Murray Bridge Tips February 5
Spry Civil Construction Benchmark 56 Handicap Tips (Race 3)
Murray Bridge Best Bet - Race 3 No. 1 Talkin’ Italian
Trainer David Jolly has made a good start to the year with the handler saddling five winners from his nineteen runners to date.
The handlers representative here showed good form in 2024 winning twice at Strathalbyn including over 1100m in a set weights maiden in April.
A success over 1100m when racing in a Restricted 64 handicap followed with both of those efforts coming on soft surfaces.
The five-year-old was spelled following a fifth in a 1200m Benchmark 64 handicap here in June and it’s notable that he has run well when placed twice in maiden company at this track in the past.
The pick is expected to come to hand quickly having twice placed second when racing fresh and he boasts a good barrier dropping back to 900m.
Caitlyn Munro’s mount prepped for this with a barrier trial third at Strathalbyn and he looks up to resuming with a win.

Murray Bridge Value Bet - Race 5 No. 14 Annanda
While unable to win in four previous starts the filly has demonstrated ability including when runner-up at this venue on her penultimate start.
The pick was beaten less than half-a-length when racing over 1600m on a good 4 track on that occasion.
The front three finished clear of the fourth that day with the filly going on to perform with credit when fifth dropped to 1550m for a Morphettville Parks maiden a week ago.
A wide barrier isn’t ideal here however it’s notable that the filly is bred to appreciate the step up in distance she gets here.
Teagan Voorham is set to ride for the first time while her mount gets in off a nice racing weight in this contest.
The selection has proven that she handles the underfoot conditions forecast and making her handicap debut she looks value to register her first win.

Murray Bridge Next Best Bet - Race 6 No. 4 Greenidge
The four-year-old registered a couple of good efforts in maiden company on her first two starts this prep.
Those efforts included a length defeat when racing first up over 1200m on a good 4 track at Morphettville in December.
The filly broke through for her first win at Naracoorte when stepped up to 1430m for the first time two starts later prior to finishing runner-up at Strathalbyn next time.
That Strathalbyn second saw her beaten less than a length over 1350m in a Class 1 handicap and she can be forgiven an unplaced effort when fifth over 1500m at Morphettville last time.
Stephen Theodore’s representative has underfoot conditions to suit and while she has been allocated a wide barrier she looks the main pace angle in this field.
Jockey Jacob Opperman, on board at both Naracoorte and Strathalbyn returns to the saddle here and his mount is taken to double her career tally.
Carlton Draught Colts, Geldings & Entires Benchmark 58 Handicap Tips (Race 7)
Murray Bridge Roughie - Race 7 No. 11 Tametomo
The New Zealand-bred gelding recorded some good efforts over much further last prep including when successful in a 2200m event at Balaklava in September.
The six-year-old won by just under a length when racing at Benchmark 56 level that day and he was spelled following a down the field effort over 2500m here a week later.
The selection acquitted himself well over an inadequate 1200m when racing at Restricted 66 level on his return to action here last month.
The gelding was beaten just two-and-a-half-lengths when fifth on a good 3 surface that day with that form receiving a timely boost thanks to fourth home Shisuta Bo’s Morphettville Parks win recently.
Barrier eight shouldn’t pose any issues here and while ideally further would suit the step up to 1400m is a positive in this field.
Barrier eight shouldn’t pose any issues and racing second up with apprentice Felicity Atkinson retaining the ride the gelding may prove up to saluting at big odds.
