Murray Bdge Picks

NOVELA on debut and in good shape from recent trial successes, tough to beat. TOP OF THE RIDGE has the speed to overcome a very wide draw, could threaten. VALIEVA back from 28 week spell and resumes well running third at Gawler when last first-up, place chance. JURA VAUDOIS couldn't hold on and just missed last start at Balaklava when fresh, place chance.

Lot of guesswork with this lot. LITTLE ROCKET in the money last start running second at Gawler and should run fitter for past attempts, should go well. HYSTERICAL LADY placed at only start at Gawler on a soft track and gets the winkers back on, if in the finish no surprise. LEAVING LAS VEGAS in the money at only start running third at Balaklava and gets the winkers back on, in with a chance. BRIMARVI ROSEMARIE resumes after a 19 week spell and gets the winkers back on, dangerous.

MY HARUCONI should race just off the speed and both wins have come in the dry, serious player. REINE OF NINE placed last start at Murray Bdge when resuming and should race just off the speed, dangerous. SIOUX WARRIOR 2 of three wins have come from dry ground, could threaten. SABERMETRIC won't be far away in the run and four from five wins have been in the dry, place best.

HIT THE SLOPES ran four lengths back from the winner last start at Morphettville and likely to race off the speed, well placed. ROYAL VICTORY last start winner to break maiden at Murray Bdge and Lachlan Neindorf a bonus, could threaten.
