Murray Bridge Race 1 - Afl Grand Final @ Murray Bridge Racecourse Mdn Plate
NOAH'S ARK (3) was slowly away on debut but stuck to fence when turning for home before launching late to just miss. If he's clean away this time and settles in the same postcode, he will take plenty of stopping. STRONG MINDED (5) comes through some strong maidens and should be at his top now. Doesn't need to improve much to break through this time. SHE'S ICONNIC (11) has found two smart maiden winners to kick off the campaign. This should be a touch easier but she will still need to go to another level to win. DIVERGENT (7) comes across from Vic and has run two back that can give this a good shake. Callow's booking is a good push. RED RIPPLES (4) resumes over what looks short of a preferred trip but has jumped out well in readiness and deserves consideration. Will be hoping the pace is genuine so he can launch late.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 6th of 9 at this track 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 17 over 1100m, slow going 5.5 len behind Summertime Madness with 58kg at $18. Last start 4th of 10 at Balaklava 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 26 over 1050m, slow going 7 len behind Whiskey Tumbler carrying 58kg at $31. Will find this a bit too tough.

Recent form sound. At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Strathalbyn 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 29 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Xitan with 58kg at $4.40. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Balaklava 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 15 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 1.5 len behind Illustrates with 58kg at $4.20. Nice effort last time. Built nicely and rates one of the key chances.

Last start 7th of 11 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw on July 20 over 1400m, 4 len behind Butterscotch with 57.5kg at $11. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw on June 29 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Premium Return with 57.5kg at $8.50. Definite winning chance. Still improving and is in the mix.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, eased back early on 10th of 13 at Morphettville 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 8 over 1050m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Sassy Little Miss with 53kg at $101. Second-up got back early 6th of 10 at Balaklava 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 15 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 5.5 len behind Illustrates with 54kg at $51. Can't see her breaking through for the maiden win this time.

First starter by Lean Mean Machine out of Oak Park Belle. Has a total of six trials leading in today's debut. Has the pedigree so keep a close eye on any market push.

Third-up today. First-up raced on the pace when 2nd of 12 at Morphettville 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 8 over 1050m, slow going 5 len behind Shivouac carrying 55.5kg at $12. Second-up 6th of 10 at Morphettville Parks 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on August 1 over 1250m, slow going 5.5 len behind Amalfi Dreamer carrying 54kg at $4.40. Promising galloper. Strips fitter and looks a great chance to break through.
