Murray Bridge Race 1 - Fred Vella Tyre & Crash Repair Mdn Plate
LIKE A DRIFTER (3) is a maiden galloper who was last seen beaten a long neck as favourite on Christmas Eve at Strathalbyn. Has shown positive improvement whenever sighted publicly - race day and trials, winning his two lead-ups. Leading player. BRAVE FORTUNE (1) was in the market on debut at headquarters off the back of some strong trial performances but never really got going. Is sure to have come on from the hitout and is worth following up. MYSTRIX (9) was denied narrowly from making the perfect return at Balaklava. Backs up quickly and is a likely improver that needs to be taken seriously. CAMOOWEAL GIRL (6) returns after four months in the paddock. Rattled home into fourth when last sighted after turning over 7L off the leader. Readied with two trials. Expect her to drift back from the draw and be saved for the final shot at them.
