Murray Bridge Race 12

2025 Country Cup Open Series H Pr1 Division2

Prize Money: $5,000

DAKOTA SHINE (1) goes very well here starting five times for two wins and two minors. Placed last time (31.22) at Gawler in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths. Looks a leading chance on best. BINNAWAY WARRIOR (4) stalked the lead from a low draw then burst clear to score (30.19) at this track in a Grade 5/6 over 530m. Form is hard to fault from this box, with a win and two minor placings from three starts. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. GALACTIC NEMESIS (5) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (30.79) at Angle Park. Winning chance. FANTASTIC HELGA (7) warrants respect with the drop in trip.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 530m at this track by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5/6. Has never missed the frame from three starts out of this draw. Major player.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 530m at Angle Park beaten 2.25 lengths (30.79) behind Dakota Mila in a Grade 5 on September 11. Should be around the mark.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (30.86) over 530m at Angle Park. Tough draw to overcome and appears tested on latest effort.
