Murray Bridge Race 2

Fischer Motors (Straight N/P) Stake Pr1 Division1

Stake: $2,263

NANGAR EXPRESS (5) has a terrific record here with two wins and two placings from four starts. Below best last time at Mt Gambier (30.57) in a OPEN, finishing a 4.5 lengths eighth. With a clean break looks hard to beat. DAKOTA AVA (7) has a strong record here with three wins and three placings from seven starts. Hit the frame latest (19.57) when third at Angle Park in a Grade 5. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. IS HE HAPPY (1) quickly into stride to win over the 410m at Horsham two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing second at Ballarat last start. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to his credit. Expected to be in the finish again. BEAST CUT LOOSE (8) is hard to fault of late and is a strong top-three hope again.
