Murray Bridge Race 6

Sky Racing Stake Pr1 Division1

Prize Money: $1,610

THUMANI (1) ran below best last time finishing eighth (22.77) over 395m at this track from Box 8. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Should be very hard to beat this time. COMPTON CHINOOK (5) was in the money last time at Mt Gambier (30.21) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length third. Has already won two times from this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. TAKE THE STEPS (2) is having his first look at this circuit. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 1.3 lengths (22.44) at Warrnambool. The form from his last run stacks up well. Shapes as one to consider. SPRING MARRISHIA (7) is worth including.

Comments

Was out of placings last time (22.44) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 1.3 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from nine starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Comments

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (30.21) over 512m at Mt Gambier. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Last start finished second in a Other on March 5 over 400m at Mt Gambier behind Rusty Wheels, beaten 9 lengths (24.08). Other runners look much more appealing.
