Murray Bridge Race 9

Grsa.com.au Stake Pr1 Division1

Stake: $1,739

AFIRE (1) ran well two back when hitting the frame then out of the placings at Angle Park latest but returns to a distance where he has performed well. Look for sharp improvement here. SAND DRAGON (4) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 400m at Gawler, taking a Free For All in a strong 22.82. Has the ability and can find winning form again. AUSSIE AUDI (2) is in top form notching back to back wins, the latest over 300m in (16.73) at Murray Bridge Straight. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. In form and can go on with it. DARK MOONSHINE (6) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Comments

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 530m at Angle Park beaten 4 lengths (30.56) behind Daintree Shady in a Special conditions race on April 10. Placed two back at Angle Park. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.
