Murray Bridge Race 3

@Thedogssa Grade 5 Series H Pr1 Division3

Stake: $1,739

CABAO NICKEL (4) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (31.26) at Angle Park. Hard to go past form here, unbeaten in two starts. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Will give a great sight again. LOCKABA ROCKET (7) goes very well at the distance with three wins and a placing from six starts. Was out of placings last time (17.21) at Murray Bridge Straight in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 2.75 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. RAFFERTY BLUES (2) can run a bold race on best form. SPRING IGNITE (8) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only one length from Big Merv in second (17.08) at Murray Bridge Straight. Expected to feature in the finish again.

Was out of placings last time (17.21) at Murray Bridge Straight in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
