Murray Bridge Tips July 12


Thomas Farms Handicap Tips (Race 2) 


Murray Bridge Best Bet - Race 2 No. 4 Starts Now

The son of Pierro showed good form last prep, including when winning over 1800m at Morphettville in early November.

The gelding has continued that good form this time around, with two second-place finishes to open his prep.

Those runner-up efforts included a narrow defeat when racing over this distance at Morphettville at the end of May.

Starts Now contested a Benchmark 64 handicap held on a Soft 5 track that day and he duly went one better returning to Morphettville three weeks later. 

The four-year-old raced from off the pace in a Benchmark 0-64 handicap held over 1540m when again encountering a wet surface that day.

Jockey Jake Toeroek, on board for all three starts this prep, is again in the saddle here and the switch to forecast good going is no issue.

Murray Bridge Value Bet - Race 3 No. 8 Magnetic Edge

The veteran has been running well in the main of late, including when finishing runner-up over 2042m at Morphettville at the end of May.

Magnetic Edge contested a Benchmark 76 handicap and while he failed to shine in the Swan Hill Cup on his next start, he made amends back at Morphettville last month.

He registered the tenth win of his career when taking out an 1800m Benchmark 68 handicap on that occasion, where the son of Magnus stayed on nicely from mid-division to salute at $26.

All three of those efforts came on soft going and the gelding again encountered wet conditions when fourth over 1950m at Morphettville Parks a week later.

A change of tactics saw Magnetic Edge race on the speed in a Benchmark 78 handicap that day and he is expected to be ridden with more restraint here.

Jockey Matt Chadwick retains the ride and his mount looks value to record his second win of the season.

Thomas Farms Handicap Tips (Race 6)


Murray Bridge Next Best Bet - Race 6 No. 14 Anotherhouse

The son of Belardo broke through for his second win when successful in a Class 2 handicap at Morphettville in December.

The gelding raced on a Good 4 track that day and he was spelled following a down the field effort at this venue subsequently.

While Anotherhouse could finish only seventh over 1200m first up this prep, he was beaten less than two lengths after raicng on the pace.

The four-year-old contested a Benchmark 0-64 handicap held on soft going on that occasion and he again encountered a wet track at Morphettville Parks subsequently.

While both of the gelding’s previous victories have come on a sound surface, he has placed in two of his three starts on soft ground.

Apprentice Caitlin Tootell takes a valuable three-kilogram’s off his back and she looks up to improving on her 33% strike-rate (3/9) when teaming up with trainer Michael Hickmott.

Murray Bridge Roughie - Race 8 No. 9 Stratum Pride

Philippe Huserot’s representative was fair in each of her first three starts this prep, including when fourth at Morphettville Parks first up.

Stratum Pride broke through for her first win in well over a year when successful over 1600m at Murray Bridge last month.

The daughter of Stratum Star raced from mid-division prior to getting home by a narrow margin when contesting a Benchmark 64 handicap on that occasion.

While the six-year-old failed to shine at Morphettville Parks subsequently, that effort came at Benchmark 76 level and she gets an easier contest here.

The Soft 5 track expected is no issue in this contest, having campaigned on more testing surfaces in her last three starts.

A wide alley isn’t ideal here, however, she usually races from mid-division and with apprentice Taylor Johnstone back in the saddle, Stratum Pride may prove up to scoring at big odds.
