Murray Bridge Tips August 5
Spyr Civil Construction Maiden Plate Tips (Race 2)
Murray Bridge Next Best Bet - Race 2 No. 7 Olivia Marie
A promising debut saw Olivia Marie finish third over 1100m at Strathalbyn in January.
The mare featured prominently in betting and raced near the speed before fading late to be beaten less than two lengths on a Good 4 surface.
The daughter of Bivouac found only two more experienced rivals too strong in the nine-runner event and should have improved from that race-day experience.
Shane and Cassie Oxlade’s representative has trialled well ahead of her return, including a recent victory at Strathalbyn, while her past three hit-outs have all come on Soft ground.
The wide barrier is a concern, but Olivia Marie arrives in good order and is taken to overcome the draw and resume with a victory.

Murray Bridge Value Bet - Race 3 No. 9 Spartan Lass
Three top-three finishes from four Western Australian maiden appearances this preparation underline the consistency of Spartan Lass.
The pick of those efforts came at Belmont Park two starts ago, where she was narrowly beaten over 1000m on Good ground after jumping from a wide barrier.
Softer conditions should pose no concern after the four-year-old finished third on a Soft 6 at Bunbury subsequently, with the runner-up from that race winning next start.
Having shown good speed from the barriers previously, the mare should be able to race prominently from barrier seven.
Spartan Lass is Indianna Weinert’s first runner since relocating to South Australia and represents value with Caitlyn Munro’s 2kg claim another positive.

Murray Bridge Best Bet - Race 5 No. 7 Valued
Two seconds from as many appearances at Murray Bridge highlight Valued’s liking for the venue.
The latest came in a Benchmark 70 early last month, where the New Zealand-bred gelding was beaten less than two lengths over 1800m.
Two further runner-up finishes have followed at Class 1 level, including his latest effort over 2200m at Balaklava when finding only a lightly weighted rival too strong.
That performance came on a Soft 7, so any track downgrade would enhance his prospects, while the drop in distance should pose no issue given his previous form over shorter trips.
Valued represents the in-form Garret Lynch stable and is taken to provide apprentice Ashlee Stone with a winner.

Murray Bridge Roughie - Race 7 No. 5 Dreams Fulfilled
Previous course success and a strong recent placing give Dreams Fulfilled claims at a big price.
The gelding produced his best effort in recent starts when third here two runs ago, settling midfield and performing well in a similar event on wet ground.
Beaten just over one-and-a-half lengths after striking trouble in running, he then delivered a creditable fifth in Class 2 company at Morphettville Parks.
Both performances came over 1400m on Soft 6 going, and similar underfoot conditions are expected on Wednesday.
A wide draw isn't a huge negative on this big circuit and Dreams Fulfilled has performed well when ridden with restraint, while Rose Hammond’s 2kg claim gives the Andrew Gluyas-trained runner a chance of causing an upset.
