Murray Bridge Race 1

Fred Vella Tyre & Crash Repair (Bm72)

Prize Money: $55,000

I CATCHEM FOX (2) has been in stellar form of late and can keep the ball rolling, after scoring well here last time. A key scratching makes him the clear on top pick. MELLIFLUENT (6) is knocking on the door and gets some good weight off for this. Toeroek sticks and he looks a genuine threat. INDIAN JEWEL (7) has been leaving herself with too much to do but gets the chance to settle closer this time in a small field and good draw. Mines' booking is a good push. No shock to see her fighting out the finish. SURPRISE COMING (5) continues to threaten but has just lacked the winning blow. Drops back to the mile and is in the mix again but needs to find a bit more. BAMYAN BUDDHA (1) is a tough gelding but will likely find it a bit too hard under the big weight. Worth keeping safe in exotics thought.

Recent form sound. At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at this track Bm80 December 20 over 1600m defeating Snoopy Now with 53kg at $2.90. The run before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Gawler Bm78 on December 13 over 1500m, 0.9 len behind Snoopy Now with 53.5kg at $3. Sure to get all the favours from barrier two.

Last start got back early 6th of 10 at Bordertown Bord Cup Bm 74 on December 14 over 2000m, 3 len behind Vega Magnifico with 59kg at $8. Before that came from midfield and scored a big 3.5 len win at Clare Clre Cup Bm 72 November 23 over 1800m defeating Dual Fuel with 58.5kg at $6. Likely to find this out of reach.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
