Murray Bridge Race 4

2026 SPRY CIVIL CONSTRUCTION Murray Bridge Straigh

Prize Money: $2,500

TODD KEEPING (2) goes very well at the course with three wins and a placing from five starts. Hit the frame latest (16.79) when second at Murray Bridge Straight in a Grade 5. Expected to go close. DARCY DAKOTA (3) has had a break of ten weeks since finishing second (25.28) over 457m at Q Lakeside. Has a good record here including seven wins. Expected to feature on best form. DOLAN (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (35.39) last time in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Form at this distance is sound. His last run is a proven strong form reference. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. CATCH SOME RAYS (5) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box.

Comments

Hit the frame last time at Q Lakeside but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by one length in a Grade 4/5 at Q Lakeside and clocking an excellent 25.20 for the 457m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by a neck at Murray Bridge Straight (16.96) beating Parrakie in a Grade 5 on April 15. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 400m at Gawler in a handy (22.93), beating Wait And See. Will find this a bit tougher, needs to find a bit more.

Scored by 2.5 lengths last time (30.31) in a Grade 5 over 525m at The Meadows. Has two successes and seven minors from 14 starts from box 8. Tough field and looking to others this time.
