Marburg Race 8 - 2026 Goldbet Goldstrike Series Final (Sky 1)
MERGE RIGHT (3) broke last start but still managed to get the cash by 8 metres over 2200m at this track. That was a pleasing progression after missing the placings the run before. It doesn't get any easier but she is going well enough to take this out. GETAGRIP (9) made it two wins from two runs this prep last start when he got the cash by a head over 2200m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another bold race. MARTIN MAGIC (8) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at this track over 2200m. TILLY JAYNE (10) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 16 metres into second at Albion Park.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 2nd (FT Fr1) over 2200m at this track, beaten 8 m by Merge Right (2:47.70) in 4yo+ NR 40 to 70 on March 23 at $17. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into eighth behind Amillionchances at Albion Park over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR up to 42 on February 24 at $51. This looks a far sterner test.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. Won by 1.1 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Albion Park (2:38.00) beating Ascot Showtime in 3yo+ NR up to 40 on March 27 at $1.22. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fourth behind Merge Right at this track over 2200m in a 4yo+ NR 40 to 70 on March 23 at $14. Not likely to threaten this time.

Solid performance when a close second behind Getagrip at this track over 2200m in a 4yo+ NR 40 to 70 on March 23 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Cardlesfromheaven at Albion Park over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR up to 75 on March 27 at $19. One of the chances.
