Murray Bridge Race 4 - Afl Grand Final @ Murray Bridge Racecourse Mdn Plate
PRINCESS DAISY (11) had some strong trial form prior to finishing fourth on debut at Morphettville in metro company 11 days ago. She had to work hard in that race, so to finish where she did was very encouraging. This is easier, and she should go close. GLADIAC (10) has improved in each of her 3 public trials and will only need some luck from a tricky gate to be very competitive on debut. Follow any positive market leads. GIFT OF SILENCE (8) won her latest of 3 trials under Rochelle Milnes who will keep the ride for her debut. She is in good hands and adds to the puzzle in a decent field with a lot of unknowns. ZEREALM (5) put in a good effort to finish fourth on debut here, and then was runner-up by a nose at Strathalbyn 3 weeks ago. He is a 5YO having just his third career start, and his first win is not far away. NEVER PEGASUS (3) is another first starter who has won a recent trial. He has been patiently handled and deserves respect, especially if there is any money for him.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 10 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at this track on August 5 over 1000m, slow going 1.3 len behind Rich Britt carrying 58kg at $3.90. Second-up 2nd of 8 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Strathalbyn on August 19 over 1200m, slow going nose behind My Cherie Amor with 58kg at $3. Looks close to a win and can get off the mark here.
