Murray Bridge Tips January 18


Fred Vella Tyre & Crash Repair Maiden Plate Tips (Race 3)


Murray Bridge Roughie - Race 3 No. 2 Collated

Matthew Seyer’s gelding performed well in his first two starts including when racing on a heavy 8 track at Bordertown on debut.

The pick was beaten two-and-a-half-lengths into third when contesting a maiden over this distance that day.

The four-year-old went on to finish one place better when dropping to 1112m for a maiden held at Mildura the following month.

The son of Hualalai stayed on nicely to be beaten less than two lengths having been ridden cold when racing on a sound surface for the first time that day. 

The selection failed to shine when beating just one rival home stepped up to 1400m at Balaklava eleven days later and he was spelled subsequently.

A return to hold up tactics is expected with Jessica Tzaferis up for the first time and switched to metro racing her mount may prove up to springing a surprise to break through for his first win.

Magic Millions Handicap Tips (Race 4)


Murray Bridge Best Bet - Race 4 No. 7 Gotta Go Guru

A dual winner last prep the filly ended her 2023/2024 season with a good third when beaten just over five lengths in the Group 3 Sportsbet Ken and Helen Smith SA Fillies Classic at Morphettville.

The four-year-old raced over 2500m on a good 4 track that day and started off her campaign this prep with two solid efforts on the Parks track at Morphettville.

The pick raced over inadequate distances on each occasion including when fourth in a 1400m Benchmark 66 handicap at the end of November.

While the daughter of Fiorente finished well held over 1700m at Gawler last month she returned to winning ways stepped up to this distance last time.

The selection came home over three lengths clear of the second in a Benchmark 72 handicap that day with the sixth home boosting the form with a win here a week ago. 

Trainer Andrew Gluyas does well at this venue and with Taylor Johnstone up she is taken to complete a double.

Thomas Farms Handicap Tips (Race 7)


Murray Bridge Next Best Bet - Race 7 No. 3 Star Sirius

The four-year-old broke her maiden when debuting at Balaklava in May last year and she resumed with a victory at the same venue in November.

The pick came home nearly a length clear of her rivals when ridden cold in a 1200m Class 1 handicap contest. 

The daughter of Sir Prancealot raced on a good 4 surface that day and encountered similar underfoot conditions when fourth over 1250m at Morphettville Parks subsequently.

While the selection was beaten just under four lengths in a Restricted 62 handicap on that occasion it’s of note that the race has produced a number of subsequent winners including the first, third and fifth.

Trained by Richard & Chantelle Jolly the filly went on to lose out by half-a-length when runner-up over 1200m in a similar race to this at Morphettville three weeks ago.

The filly boasts a good barrier here and with regular pilot Jake Toeroek set to ride she looks up to recording the third win of her career.

Sportsbet Fast Form Handicap Tips (Race 9)


Murray Bridge Value Bet - Race 9 No. 13 Suggestive Miss

Trainer Travis Doudle has his string in good form at present with three winners from seven runners so far in 2025.

The handler’s representative in this contest won her earlier this season when coming home one-and-a-half-lengths clear of her rivals over 1600m in November.

The mare raced at Restricted 56 level that day and was freshened before finishing a good fourth, beaten just over three lengths in a Restricted 62 handicap at this circuit last month.

The selection raced over this course and distance in the second of those efforts with both starts coming on the good 4 going expected for this event.

The daughter of Denman had a subsequent winner back in fourth when placing third in a 1600m Restricted 64 handicap at Morphettville three weeks ago. 

The pick has shown tactical versatility in the past and racing off a low weight she looks value to register the third win of her career.
