame (beaten 4½l in fifth) at Mt Gambier over 1m2f (conditions race) five months ago; back from an absence here; others appeal more.

RSIS

Fresh after a break. Started at 15/2 and made up ground when 5th last time at Mount Gambier on a heavy rated track but will be down in distance.

Comments

AAP

First-up (14-weeks). Below par in stronger company last campaign. Trialled okay but a remote place hope at best fresh in this line-up.

ILB

Fresh today. Started $71.00 and didn't threaten when 12th last start at Mildura but gets some weight taken off. Place best.

RP

Finished towards the rear of 14 at Mildura in July; this C&D holds no fears; struggled a bit since winning a handicap at Balaklava in December; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

RSIS

Back from a break. At 70/1 weakened to finish 12th last start at Mildura but will appreciate the drop in weight.

AAP

Determined effort to secure victory at Gawler. Primed to give another strong account.

ILB

Dashed home to win last time at Gawler and form has been improving over recent runs. Definite claims for punters.

RP

Got the job done in a handicap by three-quarters of a length at Gawler three weeks ago; has scored over C&D; despite that Gawler success, looks opposable.

RSIS

Bold effort when winning last start at Gawler and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Capable type.

Comments

AAP

Failed to flatter at Morphettville over longer test. Drops to shorter trip. Others more persuasive.

ILB

Jumped at $31.00 and disappointing display when 10th last time at Morphettville but facing a weaker group of contenders. Expected to settle towards the rear. Will be down in distance. Cannot make a case for.

RP

Finished tenth of 12 over 1m1f at Morphettville (handicap) when dropped in distance 11 days ago; has won at this track; should be involved as finished third at Coleraine three runs ago.

RSIS

Started 30/1 and unsatisfactory performance when 10th last time at Morphettville but up against a less challenging field. Likely to get back. Back in trip.

Comments

AAP

On a quick back-up. Local mare, not disgraced at Strathalbyn. Drawn to get a soft run. Could give some cheek at odds.

ILB

On a short back up. Started $21.00 and was getting tired late when 6th last run at Strathalbyn and has a good draw. Do not dismiss entirely.

RP

Consistent lately and can be a player at this level; fair effort at Strathalbyn last Wednesday; can be in the thick of things if building on promise shown last time.

RSIS

On a quick turnaround. Started 20/1 and peaked in the late stages of the race when 6th last time at Strathalbyn and gets a favourable stall. Displays good tactical pace.

AAP

Ridden cold and never in the picture at Balaklava. Switching to 1400m and leaning towards others here.

ILB

Started at $51.00 and disappointing effort when 8th last time at Balaklava. Prefers to settle towards the rear. This won't be easy.

RP

Beaten 7l in eighth at Balaklava over 1m (handicap) two weeks ago; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

RSIS

Started at 50/1 and lacklustre showing when 8th last time at Balaklava. Expected to settle towards the rear.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
