Murray Bridge Race 1 - Norma & Bushman's Tanks Mdn Plate
KATRINA'S LEGACY (2) is the one to beat after a debut second at Balaklava, where he was beaten a length on soft ground despite starting as only an outside chance. The close third in a recent Balaklava trial supports the idea he can return ready, and his debut run already reads well enough for this. MR KIMBLE (3) is the main danger if forgiven for ending his last campaign with a wide run as favourite at Strathalbyn; his previous fifth at this track, beaten just over a length on soft ground, is a better guide and he has placed at around 1000m. CHAMPAGNE LADIES (5) resumes for a new stable with a Strathalbyn trial win and had a genuine wide-without-cover excuse when well beaten at Ballarat Synthetic. Can feature. OUT ONTARIO (7) has first-time blinkers and her Balaklava fourth two back keeps her in the mix.

Was eighth in a CG Mdn at Halidon last start, beaten four lengths after sitting handy and failing to finish off, with an awkward jump and late interference adding some context rather than a complete excuse. His previous run at this track was weaker, finishing second last on soft ground and beaten nine and a half lengths. Place hope at best.

Returns from a lengthy spell after making a bright debut at Balaklava, leading and finishing second in a Mdn on soft ground, beaten a length by Polunin despite being only an outside chance in the betting. A close third in his latest Balaklava trial says he has been kept up to the mark, and he has already placed at the distance and on wet ground. Wide draw aside, he brings the best profile.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a forgive run at Strathalbyn, where he was favourite but raced wide throughout and finished last, beaten eight and a half lengths. His run prior at this track was far more relevant, making ground for fifth on soft going and beaten just over a length by Nordic Viking. His earlier close fifth at this track makes him a major danger.

Makes his race debut for Lindsay Cadzow with three trials behind him, the latest a second at Mt Gambier. The trial record gives some grounding, but the earlier efforts included sizeable margins and the stable's limited debut data offers no strong push. Watch for market support.

Returns from a three-month break after a Ballarat Synthetic failure that is easier to forgive, as she raced wide without cover and was beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. She had earlier started odds-on at Mt Gambier on heavy ground but was only fair late when fifth. Last run had a wide excuse, but her race form still points more to a placing.

Finished well held when last at Morphettville first-up, unwanted in the market and dropping out after tracking the speed, so there was no obvious excuse. Her previous start at Oakbank had some early and late interference, but she still tired after leading into the lane. Easier company helps only slightly.

Was safely held at Morphettville last start, beaten over 11 lengths after beginning slowly and attracting little market support, but she does come back from Saturday company. The better pointer is her Balaklava fourth two back, beaten just under two lengths after leading and being overrun late. A place chance if she rebounds.

Returns from a three-month break after ending her last campaign with a fifth at Hamilton on heavy ground, beaten six lengths when unwanted in the market and racing keenly early. The run prior at Naracoorte was also a distant fifth at big odds, and she has been unplaced in all eight starts over the past 12 months. Hard to recommend.
