Murray Bridge Race 2 - Pat O'reilly Memorial Mdn Plate
VANDAROSS (8) returns after a 21-week spell. Closed last prep with three appearances in stakes races, the highlight a third to the smart Verzain in the Group 3 Breeders. Recent jump-out winner who looks poised to break through then go onto better things this campaign. GIFT OF SILENCE (5) was most impressive on debut last start over 1100m at this track, coming from near the tail to be beaten in a photo. Had a subsequent tick-over trial. Promising mare who will be tough to stop over the extra 100m. BILK (4) made it four minor placings from six starts when he found one better as $3.10 favourite over 1250m at Morphettville Parks recently. Gets in well again after the claim and cannot be written off. YOURWORSTNIGHTMARE (9) left his run too late and was runner-up on debut over 1100m at Gawler ten days ago. Has been gelded since that run. Looks a key runner. VETTURA (13) run on powerfully over 1100m on debut here last time. One to watch for in the dying stages.

Dual acceptor. Second run back. First-up after five months sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 12 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Bordertown on September 11 over 1100m, slow going 1.75 len behind Ilustrious Warrior carrying 58kg at $12. Previously second-up 5th of 11 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at this track on April 10 over 1100m, slow going 11 len behind Like A Drifter with 57.5kg at $21. Others offer greater appeal.

Third-up today. Resuming 6th of 12 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at this track on September 2 over 900m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Send It Again with 58kg at $4. Second run from a spell rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 14 in a 3yo+ Mdn-Sw at Strathalbyn on September 27 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Make Me A Match carrying 58kg at $12. Draws well but looks safely held.
