Murray Bridge Race 1

Thomas Farms Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $25,000

WADAANA (7) has improved with each run under her belt this campaign and should be ready to fire fourth-up. Has placed at both attempts at this course and is drawn to get all the favours. Won't get much better of a chance to break through. NIKOLSKY (6) returns for the smart Clarken & O'Shea partnership and looks to have progressed nicely during the break on the back of Strathalbyn trial win. Carries a feather on her back with the 4kg claimer sticking from a trial win. Big chance. COPPER BULLET (1) is a Shooting To Win gelding on debut for the David Jolly stable. Was thereabouts in a recent trial behind some above-average types. Expected to make his presence felt on debut. HYDROSPHERE (5) was much better here second-up when sticking on gamely into the placings. Open to further improvement third-up and is worth keeping safe. STARS ARE ALIGNING (9) is another debutant who has shown positive signs at the trials. Will pay to see what the market does with her.

Second-up. First-up after four months 7th of 10 at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on January 26 over 1200m, 5 len behind Rob The Bank carrying 56.5kg at $7.50. Previously second-up came from midfield; 3rd of 14 at this track 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on September 18 over 1200m, 3 len behind Fine Future with 56kg at $8. Not keen on his chances.

First starter by Reward For Effort out of Broadbeach. Trialled once on January 28 at Strathalbyn when second over 1000m. Has the pedigree so may well pay to keep safe, especially if any market support.

Resuming after a seven months break. Finished off last preparation 11th of 14 at this track 3yo+ Mdn-Sw July 13 over 1400m, soft track; 6 len behind Kirkliston Blu with 55.5kg at $12. On debut sixth of 11 at Morphettville 3yo Mdn-Sw June 1 over 1100m, soft track; 3 len behind Fashion Dog with 55.5kg at $26. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Can make a bright return.

First starter by Sooboog out of Stars Are Out. Trialled once on January 28 at Strathalbyn when second over 1000m. Apprentice rides, claiming 1.5kg. Has the pedigree so could play a major role without surprising.
